------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BOOKS FROM BOXES - Maximo Park ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Dan G Email: [email protected] [Intro] Dm Dm Dm Dm C C Csus4 C [Verse 1]

Bb       F         Dm             C
   Night falls and towns become circuit boards

       Bb              C               Dm       Dm
We can beat the sun as long as we keep moving

Bb          F    Dm                   C
   From the air, stadium lights stand out like flares

    C                  Csus4      C           Bb
And all I know is that you're sat here right next to me

[Verse 2]

Bb           F   Dm                   C
   We rarely see warning signs in the air we breathe

Bb               C              Dm        Dm
Right now I feel each and every fragment

[Pre-chorus 1]

Bb                  C           Dm
   This paper trail leads right back to you

C Bb                        C       Dm
     You say you need me to step outside

[Chorus]

Dm               F         Bb
   You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes

    C                         Csus4   C
You passed me up so as not to break a promise

Dm           F             Bb
   Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar

        C                           Csus4      C
In the long run, said you knew that this would happen

[Verse 3]

Bb              F                    Dm               C
   Well this is something new but it turns out it was borrowed too

C              Csus4   C        Bb
Why does every let down have to be so thin?

Bb        F             Dm              C
   Rain explodes at the moment that the cab door closed

  Bb               C               Dm
I feel the weight upon your kiss ambiguous

[Pre-chorus 2]

Bb                    C    Dm
   You have to leave, I appreciate that

C Bb                       C            Dm
     But I hate when conversation slips out of our grasp

[Chorus]

Dm               F         Bb
   You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes

    C                         Csus4   C
You passed me up so as not to break a promise

Dm           F             Bb
   Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar

        C                           Csus4      C
In the long run, said you knew that this would happen

[Bridge] E G D D E G D D

E                G
   Two bodies in motion

          D
This is a matter of fact, it wasn't built to last

E                G
   Two bodies in motion

          D
This is a matter of fact, it wasn't built to last

[Chorus]

        C                           Csus4      C
In the long run, said you knew that this would happen

Dm              F       Bb
   The pounding rain continued it's bleak fall

    C
And we decided just to write after all, after all

[Outro] Bb F Dm C C Csus4 C Bb Bb

Bb              F       Dm                 C
   The pounding rain continued it's bleak fall

    Bb         C             Dm
And we decided just to write after all
