Bright Eyes – Nothing Gets Crossed Out (Guitar)

G/B                                  Am
Well the future's got me worried such awful thoughts

D                                    G            G/F#
My head's a carousel of pictures, the spin-ning ne-ver stops

G/B                   Am
I just want someone to walk in front

        F           G
And I'll follow the leader

G/B                                    Am
Like when I fell under the weight of a schoolboy crush

D                              G     G/F#
Started carrying her books and doing lots of drugs

G/B             Am
I almost forgot who I was

    F            G
But I came to my senses

G/B                                 Am
Now I'm trying to be assertive, I'm making plans

D                           G              G/F#
Going to rise to the occasion, yeah, meet all their demands

G/B                  Am
But all I do is just lay in bed

    F            G
And hide under the covers

G/B                     D
Yeah, I know I should be brave

    G       G/F#       G/B         D
But I'm just too afraid of all this change

G/B                                Am
And it's too hard to focus through all this doubt

       D                          G       G/F#
I keep making this to-do list but nothing gets crossed out

G/B                         Am
Working on the record seems pointless now

         F                      G
When the world ends who's gonna hear it?

        G/B                            Am
But I'm trying to take some comfort in written words

     D                           G           G/F#   
Yeah Tim, I heard your album and it's better than good

G/B                           Am
When you get off tour I think we should

F                  G
Hang and black out together

                G/B                     Am
Cause I've been feeling sentimental for days gone by

D                                        G         G/F#        
All those summers singing, drinking, laughin', wasting our time

G/B                              Am
Remember all those songs and the way we smiled

         F                 G
In those basements made of music?

G/B                 D            G    G/F#     G/B
But now I've got to crawl to get anywhere at all

           D
I'm not as strong as I thought

           G/B
So when I'm lost in a crowd

            D
I hope that you'll pick me out

      F
How I long to be found

              D
The grass grew high, I laid down

      G/B
Now I'm waiting for a hand

          D
To lift me up, help me stand

         F
I've been laying so low

             D
Don't want to lay here no more

           G/B
Don't want to lay here no more

             D
Don't want to lay here no more

             F               D
Don't want to lay here no more

G/B                        Am
Everything that happens is supposed to be

    D                       G                 G/F#
And it's all predetermined, can't change your destiny

G/B                             Am
Guess I'll just keep moving someday, maybe

     F                G
I'll get to where I'm going
