The Weakerthans – Aside (Ukulele Intro Tab)

F
Measure me in metered lines

    Am
And one decisive stare

    C                                 Bb
The time it takes to get from here to there

   F
My ribs that show through t-shirts

          Am
And these shoes I got for free

    C
I'm unconsoled

    Bb
I'm lonely, I am

C                Bb             Am  G
So much better than I used to be

F
Terrified of telephones

    Am
And shopping malls and knives

C                              Bb
Drowning in the pools of other lives

  F
Rely a bit too heavily

   Am
On alcohol and irony

    C
Get clobbered on

   Bb
By courtesy

    C                 Bb           Am    G
In love with love and lousy poetry

        F               Bb
And I'm leaning on this broken fence

        Dm               Bb
Between past and present tense

        F                Bb
And I'm losing all those stupid games

       Dm              Bb
That I swore I'd never play

       Dm     C     F      C Bb F C Bb
But it almost feels okay

Am                     C
   Circumnavigate this body

   Dm         C        Bb
Of wonder and uncertainty

Am                           C
   Armed with every precious failure

    Dm      C       Bb
And amateur cartography

  C                     Bb                  Am  G
I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor

N.C.    F               Bb
And I'm leaning on this broken fence

        Dm               Bb
Between past and present tense

        F                Bb
And I'm losing all those stupid games

       Dm              Bb
That I swore I'd never play

       Dm     C
But it feels okay

        F       C        Bb
And I'm leaving with goodbye

        F   C           Bb
And I'm losing but I'll try

         Dm        C
With the last ways left

     Dm      C
To remember sing

     Dm      C    F
My imperfect offering
