Bright Eyes - Southern State
This is the version from the live album Motion Sickness released late 2005.
Well...it's supposed to be...
F
Well the songs you sung spiraled
Am
And hung 'round like echoes
Bb C
Or ripples on a pond
F
So you circled the globe
Am
Spent a year on the road
Bb C
Without ever going home
F
More than a couple of days,
Am
Then you’d leave right away
Bb C
Run to a girl you barely know
F
But you like how she sings
Am
And you can’t help but think
Bb C
That there’s something that she knows and could teach you
Bb C
While you’re sleeping in that southern state
Bb C
Where the bars are filled with people you can’t hate
Bb
But try as you try
C
You still can’t relate to them
Bb C
And you drink that whiskey down
Am
As they ask you,
C F
“Are you who you say you are?”
Bb F
Are you who you say that you are?
Bb C
Are you who you say that you are, you…
Bb F
Are you who you say that you are?
Bb F E Bb
Are you who you say you are?
C
The fact that you can’t tell makes us like you even more
F
So now you’re trying again
Am
Or just visiting friends
Bb C
One had just had his heart broke
F
For the first time in his life
Am
He realized there are times
Bb C
When you can’t make it alone
F
But now you’re giving advice
Am
As if you had the right
Bb C
To use a word like “love”
F
It’s a negotiable term
Am
What gets said’s not what’s heard
Bb C
So it’s different then for everyone
Bb C
But you're still hanging ‘round that college town
Bb C
With your…your new life your new lover you’ve found
Bb C
And you’re keeping her up at night, bringing her down
Bb C
She’ll watch you drink yourself to death
Am
But won’t ask you,
C F
“is this really what you want?”
Bb F
Is this really what you want?
Bb C
Is this really what you is this what...
Bb F
Is this really what you want?
Bb F E Bb
Is this really what you want?
C F, Am
Are you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got?
Bb C F, Am
Are you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got?
Bb
Yeah that’s it, I think you’re sticking with me now
C
Because I’m all you’ve got
F, Am, Bb, C until end over...
go-ot, no...i'm all you go-ot, go-ot no, go-ot no...
ooo, that Conor eh?
