No Capo Bright Eyes Cartoon Blues Intro: Asus2, A#/Bbsus2, Em Em I listen to a lecture of nonsense till dawn Bm By a plagiary poet with dark glasses on Am He said "how did you ever dream up that song? Bm B Em The one where the baby dies." Em I said "I'll tell you the secret which one's your good ear? Bm Yeah, people are made up of water and fear Am If there weren't women present we wouldn't be here Bm B Em So lets make like we're friends" Em And the pot turned to powder and soured the mood Bm And the people I'd come with were gone from the room Am So I asked like a child "may I be excused?" Bm B Em And disobeyed them all Em Into that late night latrine rain soaking through my shoes Bm I tried walking backwards to get less confused Am Working off a theory I could never prove Bm B Em That it was life itself to blame Am Em And time ruined the world Am Em Like a failed revolution Am Em A tumor we could not remove Csus2 Bm Em An old friend, a constant, the blues Em, Asus2, A#/Bbsus2 x2 [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/bright-eyes/86080.html ] Em Now my days are distractions, sit wringing my hands Bm Solitaire, crosswords, and films on demand Am When you turn from a cartoon back into a man Bm B Em You start to smell that human smell Em And so I sleep with the fan on to drown out the street Bm And the noise rising up from the bar underneath Am Well for that inconvenience all my drinks are free Bm B Em So I guess it's just as well Em Why do I envy the ending right from the start Bm Just get it together to take it apart Am Watching the horse as it follows the cart Bm B Em I sweep up my broken spell Am Em And I felt something changing the world Am Em Like a new constitution Am Em A thief I would have to pursue Csus2 Bm Em At all times, at all costs, the truth Em, Asus2, A#/Bbsus2 Em, Asus2, A#/Bbsus2, Bsus2 Em, Asus2, A#/Bbsus2, Bsus2, Csus2 Em, Asus2, A#/Bbsus2, Bsus2, Csus2, C#/Dbsus2 Em, Asus2, A#/Bbsus2, Bsus2, Csus2, C#/Dbsus2, Dsus2 End on: Em  |
