The Shins – Turn On Me (Guitar)

C 
You can fake it for a while,

           Am    Asus4        G
Like every mother does an ugly child.

        C         G     C
But it starts to  leaking out,

C
Like spittle from a cloud,

Am   Asus4                       G
Amassed resentment counting ounce and pound.

C       G               F
You're entertaining any doubt,                                       

        C               C               G
Because you had to know that I was fond of you,

C       G   F
Fond of Y-O-U,

F                       C               G
Though I knew you masked your disdain.

C       G    F
(La la la la la)

        C                               G
I can see that change was just too hard for us,

C       G       F
Hard for us.

        C                       G
You always had to hold the reigns,

Dm                                                G
But where I'm headed, you just don't know the way.

C
So affections fade away,

                       G
The most ridiculous, repulsive games?

       C        G     C
On the faith of ruddy suns,

           Am     Asus4  G
You better hurry, Rabbit, run, run, run.

      C       G       C
Cause meeting you was fun,

C                    Am     Asus4          G
And there's a lot of hungry howlers in this one cell. taking it over,

      C        G      C
Their brittle, thorny stems,

                   Am    Asus4 G
And neither one of us is one of them.

        C       G        F
And the tails will never mend,

                C               G
‘Cause you had it in for me so long ago.

C      G     F 
Boy, I still don't know,

                C               G
I don't know why and I don't care,

     C      G  F 
Well hardly anymore

                C               G
If you'd only seen yourself hating mE

C  G   F 
Hating me,

                C               G
When I've been so much more than fair.                      

                   Dm                  G
But then you had to lay those feelings bare,

    Dm                         G
One thing I know still got you scared,

        Dm           Am         
You're all that cold iron,

    Dm         Am         G
And never once aired on a dare

F                       C               G
You had to know that I was fond of you,

C       G   F
Fond of Y-O-U.

                C          G
So I took your lips at the time,

C    G    F
AHHHHHHHHHHaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

                   C               G
And to change like that is just so hard to do,

C       G       F
Hard to do.

                C            G
Don't let it whip-crack your life,

      Dm   Dm/E Dm/F   G        
in a bow out from the fight,

        Dm   Dm/E Dm/F            G              
‘Cause oh, how your sisters will write.

    Dm            Am
The worst part is over,

     Dm          Am             G       
Now, get back on that horse and ride.
