The Antlers – Stairs To The Attic (Guitar)

C G 
(Note: these are played in quick sets of three, with the first two being one chord 

    G                
I decided on that evening

           C
That I was through with sitting still

        Am
I stood up and started moving

       C
With a childlike fascination

          G
For those doors that don't have locks

        C
And the stairways that were blocked

         Am
So I dug through the obstruction

       C
Put my fist around the railing

         G
And each step was far apart

         C
And far away from steps before it

        Am
And the air was getting thinner

        C
Until I couldn't breathe at all

         G
And if I happened to look behind me

           C
There were miles and miles of stairs

            Am
Enough so I couldn't see the doorway

      C
But I knew that it was there

           G
And on the last step I was dizzy

                   C
Because there were stairs in all directions

      Am
But I found another door

                C
And through the door there was the attic

            G
Without old clothes

     C
Everything had opened wide

         Am
Into the jaws of something bigger

    C
And suddenly I saw that I was

Em           G           C               G     D
Upstairs and outside and freezing on the roof

Em             G
Finally it had found me

    C           Em               A      C
The answer, the feeling, and the truth:

         G
That I'm small

         Em
That I'm small

         C      G
That I'm small

      A                           Am
I'm smaller than the smallest fireball
