Jesse Welles – That Can’t Be Right Chords 

The track is in the key of C major.

[Intro]
C    E7    F    G
 
 
[Verse]
C
We both got some hard-knocks 

We might have earned
 E
Some folks go to school
E7                         F
Others have to learn that most of 

life is wishing
                         G
Tryin' to get back to a memory 

of a memory
 
You never might've had
 
    C
My heart's a locomotive
 
Runs on blackened coal
     E
And cigarettes and coffee
         E7
I could never roll my own
 
               F
I'm borrowing matches from the padre
 
Hearing church bells toll
           G
Wondering what the hell's the difference
         G7
Between dying and getting old
 
 
[Chorus]
               F
That can't be right
                             C
What year is it this year tonight?
                       G      G7
If I die, I'll die of fright
               C
That can't be right
 
 
[Verse]
      C
That acid flashback really
 
Really cracked my ice
E
Do the right drug once
       E7
You'll get to do it twice
 
             F
And now I'm crowin' about places
 
And things I've never been
              G
You know I'm never gonna whore it out
     G7
And take that gig again
 
      C
I believe the light is cracklin'
 
Round the edge of anesthesia
 E
Lying on a table
          E7
With the whole world reachin' in ya
 
 F
Hope to Jesus Buddha Bob
 
That they washed their hands
            G            G
There's no class action package
         G7
To break all my shitty bands
 
 
[Chorus]
               F
That can't be right
                             C
What year is it this year tonight?
                       G      G7
If I die, I'll die of fright
               C
That can't be right
 
 
[Instrumental]
C   E7    F     G   G7
 
 
[Verse]
            C
When I was younger
 
It confused me
 
Now I think I get it
       E
My old man, he don't like pictures
 E7
'Specially if he's in 'em
 
 F
Time is not a mirror
 
It's some distorted view
        G
Of the way you thought you was
              G7
And what you thought they thought of you
 
             C
And all the trash that I tossed out
 
It weren't by no means good
     E
But just 'cause someone tells ya
       E7
Don't really mean you should
 
    F
My friends would try to cheer me on
 
The best they knew to do
                G          G
But there's no rescuing a diver
          G7
With two cinder blocks for shoes
 
 
[Chorus]
               F
That can't be right
                             C
What year is it this year tonight?
                       G
If I die, I'll die of fright
               C
That can't be right
 
 
[Verse]
            C
I'm still agog with mortal dogs
 
And skills I don't possess
           E
I'm a practitioner of practice
       E7
I'm-a givin' it my best
 
     F
I'm left and I'm still leaving
 
I got several miles to go
         G            
I ain't ready to do something
               G7
'Till there's something I'm ready for
 
           C
There's a pillar in the desert
 
And it's all alit with flames
           E
It's been burning there for eons
         E7
It's the end of all the days
 
         F
We owe apologies
 
And ass-whoopin's
 
It seems to even out
           G                 G
You can't never know you're happy
           G7
If you've never lived without
 
 
[Chorus]
              F
And that's alright
                             C
What year is it this year tonight?
                       G      G7
If I die, I'll die of fright
                      C
Mm mm, that can't be right
 
 
[Outro]
               F
That can't be right
                             C
What year is it this year tonight?
                               G     G7
Four white horses towards the light
               C   F  G  C
That can't be right
