Los Campesinos! – This Is A Flag There Is No Wind (Guitar)

E
CAN WE ALL PLEASE JUST CALM THE FUCK DOWN?

        E                                E/G#
In an analogy that makes sense to most

          Caug                               Caug/F#
This opportunity it found me unmarked at the far post

      C#m                         C#m
But I blazed it right against the crossbar

        A                                                   A/C#
Of the pub that you had worked in since you moved here from Bath spa

          E                                              E/G#
But we agreed we couldn't trust a guy that didn't like a single sport

      Caug                                         Caug/F#
But those bow-legged suitors hadn’t given me much of a thought

     C#m                                         C#m
They said it smelled delicious but it smelt of burning flesh

     A/C#                          A/C#
Not meant to be malicious but this is the cross we bear

    E            F#m       A
The story of the winter I forgot how to speak

             E              F#m          A
My mind was like a nation's flag but my breeze was too weak

           E               F#m            A
How they dragged me to the hospital, said I had gone deaf

            F#m
But I heard everything they said

                A
It's just I had no interest

        E                               E/G#
Our friends have put the two of us on suicide watch

          Caug                                   Caug/F#
And every second spent away we spend watching the clock

          C#m                         C#m
There are photos of us holding hands outside of the frame

        A                                               A/C#
I was there, but wonder where our fingers were all the same

              E                                      E/G#
It’s like our self-restraint (It’s the size of a fingernail)

                  Caug                         Caug/F#
And then we chew it down (Yeah we chew it down all the same)

            C#m         
Sad eyes for sad goodbyes

       A                                         A/C#
It’s a crime, It’s a crime, It’s a crime, It’s a crime

    E            F#m       A
