Guitar One
Verse:
(Between the Intro/Chorus and verse, strum Gb for five eighth notes and
rest for three eighth notes)
Gb
We saw the western coast
Cmaj7
I saw the hospital
Ebm
Nursed the shoreline like a wound
Dbm dim
............................
Gb
Reports of lovers’ trysts
Cmaj7
We’re neither clear nor descript
Ebm
We kept it safe and slow
Dbm dim
The quiet things that no one ever knows
Chorus
Gb
Keep the blood in your head
and keep your feet on the ground
Ebm
Today’s the day it gets tired
today’s the day we drop out
Cmaj7
Give up my body in bed
all for an empty hotel
Dbm dim
Wasting words on
lower cases and capitals
Verse two:
Gb
I contemplate the day we wed
Cmaj7
Your friends are boring me to death
Ebm
Your veil is ruined in the rain
Dbm dim
............................
Gb
By then you I could do without
Cmaj7
There’s nothing new to talk about
Ebm
And though our kids are blessed
Dbm dim
Their parents let them shoulder all the blame
Bridge I:
(Strum the chords from the chorus once and let ring)
Bridge II:
(now strum the chords throughout)
Gb
I
Ebm
Lie
Cmaj7
For only
Dbm dim
You
Gb
I
Ebm
Lie
Cmaj7
Well
Cmaj7 Dbm dim
Hallelujah
End on Gb
