The Shins – A Comet Appears (Ukulele)

Am    G            F     C
  One hand on this wily comet

Am       G             C
  Take a drink just to give me some weight

Am     G        F    C
  Some uberman I'd make, I'm

F            G
barely a vapor

Am       G     F         C
  They shone a chlorine light on

Am  G           C
  a host of individual sins

Am        G       F     C
  Let's carve my aging face off

G          C
fetch us a knife

G              C
start with my eyes

G            C
down so the lines form a

F         G
grimacing smile

Am           G          F      C
  Close your eyes to corral a virtue

Am   G            C
  Is this fooling anyone else?

Am      G          F       C
  Never worked so long and hard to

F              G
cement a failure

Am       G           F            C
  We can blow on our thumbs and posture

Am        G              C          
  but the lonely is such delicate things

Am    G            F           C
  The wind from a wasp could blow them

G         C
into the sea, with

G                 C
stones on their feet

G              C          F         G
lost to the light and the loving we need

F          C     
  Still to come

F           C            G       
  the worst part and you know it

F            C    
  there is a numbness

F        C              G
  in you heart and it's growing

Am           G          F          C
  With burnt sage and a forest of bygones

Am           G              C   
  I click my heels get the devils in line

Am          G              F         C
  A list of things I could lay the blame on might

F                G
give me a way out

Am              G              F         C
  But with each turn it's this front and center

Am       G          C
  Like a dart stuck square in your eye

Am      G            F           C
  Every post you can hitch your faith on is a

G            C
pie in the sky

G               C
chock full of lies

G            C
a tool we devise to make

F              G
sinking stones fly

F          C    
  Still to come

F           C            G       
  the worst part and you know it

F            C    
  there is a numbness

F        C              G
  in you heart and it's growing
