The Lawrence Arms – Light Breathing Me And Martha Plimpton In A Fancy Elevator (Guitar)

E        B
  me and martha plimpton

C#m      B
   in an elevator

G#m           A
   her golden labrador

E           B
  kissed my index finger

E            B
  two in the morning

C#m       B
   summer saturated

G#m         A
   i'd been drinking

   E          B
and it'd been raining

C#m                B
   and it felt so strange

   C#m
to say and when she

 E       B       A  C#m B
smiled i turned away

E               B
  but that's so like me

C#m           B
   timid self conscious

         G#m
crippling   she seemed

   A
so friendly and 

E
  i must have seemed

B
seem uninteresting

E             B
  soaked from walking

   C#m
and   smelled like

B              G#m
boozed and cigarettes

              A
i stood there listening

E               B
  to hear light breathing

C#m                B
   and i wanted to say

    C#m
her films and i wanted

            E
to make her laugh and

 B           A         C#m B
smile but i stood still

E/G#             A
    i managed to mutter

E    E/G#         A
hello    her eyes shining

       E        B
in the fancy elevator

      E/G#
lights    i stood

A               E
awkwardly hands fluttering

E/G#          A
    the doors parted and

    E
she said goodnight to me

C#m
   and her voice

           B
was like a song 

         C#m
leave my head

              E
and i thought martha

    B          A    B
i'm running on empty

C#m
   and i couldn't help

    B
but think i'd missed

                  C#m
another chance to live

E      B      A B
way it always is

E      B      A B
way it always is

   E B A
whoa

   E B A E B A C#m B E B A C#m B
whoa
