Okkervil River – Title Track (Guitar)

C           G            Am
All of the stage names evaporate

                  F                 C            G
And it's just a blood-flushed and heart-rushing race

           F             C       Am                           F
Either to kick off too soon or stick around too late, to be far too 

                 G
dear or too cut-rate

         Am
Hold my hand again

             G
Like at the lake

            Am
Hold that mirror, babe

          G
Up to my face

           Am
Hear the whippoorwill?

       F
Am I breathing still?

C            G        Am                          
A Hollywood Babylon bike-a-thon for breakdancers

F          C             G
All broken down in their beds

F         C        G
Now intravenously fed

F                  C           G
From a bag hanging over their heads

               Am
Can I put you down for some miles?

             G
What do you say?

                  Am                                 G
Cause don't you know, it's going to be a long, long way

               Am
But if you've got the cash

              F
I'm ready to bust my ass

     C               G          Am                    
So, take this thin broken down circus clown reject and

 F            C         G
Give her the name of a queen

         F             C        G
Don't I know her from the mezzanine?

            F         C             G
She didn't look like no princess to me

                     Am
But with the proper words

    G
Bestowed

              Am
And with her morning shoot

              G
Her evening clothes

                   Am
Don't call her a prostitute

                         G
Well, she ain't one of those

                  Am
Just call her a proper little statue

         F
Come unfroze
