Bright Eyes – El Capitan (Guitar)

  G                                                    C
Standing there watching as they're climbing up El Capitan

  G                                                         D
Reaching for the draw and they're sleeping in their rubber bands

      C                                                       G
You said they were insane, shook your head as you grabbed my hand

        D                                                  G
Led me deep into the woods until we finally had to double back

      G                                                    C
Yeah, everything was roses, every night, it was baths and wine

       G                                                               D
Every time you would undress me, I could swear that you were freezing time

                C                                           G
Oh, I thought that we were twins and lovers, we shared one mind

   D                                               G
Until it turned transparent and blatant and serpentine

         C                                                   G
So it's time to pay the piper, don't want to be the last in line

         C                                                         G
They'll auction you at Christie's, you're gonna fetch a handsome price

        D              Em              C
And in time, they'll decide what was yours and what was mine

           G                                  D                    (G)
And you'll end up in a ditched dream feeling like the color of the sky

            G                                           C
So you're playing your Nintendo, spun out like a gramophone

 G                                              D
Living in a basement, sleeping down there all alone

        C                                                 G
The conditions were perfect, more perfect for a perfect storm

            D                                                 G
Then they found you in the morning hanging from an extension cord

     G                                      C
The world is on fire, California is a crucible

       G                                                D
We're running out of water, they already stole all the gold

          C                                            G
You kept kissing me like Judas, your betrayal was apropos

                D                                          G
You said, “I'm washed up and that's what I get for growing old”

      C                                                G
It's time to pay the piper, you gotta be the first in line

                C                                                       G
Oh, so they're burning you an effigy, well, that happens to me all the time

           D          Em         C
Something kind in disguise, a canary in the mine

           G                           D                     G
You can't say I didn't warn you or prepare you for the afterlife

G
    I did warn you

G
    Hey, baby, I did
