Money is the fuel that drives his car
If you've not got cash you won't get far
Money is a measure of who you are
If you've not got money you won't get far
Love is the fuel that drives my car
On four star love I might get far
Love is the seed that drives me on
But it doesn't take long before love goes wrong
Feed me the fuel that drives his car
We've lost the map
We've gone too far
Fear I don't know who you are
Who's got my drugs, who's got my car
A vehicle to me is not enough love
If you've not got love then fear's your stuff
Lust be the fuel that drives my car
I'm lost in love
I've gone too far
With a winning smile
You can fool the world
With a bit of fame
You'll soon get laid
Power is the source we're looking for
Life only sucks when you're two feet tall
Greed is the source of a restless need
And a restless need is what drives me
I've gone too far
I've gone too far
I've gone too far
I know what you've got
(repeat to end)
If you've not got cash you won't get far
Money is a measure of who you are
If you've not got money you won't get far
Love is the fuel that drives my car
On four star love I might get far
Love is the seed that drives me on
But it doesn't take long before love goes wrong
Feed me the fuel that drives his car
We've lost the map
We've gone too far
Fear I don't know who you are
Who's got my drugs, who's got my car
A vehicle to me is not enough love
If you've not got love then fear's your stuff
Lust be the fuel that drives my car
I'm lost in love
I've gone too far
With a winning smile
You can fool the world
With a bit of fame
You'll soon get laid
Power is the source we're looking for
Life only sucks when you're two feet tall
Greed is the source of a restless need
And a restless need is what drives me
I've gone too far
I've gone too far
I've gone too far
I know what you've got
(repeat to end)

James - Gone To Far
Taken from the "Double EP" Tomorrow
Written and perfomed by James

Solo:

G--------------- x 5 G-------------------- G------------------ x2
D--------------- D-------------------- D------------------
A--------------- A-------------------- A------------------
E--------------- E-------------------- E------------------
Note that [12] means play the bent note that you've obtained from the 10th fret.
Song Structure:
Few guitars audible apart from one that plays Riff 1 right at the beginning, and that periodiaclly comes in playing Riff 2. One guitar also plays a sort of Solo about 1:40 in. The chord barely changes from C except just before Tim sings "Gone Too Far," at which point a G F C progression becomes apparant. During the other parts of the song switching to Csus4 (or even better Fsus2/A to stress the A in the bass) at some points adds much needed guitar-variety. Also the song switches to Am for the finish.
Lyrics/Chords:
C
Money is the fuel that drives his car
If you've not got cash you won't get far
Money is a measure of who you are
If you've not got money you won't get far
Love is the fuel that drives my car
On four star love I might get far
Love is the seed that drives me on
But it doesn't take long before love goes wrong
Feed me the fuel that drives his car
We've lost the map
We've gone too far
Fear I don't know who you are
Who's got my drugs, who's got my car
A vehicle to me is not enough love
If you've not got love then fear's your stuff
G
Lust be the fuel that drives my car
F
I'm lost in love
C
I've gone too far
With a winning smile
You can fool the world
With a bit of fame
You'll soon get laid
Power is the source we're looking for
Life only sucks when you're two feet tall
Greed is the source of a restless need
And a restless need is what drives me
I've gone too far
I've gone too far
I've gone too far
No matter what you got
No matter what you got
Am
No matter what you got
No matter what you got
No matter what you got
No matter what you got
