Bright Eyes – I Believe In Symmetry (Guitar)

     G                    Am
Some plans were made, and rice was thrown

  C                  D
A house was built, a baby born

    C                   D
How time can move both fast and slow

 G
Amazes me

         G                  Am
And so I raise my glass to symmetry

       C                    D
To the second hand and its accuracy

       C               D
To the actual size of everything

    G
The desert is the sand

                  Em
You can't hold it in your hand

                C
It won't bow to your demands

            Am
There's no difference you can make

            D
There's no difference you can make

                        Em
And if it seems like an accident

             C
A collage of senselessness

            Am
You aren't looking hard enough

         D
I wasn't looking hard enough

    Cm
At it

   G             Am
An argument for consciousness

    C                D
The instinct of the blind insect

    C                  D
Who makes love to the flower bed

    G
And dies in the first freeze

      G                   Am
Oh, I want to learn such simple things

   C             D
No politics, no history

     C                D
'Til what I want and what I need

    G
Can finally be the same

             Em
I just got myself to blame

                 C
Leave everything up to fate

              Am
When there's choices I could make

              D
When there's choices I could make

                       Em
Yeah, my heart needs a polygraph

                   C
Always so eager to pack my bags

        Am
When I really wanna stay

        D
When I really wanna stay

        Em
When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)

        C
When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)

        Am
When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)

        D
When I wanna stay (When I wanna stay)

        Cm
When I wanna stay

     G
The arc of time, the stench of sex

     G
The innocence you can't protect

       D
Each quarter note, each marble step

     D
Walk up and down that lonely treble clef

C
  Each wanting the next one

C
  Each wanting the next one to arrive

G
  Each wanting the next one

D
  Each wanting the next one to arrive

    G
An argument for consciousness

     G
The instinct of the blind insect

     D
Who never thinks not to accept

     D
Its fate; that's faith, there's happiness in death

C
  You give to the next one

C
  You give to the next on down the line

G
  You give to the next one

D
  You give to the next on down the line

    G
The levity of longing that

   G
Distills each dream inside my head

   D
By morning, watered-down, forget

    D
On silver stars, I wish and wish and wish

C
  From one to the next one

C
  From one to the next right down the line

G
  From one to the next one

D
  From one to the next right down the line

C
  You give to the next one

C
  You give to the next on down the line

G
  You give to the next one

D
  You give to the next on down the line
