Jonathan Coulton – Square Things (Guitar)

E                      Am     C7
I love the shape of square things

F       B7      E
But in my defense

E                       Am    C7
Right at the edge is where things

F            B7       E
Started to not make sense

E                        Am   C7
Inside the cube you're spinning

F             B7     E
Colors slide into place

E                           Am   C7
Just when you think you're winning

     F        B7
You mix up a different face

C#m      G#
Then you wish for

B       F#
Bigger fish or

A        E        F#
Just some other thing

C#m     G#
So you cast her

B          F#
In your disaster

A                   Am
Yes, it hurts, but only when you sing

E                   Am  C7
Like your heart is broken

F               B7        E
Bruise at the softest touch

E                      Am   C7
Best leave the rest unspoken

F               B7
Who wants to care that much

C#m          G#
Here's your chance kid

B          F#
Look what you did

A         E      F#
How could I complain

C#m      G#
At the world's end

B       F#
With a new friend

A                    Am
Getting high on the same old dumb champagne

E                      F#
Still me, quiet as a grave

C#m      B
I could play dumb

A      Am
Walk away from

E                                F#
What might be something I could save

C#m      B
Take my chances

A      G
Circumstances won't change me much

C#m    G#
God forbid you

B          F#
Leave the grid you

A         E       F#
Know you must disclose

C#m          G#
That's your one strike

B          F#
What's it feel like

A                    Am
Soft and round, but sometimes even those

E                          Am    C7
Things are shaped like square things

F               B7        E
Corners where you can hide

E                       Am    C7
Sometimes you can't repair things

F           B7      E
Everyone choose a side
