Chords

Artist: The Shins Song: Saint Simon Album: Chutes to Narrow Chords by: Zak Lommen As Always i reccomend that you listen to the song as you play it for the first time to get the strumming down. sounds more accurate than just open. You choose. VERSE 1:
      Am        E              G                 
After all these implements and texts designed by 

D                C                D
intellects we're vexed to find evidently there's

      G
still so much that hides.

    Am         E               G              
And though the saints dub us divine in ancient 

D                  C            D
fading lines their sentiment is just as hard to 

G
pluck from the vine.
CHORUS:
F                       D
I'll try hard not to pretend 

F                      D          E
allow myself no mock defense as I 
step into the night. VERSE 2:
Am    E                G                D
Since I don't have the time nor mind to figure 

        C                   D                
out the nursery rhymes that helped us out in 

       G
making sense of our lives

Am            E                G        D   
The cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me

  C              D                 G
I value them but I won't cry every time one's 
wiped out. CHORUS:
F                         D
I'll try hard not to give in 

F                       D         E
batten down to fare the wind 

F                      D
rid my head of this pretense 

F                      D           E
allow myself no mock defense as I 
step into the night Am E C D E

C                G
Mercy's eyes are blue and 

Dm          F   G
when she places them in 

C        G
front of you 

Dm      F       G 
nothing holds a roman 

C      G
candle to 

Dm         F          G
