Bright Eyes – Southern State (Ukulele)

         F          
Well the songs you sung spiraled

    Am
And hung 'round like echoes 

  Bb                 C
Or ripples on a pond

       F
So you circled the globe

        Am
Spent a year on the road

      Bb           C
Without ever going home

            F
More than a couple of days, 

           Am
Then you’d leave right away

        Bb               C
Run to a girl you barely know

        F
But you like how she sings

        Am
And you can’t help but think

            Bb                  C 
That there’s something that she knows and could teach you

Bb                              C
  While you’re sleeping in that southern state

Bb                               C
  Where the bars are filled with people you can’t hate

    Bb
But try as you try

    C
You still can’t relate to them 

        Bb                     C
And you drink that whiskey down

               Am
As they ask you, 

                 C       F           
“Are you who you say you are?”

                Bb               F
Are you who you say that you are?

                Bb                C
Are you who you say that you are, you…

                Bb               F
Are you who you say that you are?

                Bb      F    E Bb
Are you who you say you are?

              C
The fact that you can’t tell makes us like you even more

              F 
So now you’re trying again

        Am
Or just visiting friends

      Bb                   C
One had just had his heart broke

              F 
For the first time in his life

       Am
He realized there are times

        Bb              C
When you can’t make it alone

               F  
But now you’re giving advice

      Am  
As if you had the right

   Bb               C  
To use a word like “love”

         F
It’s a negotiable term

          Am
What gets said’s not what’s heard

        Bb                 C     
So it’s different then for everyone

                Bb                  C
But you're still hanging ‘round that college town

        Bb                          C
With your…your new life your new lover you’ve found 

           Bb                      C
And you’re keeping her up at night, bringing her down

                 Bb                  C
She’ll watch you drink yourself to death

    Am
But won’t ask you, 

         C               F
“is this really what you want?”

        Bb              F
Is this really what you want?

           Bb                   C
Is this really what you is this what...

           Bb             F
Is this really what you want?

        Bb               F    E Bb
Is this really what you want?

             C                                                F, Am
Are you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got?

             Bb                           C                   F, Am
Are you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got?

                               Bb
Yeah that’s it, I think you’re sticking with me now 

        C
Because I’m all you’ve got

go-ot, no...i'm all you go-ot, go-ot no, go-ot no...
