Chords

Artist: The Cat Empire (sung by Felix) Title: Reasonably Fine Album: Cinema (2010) Capo: no No intro(!), singing starts right away. In the album version, the first two verses [I lost my shoes...are cold now] are played with only one strum per chords, except for the first F chord [I lost my keys], that is not (!) played. Have great fun playing. Dm: 000231 F: 133211 Gm: 355333 C: 032010 F7: 131211 Bb: 113331

  Dm
I lost my shoes I lost my wife

  F
I lost my keys I lost my kite

    Gm                                      C
And though I'm young at heart I'm so much older

Dm
Subway eyes and banked up skies

     F
And violent towns and frozen pies

    Gm                                     C
And all them football crowds who lost are cold now

     F                           Dm
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me

     F                     F7                           Bb
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine, 

            C                                  F
Reasonably fine, at least to beat my drums in time

Dm
Suddenly I've realised

     F
That I won't be here when I die

    Gm                              C
And life upon this plain is somehow fleeting

Dm
Time and all it's precious wine

   F
Is somehow primed to make us whine

    Gm                               C
And fret even then when we should be sleeping

     F                           Dm
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me

     F                     F7                           Bb
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine, 

            C                                 F
Reasonably fine, at least to play my pretty chimes

Dm
Empty cries and hollow toots

    F
And all the signs that have no use

    Gm                              C
And fingers point accusingly are sinning

Dm
Humourless hypocrisy

    F
And all the crimes we didn't see

    Gm                                     C
The sigh that knows the devil might be winning

     F                           Dm
But you're the same as you and I'm the same as me

     F                     F7                           Bb
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine, 

           C                                 F
Reasonably fine, at least to let my music shine

    Dm
And maybe it's the greatest test

   F
A man surrounded by his death

    Gm                                   C
But reaches out and tastes the sweetest honey

Dm
    That's how you make me feel

  F
I love you more than death is real

     Gm                               C
It's sad but in the end it might be funny

     F                           Dm
That you're the same as you and I'm the same as me

     F                     F7                           Bb
And hopefully we can find ways to let us be reasonably fine, 

            C                               F
Reasonably fine, at least to leave an open mind
