Bright Eyes – Stairwell Song (Guitar)

D                          F#m
Underneath an awning concentrating on the rain

        G                               A
Hearing laughter in the stairwell, it reverberates

        D                                  F#m
They’re talking ’bout the weekend, all the plans that they have made

          Gm                               Bm  A
Said it’s just nice to have something to anticipate

        Bm       F#m
We were dressed alike

           G             D
Though you were one of a kind

       G         D
For an enigmatic guy

             F#m A
You seemed relatable

         D                               F#m
You were smart, but so foolish with your heart

                       G
Eyed the exit from the start

       Gm6           G             Bm  A
In the end, couldn’t tell what you pretended

       D                            F#m
Always wild with your sly renegade smile

                     G
Perfectly disheveled style

       Gm6      G                 Bm A
What a waste, I regret it to this day

         D                                  F#m
When I’m trapped inside my bedroom planning out my last resort

         G                            A
I have a great imagination, so I just teleport

        D                                F#m
And I’m back with you in Benson, sitting on that rotting porch

         Gm                                Bm     A
Where we only drank the good stuff that we could afford

         Bm      F#m                G               D
Could be so damn mean, but you were always sweet to me

    G               D                F#m   A
You swept me off my feet and we went flying

           Bm      F#m          G               D
Tried your best to hide all the sadness in your eyes

      G                D                  F#m A
But I caught you every time that that was possible

         D                       F#m
You were kind, existential and refined

                         G
Always something on your mind

     Gm6       G               Bm  A
Even then, our love was not in question

        D                                        F#m
Nothing changed, you just packed your things one day

                 G               Gm6
Didn’t bother to explain what happened

         G         Bm   A
You like cinematic endings
