Bright Eyes – Trees Get Wheeled Away (Ukulele)

C
Anchormen spike their blood

G
wear masks of mud 

                 C                     F
cucumbers cut to fit their eyes

         C                                        G                  
and so no one would know how tired they've grown

    C                G                C
of talking and telling their lies

C
while your tvs change stations

         G
scroll messages

                   C                                 F
victims and christians both drinking blood

                       C                                 G
and they pray for the destruction of all hatred

                         C              G            C
more often just those with hate for us

  C                                                        G
cause it hurts when you discover one's worse and one's better. 

C                                      F
to suffer or cause others to

C                                    
and you can live by your conscience

        G
now guilt is a concept

           C             G               C
you're no longer subscribing to

              F                 G
there's a virgin in my bed

               C        G         Am
and she's taking off her dress

       F                        C                 G 
and i'm not sure what i am gonna do

               F                        G
there's a song stuck in my head

         C             G         Am
and i can't help singing it

     F                       C                    G
oh how i hope my singing pleases you

                        Am
cause i am not who I’ve become

               G                   C
but what you made me into

                C
oh we got no health insurance

     G
no cellular service

     C                        F
no disease they can cure

                             C             
but we need more money to burn

             G                                C      G                        C
so each person must learn the dollar amount they are worth

               C
and your pills make me dizzy

     G
forgetting my body

  C                         F
i watch as it walks away

                        C
and i just keep drinking the poison

       G            
and smoking the cartons

   C               G      C
a pack and a half a day

              C                      
so when time comes to claim me

      G                                       C                         F     
my friends and my family will gather around my grave

                 C                                             G
and they'll believe that they knew me and love me and miss me

       C             G        C
and all call me by my name

F                               G
so imagine what you want

              C          G        Am
and then hold on to that thought

          F                        C              G
cause that's as close as it will ever come

      F                                      G                  C                   Am
and believe you're where you are and keep acting out the part

                F                                            C                           G
but at the end of the end of the day the trees all get wheeled away

                     Am                       G                         C   Am                               
and you'll be standing alone in a blank blank space

    F                                    G
so believe you're who you are

       C        G        Am
and stay in character

                F                          C                     G
but at the end of the play the audience walks away

                     Am                         G        C
and you'll be shivering cold on a well lit stage.
