A great Shins song, not very difficult though. Listen to it to get the timing and the stroke patterns right. Have fun, CesareBorgio
Bm                           G
You slide out at night to show yourself

                     E
you mean to hang yourself on the wall

              F#               Bm
with the hems you call your friends.

                                  G
You've memorized a thousand lines and

             E
kissed a thousand guys but none packed

                                         F#  
more than wood.

G                    D                                        
And still you wake up, the taste of the 

C                         G       A               G
night before has grown somehow. 

                        D
You memorized your makeup, you're free from

their eyes and all they laugh about.

Bm                              G
Sailboats that never float and lids of lead

                E
that hold your ego down. What's it take

    F#     Bm                    G
to bend the lens? Well as you can see I 

          E                   F#      D
really know but never can amend the trend

               A                        G
towards the rocks wielding the knives

                                        D
beneath your breast and all the the waves

             A            G
that never break within our sight. So come on

          A
treat me right.

G               D
If you could keep him you'd dub him

        C                           G         A      G
"The rock what aced 'em two to one" 

                              D
but the powder from your empty boxes

       C                                G        A        G
was ground from your whole empty youth.

               D                        
And so you wake up, the taste of the 

C                  G        A               G
night before has grown somehow. 

                      D
You take off your makeup, and you're free

from their eyes and all they laugh about.
