The Mountain Goats – Old College Try (Guitar)

A                               C#m      
From the housetops to the gutters

D                       E      D
From the oceans to the shores

    A                                      F#m
The warning signs have all been bright and garish

D                           E
Far to great in number to ignore

A                          C#m
From the cities to the swamplands

D                        E     D
From the highways to the hills

    A                           F#m
Our love has never had a leg to stand on

D                                          E
From the aspirins to the cross-tops to the Elevils

              D 
But I will walk 

E            A        D
down to the end with you

            A                E         A
If you will come all the way down with me

A                        C#m
From the entrance to the exit

   D                                  E     D
Is longer than it looks from where we stand

  A
I wanna say I'm sorry 

    F#m
for stuff I haven't done yet

D                              E       
Things will shortly get completely out of hand

      A                           C#m
I can feel it in the rotten air tonight

       D                     
In the tips of my fingers 

       E          D
in the skin on my face

       A                     F#m
In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light

       D                                E
In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place

             D        E
Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell

         A                    D
Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell

        A               E A        D
I will walk down to the end with you

            A                E         A
If you will come all the way down with me
