Song : Lenders In The Temple
Album : Conor Oberst
Dm# A#
short delay the parrot blues,
B F#
little voices mimick you,
A# B
it's not so hard to make that sound,
Dm# A#
so watch your back, the Ides of March,
B F#
March, cut your hair like Joan of Arc,
A# B
disguise your will, they'll find you out,
Bb
and when they do...
B C#
look out
--
B C#
there's money lenders inside the temple
B F#
the circus tiger's gonna break your heart
A# B
something so wild turned into paper
Gm# C#
if I loved you, well that's my fault
--
Dm# A#
a bitchin heat, the alpha male,
B F#
not something she'd ever tell,
A# B
except when she got deathly high,
Dm# A#
and out it came like summer rain,
B F#
washed the cars and everything,
A# B
felt clean for just a little while
Bb B C#
a telephone, we drunk dialed
--
B C#
the starving children they ain't got no mother
B F#
there's pink flamingos living in the mall
Am# B
I'd give a fortune to your infomercial
Gm# C#
if just somebody would just take my call
Gm# C#
take my call,
Gm# C#
take my call,
--
F#
hello?
B
patterns in my mind now moving slow
F#
sorrow all across the surface rolls
C#
smoothing out the edges of the stone
Gm#
the lights are out where'd everybody go?
B Bb
hello?
--
Dm# A#
erase yourself and you'll be free
B F#
mendola destroyed by the sea
Am# B
all we are is colored sand
Dm# A#
so pay to ride the ferris wheel
B F# A# B
smile all that you can feel is gratitude for what has been
Bb B C#
cuz it did not happen
--
B C#
there's money lenders inside the temple
B F#
the circus tiger's gonna break your heart
Am# B
something so wild turned into paper
Gm# C#
If you loved me, well that's your fault
B C#
there's money lenders inside the temple
B C#
this crystal city's gonna fall apart
A# B
when all their power turns into vapor,
Gm# C#
If I loved you well that's my fault,
Gm# C#
well that's my fault
Gm# C#
well that's my fault

Enjoy :)
