Okkervil River – On A Balcony (Guitar)

G                                 C
Misty, when you want to hit those wedding bells,

           Am                        G            C
you should stop yourself. You should see yourself angry.

G                                   C
Screaming to the ceiling, girl, you look like hell.

         Am                  C
But when riding pills we get heavenly,

     G     C   Am C


[Verse]
[tab]G                             C
And baby's not a wreck on the wayside yet,

             Am                            G              C
although she stuck out her neck to see how dark she could take it.

G                          C
The wind is wild. Why, the spray is wet!

      Am                   C
And a heart gets high as a heart can get,

     G     C   Am C
on a balcony,

      G        C     Am C
high above the sea.

G                          C
You are the woman, on some Firefall.

       Am                  G        C
Do you wanna ball on that brilliant beach?

   G                               C
So hard I thought I hear my future daughter call

            Am               C
through the static wall of a flashing dream.

           Am                        F
And it's a wild, weaving ride to the sea.

       G                 C
Little demon, believe it from me.

Am                               C             Am
 They say that you're living off something-and-soda,

     C                 F                    G   Am C
some fine wine from 1983. They say you're a fantas y.

G                            C
Clap, like a comma. Hear the sentence sing.

         Am
Hear the whole world ring.

          G             C
Hey, it's bursting with bravery.

     G                                      C            Am              C
And, Misty, when it's whittled down to just one thing it amazes me, that simplicity.

  G                                       C
I wandered through the supermarket like a slumming king.

        Am                             G                C
And the sun, it stings. Hell, I hadn't seen the sun for weeks.

G                              C                 Am
When we finally walk away from everything on our own four feet,

           C
I hear you call my name

       G     C   Am C
from a balcony,

      G        C     Am C
high above the sea.

                       G     C   Am C
I hear you call from a balcony.

                                G G G G G G G C
And I like the way you say it.
