This Is Only Going To Go One Way

G     G7    C     Am D
B  Em G  A  C  Am C  D

[Verse 1]

G              G7
It's impossible to forget the
C                    Am          D       G G7 Am D
time when there were six ways to Sunday
G               G7
All the same forget it you must 'cause
C             Am      D       G Bm E
this is only going to go one way

  Am                Em
A peg-leg captain's ghost
     C                   G
once said these words to me
     Cdim               G
when forced to choose between the devil
Cm6               D
and the deep blue sea

[Chorus]

G               G7
Flip a piece of eight in the air 'cause
C              Am        D       G  Am D
this is only going to go one way

[Verse 2]

G                   G7
She's lost count of all the occasions
C                Am           D       G G7 Am D
she's considered punching his face in
G                    G7
Deep down they know, come judgment day, they'll
C             Am           D          G Bm E
hang together side-by-side come what may

   Am               Em
He knows he's often dreamt
   C              G
of shortening her life
      Cdim             G
She's felt her hand discreetly moving
Cm6             D
for the kitchen knife

[Chorus]

G                  G7
Get a room, you're meant for each other
C              Am        D
This is only going to go one way

[Verse 3]

   Am           Em
An old magician said
      C                G
While swallowing strychnine
    Cdim            G
Too bad my greatest trick can only
Cm6              D
be performed one time

G            G7
As we hurtle down the expressway
C             Am           D
Buckle up, prepare for the new day
B    Em     G            A7
Open up the doors to the bomb bay
C   Am     C    D
  Invoke Geronimo

[Chorus]

G                    G7
Brace yourself, your destiny's written
C            Am          D
This is only going to go one way
