Tom: Am
Am E C
I can hear the slamming of a door
Dm C E
I can see the end of a prank I already fell for
F C Dm
But I don't have to sleep at Belshazar's house anymore
Dm C E7
Gave up the center line
Am E C
I moved out on my own for the first time
Dm C E
A view out on the back of a hotel sign
F C Dm
Got a dozen broken clocks lined up in a line
Dm C E
I got a feeling that people can be awful nice!
[Chorus]
Am E C Dm
Let's speed it up so we can slow back down
F G C E
Kafka on the shore, ah Kafka on the shore!
Am E C Dm F
Rising up for rising down, you're speeding up to slow back down
G C E
Oh Kafka on the shore
[Verse 2]
Am E C
Your spot's reserved inside a buzzard's beak
Dm C E
You're fluent in a language that dies every time you speak
F C Dm
You're fluent in a language that dies every time you speak
Dm C E7
Sticking to the center line
Am E C
My neighbor's always leaving a light on
Dm C E
Is that my best friend's face on a Trinitron?
F C Dm
Everybody says he should get back where he belongs
F C E
We're still good friends! Ah look out friend!
[Chorus]
Am E C Dm
Let's speed it up so we can slow back down
F G C E
Kafka on the shore, ah Kafka on the shore!
Am E C Dm
Rising up so we can rise back down
F G C E7
Oh Kafka on the shore
[Bridge]
C F
Never said it would be
C F
Never said it would be
C F
Never said it would be
Dm C
Everybody wants to see him
Dm C
Everybody wants to see him
Dm C
We're still good friends
E7
Ah look out friend!
[Chorus]
Am E C Dm
Let's speed it up so we can slow back down
F G C E
Kafka on the shore, ah Kafka on the shore!
Am E C Dm
Rising up so we can rise back down
F G C E7
Oh Kafka on the shore
