Courtney Barnett – History Eraser (Guitar)

A           C
I got drunk and fell asleep

A           C
Atop the sheets but luckily

A           C
I left the heater on

A           C
And in my dreams I wrote the best

A           C
Song that I've ever written

A           C
Can’t remember how it goes

A           C
I stayed drunk and fell awake

A           C
I was cycling on a plane

A           C                D            C
And far away I heard you say you liked me

A             C
We drifted to a party, cool

A             C
The people went to arty school

A             C              D           C
They made their paints by mixing acid wash and lemonade

A             C
I found an Ezra Pound

A             C
And made a bet that if I found

A             C             D            C
A cigarette, I'd drop it all and marry you

A             C
Just then a song comes on:

A                C
"You can't always get what you want"

A             C             D          C
The Rolling Stones, oh woe is we, the irony

A             C
The stones became the moss

A             C
And once all inhibition's lost

A             C            D         C
The hipsters made a mission to the farm

A             C
We drove by tractor there

A             C
The yellow straw replaced our hair

A             C              D           C
We laced the dairy river with the cream of sweet vermouth

A         C
In my brain

A         C
I re-arrange

A         C             
The letters on the page

D         C
To spell your name

A             C
You said, "We only live once"

A             C
So we touched a little tongue

A             C
And instantly I wanted to

A             C
I lost my train of thought

A             C
And jumped aboard the Epping as

A             C
The doors were slowly closing on the world

A             C
I touched on and off

A             C
And rubbed my arm up against yours

A             C
And still the inspector inspected me

A             C
The lady in the roof

A             C
Was living proof that nothing

A             C
Really ever is exactly as it seems

A         C
In my brain

A         C
I re-arrange

A         C             
The letters on the page

D         C
To spell your name

A             C
We caught the river boat downstream

A             C
And ended up beside a team

A             C
Of angry footballers

A             C
I fed the ducks some krill

A             C
Then we were sucked against our will

A             C
Into the welcome doors of the casino

A             C
We drank green margaritas

A             C
Danced with sweet señoritas

A             C
And we all went home as winners of a kind

                       D               C
And in the taxi home I'll sing you a Triffids song"

A         C
In my brain

A         C
I re-arrange

A         C             
The letters on the page

D         C
To spell your name
