The Shins – Turn On Me (Ukulele)

D 
You can fake it for a while,

				D
Like every mother does an ugly child.

			D
But the stars are leaking out,

				D
Amassed resentment counting ounce and pound.

			C
You're entertaining any doubt,

			D		D
Because you had to know that I was fond of you,

D		C
Fond of Y-O-U,

			D		D
Though I knew you masked your disdain.

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

D		C
Hard for us.

			C C C C C C C C		D
But where I'm headed, you just don't know the way.

D
So affections fade away,

				D
The most ridiculous, repulsive games?

			D
On the faith of ruddy sons,

	D
Rabbit, run, run, run.

			D
'Cause meeting you was fun,

						D
And there's a lot of hungry howlers in this one cell.

			D
Their brittle, thorny stems,

				D
And neither one of us is one of them.

			C
And the tails will never mend,

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

D		C
Boy, I still don't know,

		D		D
I don't know why and I don't care,

		D		C
You don't hide me anymore,

		D		D
If you'd only seen yourself hating me.

D		C
Hating me,

		D		D
When I've been so much more than fair.

			C C C C C C C C	D
But then you had to lay those feelings bare,

			C C C C C C C C	D	
One thing I know still got you scared,

	C		D
You're all that cold iron,

	C	D		D
And never once aired of our dead.

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

D		C
Fond of Y-O-U.

		D		D
So I took your lips at the time,

D		C
AHHHHHHHHHH

			D		D
And to change like that is just so hard to do,

D		C
Hard to do.

		D		D
Don't let it whip-crack your life,

		C C C C C C C C	D
And bow out from the fight,

		C C C C C C	D
‘Cause oh, how your sisters will write.

		C C C C C
The worst part is over,

	D D D	C C C		D
Now, get back on that horse and ride.
