CAPO on 2nd [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/o/okkervil-river/206807.html ] C Am C Safe, safe, enjoy your time feeling so safe, Am Em and treasure that smile on your face, Am D G okay? Because time will see that it's replaced in a while. C Am C Am So go on, smile. And handshakes all around- that's your style, and no one Em Am D would call it denial, for you're not even sure what's in store, Though it's G more. F C G Am Than you'll be able to take standing up straight. And it won't be okay. F C G And you won' be somebody who it's just happening to, because it's a trap D that you, and only you, C Am C have laid, laid with a towel up over your face, Am Em in your armchair, just lying in wait, Am D G waiting forces were gathering outside your door. C Am C They sharpened their knives, knives and smiled with no smiles in their eyes, Am Em Am D G a little bit larger in size and a little bit hungrier for that tiny prize. F C G Am And my mother once said "Son, remember this, no matter what someone did: F C G Am that they once were just a kid at breast and in bib, in blanket and crib. F G C Am So just reach inside yourself and find the part that still needs help, F C G find that part in someone else and you'll do good", so D I thought that I would. (F - C - F - C - F - C - G - Am) X2 C Am C Hey I love you, it goes without saying. Am Em I would give you the world on a tray, though Am they're already tracing a D G line across your throat. C Far too late in the game you'll Am find that you have been C Am Em betrayed: propped up and pushed into your place. Am I could claim that it all would D G C F go great, but the reason I came is to say that it won't. C F You should know that it won't, C F You should know that it won't, G D G C You should know that it won't, and so, Phillip, let go. MoAv  |
