Chords

[Verse 1]
A                      D
Foals in winter coats

                    Bm
White girls of the North

G                D
File past; one, five, and one

              D
They are the fabled lambs

    E
Of Sunday ham

     Bm
The EHS norm
[Verse 2]
                 A                   D
And they could float above the grass

                  A
In circles if they tried

   G               D
A latent power I know they hide

              D
To keep some hope alive

        E
That a girl like I

      Bm
Could ever try

            A
Could ever try
[Chorus 1]
   F#m       D                 E
So we just skirt the hallway sides

                F#m
A phantom and a fly

 F#         D
Follow the lines

                E
And wonder why

E
  There's no connection
[Verse 3]
   A                   D
A week of rolling eyes

                           Bm
And cheap shots from the tribe

           G                D
And we're off to Nemarca's porch again

        D
Another afternoon

        E
Of the goat-head tunes

     Bm
And pilfered booze

             A                      D
We wander through her Momma's house

                   A
The milk from the window lights

        G               D
Family portrait, circa '95

              D
This is that foreign land

             E
With the sprayed-on tans

       Bm
And it all feels fine

                A
Be it silk or slime
[Chorus 2]
F#m            D              E
So, when they tap our Monday heads

                           F#m
Two zombies walk in our stead

F#               D                    E
This town seems hardly worth our time

     F#m       D                  E
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme

                    F#m
Too far along in our crime

         F#             D                E
Stepping over what now towers to the sky

E
  With no connection
[Bridge]
A      D      E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh

A      D      E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh, ohh

A      D      E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh

A      D      E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh, ohh
[Chorus 3]
F#m            D              E
So, when they tap our Sunday heads

                         F#m
Two zombie walk in our stead

F#               D                     E
This town seems hardly worth our time

     F#m       D                  E
And we'll no longer memorize or rhyme

                    F#m
Too far along in our crime

         F#             D                E
Stepping over what now towers to the sky

E
  With no connection
[Outro]
A      D      E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh

A      D      E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh, ohh

A      D      E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh

A      D      E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh, ohh

A      D      E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh

A      D      E
Oh, oh-oh, oh-ohh, ohh
