I Was a Kaleidoscope

(Acoustic Version)

Death Cab for Cutie

Intro: / A - - - / D – Asus2 - / E – Esus4 - / D - - - / (x2)

A D Asus2

I put on my overcoat and

E Esus4 D

walked into winter - my teeth chattered rhythms

A D Asus2

And they were grouped in twos or threes, like a

E Esus4 D

F#5 Dm/maj7

I got left there, too.
