Beirut – Forks And Knives (Guitar)

G   Em        Am            D       G
  Uptown, the street's in a calming way

       Em      Am        D          G
And outside is warm as a bed with a maid

      Em        Am      D         G
And I find it's all our waves and raves

     Em        Am      D      (G)
That makes the days go on this way

G Em Am D
  Oo-oo-oh   (x4)

G   Em        Am  D        G
  I heard the sad sound of words

   Em         Am        D        G
Spoken from a beak of a wise old bird

  Em        Am          D     G
Uptown, the streets are kept afloat

    Em           Am     D  (G)
Our ground never leaves me alone

G Em Am D
  Oo-oo-oh   (x4)

   G     Em          Am         D
He means well, saying, I've got stories

   G       Em           Am        D
Of wine, superb, and of course my childhood

G         Em            Am       D
Forks and knives, and a hospital bed

      G           Em   Am       D    (G)
Where I turned my life over and over again
