Nickel Creek - Melvin Is Locking Doors guitar chord

LOCKING DOORS

NICKEL CREEK

I tabbed this off of some TV show that Nickel Creek was on, and there were all

these bits of interviews that were strewn about throughtout the song, so I did

all I could but just couldn’t catch the chorus.

QUOTE:

“Anybody seen the movie ‘As Good As It Gets’? Just to explain, this song that

I wrote is sung in the first person, and unfortunately, the main character in

‘As Good As It Gets’ had some serious issues. He was obsessive compulsive for

one, but in addition to that he was a homophobe and then also didn’t like women

which doesn’t really leave you with anything. So I just wanted to preface this

song so that you would know that the views expressed in this song are not those

of mine or Nickel Creek’s.” ~Chris Thile

INTRO (Am) (E) 2x

(Am) Locking doors, spotless pores

(E) Finding comfort in a total bore

The (Bb7) number four, genealogic lore

(E) Doesn’t feel good unless I’ve felt it before (Am) (E)

The neighbor’s gay, shouldn’t be that way

I’m gonna treat him like a person but not today

When I’m old and gray and he’s dying of AIDS

Guess I’d best better remind him to pray

CHORUS

(Dm) Melvin is (?) locking doors (?) (?)

(?) Makes every (?) thing a (?) chore (?)

Don’t (E) really care no more

Melvin is locking doors (Am) (E)

Locking doors, salting sores

When one wimp winces you’ll win the wars

Show me some gore, man I’m so hardcore

But it doesn’t feel good unless I’ve felt it be-

Doesn’t feel good unless I’ve felt it before

(E) Melvin is (F) lock (E) ing (Am) doors
