Silver Jews – Self-Ignition (Guitar)

G         Em
Oh self ignition,

C              D
I can feel her suitcase sensing mine

G                  Em
She was her own permission,

     C                             D
Miss nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine nine nine nine

G             Em          G         Em
Charles James sofa, and a household truce

          C                                 D
And there every wednesday night beneath the counter booth

Am             C                  G              Em
I woke up in a house I could understand

Am                   C                      G             D
The descendants of defendants were making demands.

G               Em
Gently thinking backwards

       C                        D
On the psychedelic promises god made to me in the dark

G                        Em
Some of these kids don't have words

           C           D
They're as helpless as parakeets in a park

  G          Em               G            Em
I couldn't believe it, when I saw that you wrote

       C                           D
That a burning passenger shouldn't ruin the boat

Am                 C                        G          Em
If dreams are your body telling you it's confused

Am              C                     G          D
Then I've got a dream I think you can use

G            Em
All lace and fiction

       C                       D
In the lawless rooms where you finally lost your health

G                    Em
I read the evening edition

        C                       D
And the pumpkin on the porch is trying to heal itself

G            Em           G          Em
I don't like magic, and I don't like tricks

         C                       D
Havin' a hell of a time believing we exist

Am          C                  G        Em
The mailman dreams he's Paul Revere

Am           C                       F       D
He wants the whole town to buy him a beer

Am                          C
And I have to remember that your not wanting me

G                        Em
Doesn't make me any less here
