Chords

These are the chords that Evan plays in the rough trade records version version of the song, found here: These particular voicings are pretty tough unless you have a very flexible ring finger A way you can get around this is by tuning the 6th string to a D# and then playing that string with the middle finger throughout the song.

     C
That night when I lifted my head up

        F
& I was seeing what was trembling there

       G                    Am
On the edge of my restless eyelid

       F
On the tip of the horizon's lash

       C
On the lip of the collapsing letter

       F
In the lap of the confusing moon

      G                       Am
I'm reduced to an estranged illusion

       F
I'm consumed by all the shit in my room

          C
Well then maybe if I pick my room up

        F
Carve a path in my moonlit floor

            G                 Am
Through the colors I adorn my body with

        F
In the ritual life I adore

    C
Nowadays I usually just get up

         F
Put on a sweater from the day before

         G                    Am
Like you said it's got to get better

           F
I wear my shadow like a uniform

[Chorus]

     C   
I'm torn 

             F  
right through

  Am G   C    G   F
Divided right in two

[Verse 2]

   C
So while I do align my library

        F
By the colors on the spine of my books

         G                 Am
When I'm looking for a resolution

             F
But there's wreckage everywhere I look

          C
& there's brambles scratching at the window

          F
& there's silver shining on the thorns

           G                        Am
I could've sworn the moon's singing to me

            F
Strung in a phase so strange & torn

        C
Now the stars look fake & strung up

      F
& the colors on the floor are worn

      G                   Am
& the hues on my body are muted

       F
In the shadow, my uniform

[Chorus]

     C   
I'm torn 

             F  
right through

  Am G   C    G   F
Divided right in two

     C           
I'm lost 

        F
and I'm losing

    Am    G    C    G  F
The brightest light I knew

[Outro]

     C
That I knew

F Am G C C F

     C
That I knew

F Am G C C F
