Parquet Courts – Keep It Even (Guitar)

          D                         Dm                          C
There's a drawer in my house that I try to keep closed but it's open

          G                         F                     C
There's a commitment that I made to be somewhere but it's broken

   F              Fm6            C                       G
An oblique mantra in my head, it lies there on the floor like a bed that would

F               Dm              C
Collapse like a trap, if it was spoken

Am                G
You gotta keep it even, even when you're uptight

Am               A
Even when you're happy, even when you're reaching for some

D                                  Dm                        C
Line I've had in mind, it's been repressed over time, so I'm breathing

  G                             F                   C
Seduced by an excuse that could not be made but I'm speaking

          D                          Dm                       C
There's a phone with a number that I try not to call but it's ringing

    G                          F                 C
For someone I've tried to keep to myself but I'm singing

     F                        Fm6             C              G
It's logic that's twisted and paraphrased and justified by a distance

     F           Dm                C
That separates a bond, bound of persistence

Am                G
You gotta keep it even, even when you're uptight

Am               A
Even when you're happy, even when you're reaching for

     D                         Dm                         C
That drawer in my house that I try to keep closed but its open
