Bright Eyes -- Classic Cars I saw him play this on TV. Capo at 2nd fret intro: G x4 D G She was a real royal lady, true patron of the arts A7 Bm G Said the best country singers die in the back of classic cars D G So if I ever got too hungry for a suitcase or guitar D A7 D To think of them all alone in the dark D G So I laid some nights beside her in a bed made for a queen A7 Bm G She said I kissed her different, that all the men her age were mean D G Gave me anything I wanted, Oh the generosity D A7 D I took all that I could, it was free D G Now the sky is a torn up denim and the clouds just splattered paint A7 Bm G It�s a room I�m renovating; it�s a name I gotta change D G If I get out of California I�m going back to my home state D A7 D To tell them all that I made a mistake G And I keep looking for that blindfold faith A7 Lighting candles to a cynical saint D A7 Bm G Who wants the last laugh at the fly trapped in the windowsill tape A7 You can go right out of your mind trying to escape D A7 Bm G From the panicked paradox of day to day D A7 Bm G If you can�t understand something then it�s best to be afraid D G The whole world it loves you if you�re a chic chameleon A7 Bm G Intersecting circles she could hang with anyone D G But when conducting business she would lie about where she�s from D A7 D Saying, "Life is how it is not how it was" D G I learned to listen felt like I was back at school A7 Bm G She�d talk forever about the phases of the moon D G Saying, "Everything is a cycle, you�ve got to let it come to you D A7 D And when it does, you will know what to do" D G Without even knowing I guess I took up her advice A7 Bm G Painted her front door it seemed a suitable goodbye D G It�s not that often but I think of her sometimes D A7 D Just something quaint, a couple ships in the night G And they keep moving at a glacial pace A7 Turning circles in a memory maze D A7 Bm G I made a new cast of the death mask that�s gonna cover my face A7 I had to change the combination to the safe D A7 Bm G Hide it all behind a wall let people wait A7 D Bm G And never trust a heart that is so bent it can�t break
