Elliott Smith – Alameda (Ukulele)

C                     B7
Walk down alameda shuffling your deck

            Am          F
of trick cards over everyone

          C             B7
like some precious only son

Am                       F
face down bow to the champion

C                     B7
Walk down alameda looking at the

                  Am
cracks in the sidewalk

Am                   F
thinking about your friends

        C                 B7
how you maintain all them in a

Am                  F
constant state of suspense

         Dm     E      Am      C
for your own protection over their affection

Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart

     Cm         F                   Bb               C
you broke your own cause you can't finish what you start

C                  B7                              Am
Walk down alameda brushing off the nightmare you wish

      A                      F
could plague me when i'm awake

            C                B7
and now you see your first mistake

Am                             F
was thinking that you could relate

      C      F                    Am
for one or two minutes she liked you

         C      F
but the fix is in

    Dm        E
you're all pretension

Am        C
I never pay attention

Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart

    Cm         F                     Bb               C
you broke your own because you can't finish what you start

Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart

    Cm         F                     Bb               C
you broke your own because you can't finish what you start

Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart

    Cm         F                     Bb               C
you broke your own because you can't finish what you start

Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart

    Cm       F               Bb                    C
if you're alone it must be you that wants to be apart
