Chords

intro riff: the intro and verse part where ben slides up the guitar are easy to play its an E chord, and then slide it up so your pointer finger is on the sixth fret, and other two are on the seventh. Intro: E

E
Life will tower (??) a quarter scale, of precious oxygen we never inhale,

Am                                                        E
i cracked a bottle against the safety rail, give me time

E
and you were like a walking compliment, tall in stature and exceptionally well read,

Am                                        E
adobe glasses and a cartigan, oh come on

          Am                            C                              E
and oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around

E
you said that all these things you've learned to ignore, hidden cameras on the casino floor

Am                                                  E
and what gets payed for behind hotel doors, oh come on

             Am                       C                           E
and pretend every slot machine is a robot amputee waving hello

        Am                             C                               E
people stare into their eyes and they feed them little prizes, in they go

Am Em Am Am Em Dm D

      G            E
 and entering the twilight, the basement where the sun had never spilt, you said that

were lonely, then we kissed like lonely people do

E
you said the city has a beating heart, that pushes people down the boulevard

and they're all hoping for a wishful fill, in the desert full of dollar bills

Am                                                   E
and foolishly you know they pay me still, oh come on

          Am                          C
and oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around

          Am                          C
and oh so empty were the faces of the dealers and the waitresses around
