The Shins


Tom: F

(capo 3ª casa)

A       E        D           A
Girl inform me all my senses warn me
F#m           C#m        G        D
Your clever eyes could easily disguise
      A        E
Some backwards purpose
     D                  A
It's enough to make me nervous.
    F#m        C#m       D          E
Do you harbor sighs, or spit in my eye
         C
But your lips when we speak
            A                  C                 A
Are the valleys and peaks of a mountain range on fire.
C          Em                            D
So let me walk these coals till you believe
       A           D             A
I can cut the mustard well enough
          F#m                                 E    G
Cause you know as soon as breathe we scrutinize
A           E           D            A
Unknown quotients, you must be using potions
    F#m           C#m        G        D
How else could you tie my head to the sky
     A       E     D            A
This new convection has left me wondering why
F#m           C#m           D        E
I can't concern myself with ordinary tripe.

( E  D#  D )

                 F#m       E            D
Like what's this morning's paper got to say
          F#m      E           D
And which brand of coffee to make
        F#m      E           D         A
This is no umbrella to take into the wind
    D         A               D         A         E
And before we begin is there nothing to kill this anxiety.

But your lips when we speak
        A                      C                 A

          F#m                              E
Cause you know as soon as breathe we scrutinize
      G              A
