Chords

One of the best songs by The Weakerthans. I'm suprised it hasn't been tabbed yet. It's amazing song with 2 guitars, but still great with only 1. I worked hard on this and I it's pretty accurate, so please rate it. :) ____________________________________________________________________________
A5                       E5
I count to three and grin.

                       F#5
You smile and let me in.

                       D5                    A5
We sit and watch the wall you painted purple.

                       E5
Speech will spill on space.

                       F#5
Our little cups of grace.

                  D5                         F#5
But pauses rattle on about the way that you cut the snow-fence,

G#5
braved the blood,

      A5              D5              F#5            G#5              A5
the metal of those hearts that you always end up pressing your tongue to.

          F#5           G#5               A5          D5
How your body still remembers things you told it to forget.

          F#5           G#5               A5
How those furious affections followed you.

A5                          E5                 F#5
I've got this store-bought way of saying I'm okay,

                        D5                  A5
and you learned how to cry in total silence.

                     E5
We're talented and bright.

                    F#5
We're lonely and uptight.

                          D5
We've found some lovely ways to disappoint,

          F#5              G#5         A5               D5
but the airport's always almost empty this time of the year,

          F#5              G#5         A5
so let's go play on a baggage carousel.

F#5                G#5               A5           D5
Set our watches forward like we're just arriving here

F#5                        G#5                A5
from a past we left in a place we knew too well.
Knew too well. [REPEAT BREAK] Knew too well. [BREAK 2]: A5 C#5 B5 C#5 E5(x799xx) D5 slide D5 slide C#5 slide A5
 PREVIOUS A5 RINGS  E5
Hold on to the corners of today,

           F#5                            D5
and we'll fold it up to save until it's needed.

A5                  E5                               F#5
Stand still. Let me scrub that brackish line that you got

                                D5
when something rose and then receded.
Hold on. [OUTRO]: A5 E5 F#5 C5 A5
