At The Door

The Strokes


Tom: Gm

Gm  F Gm  F  Bb   Cm


[Verse 1]
  Gm             F
I can't escape it
    Gm                  F              Bb
I'm never gonna make it out of this in time
         Cm
I guess that's just fine
        Gm                   F
I'm not there quite yet
           Gm              F
My thoughts, such a mess
     Bb
Like a little boy
           Cm
What you runnin' for?
   Gm             F
Run at the door
  Gm          F
Anyone home?
       Bb
Have I lost it all?

[Chorus]
                 Cm7
Struck me like a chord
            F7
I'm an ugly boy
                 Bb
Holdin' out the night
              Eb
Lonely after light
                     Cm7
You begged me not to go
                 F7
Sinkin' like a stone
                Bb
Use me like an oar
                     Eb    F
And get yourself to shore

[Verse 2]
   Gm               F
A bang at the door
 Gm           F
Anyone home?
             Bb
That's just what they do
            Cm
Right in front of you
       Gm          F
Like a cannonball
          Gm             F
Slammin' through your wall
          Bb
In their face, I saw
              Cm
What they're fightin' for
    Gm             F
I can't escape it
    Gm                    F       Bb
I'm never gonna make it 'til the end, I guess


[Chorus]
                 Cm7
Struck me like a chord
            F7
I'm an ugly boy
                 Bb
Holdin' out the night
              Eb
Lonely after light
                  Cm7
Bangin' on the door
                F7
I don't want to know
                 Bb
Sinkin' like a stone
                Eb
Use me like an oar


[Bridge]
          Gm                Bb
Hard to fight what I can’t see
    Eb
Not tryna build
    F
No dynasty
        Gm               Bb
I can't see beyond this wall
       Eb
But we lost this game
            F
So many times before

Lying on the cold floor

Waiting for the tide to rise
