The Shins - A Comet Appears
Tabbed by: Sjouke
Capo: None
G A D
One hand on this wily comet,
G A D
Take a drink just to give me some weight,
G D
some uber-man I'd make,
G A
I'm barely a vapor.
G A D
They shone a chlorine light on,
G A D
A host of individual sins.
G A D
Let's carve my aging face off,
A D
Fetch us a knife,
A D
start with my eyes,
A D
down so the lines
G A
form a grimacing smile.
G D
Close your eyes to corral a virtue,
G A D
Is this fooling anyone else?
G D
Never worked so long and hard
G A
to cement a failure.
G A D
We can blow on our thumbs and posture,
G A D
but the lonely is such delicate thins,
G D
the wind from a wasp could blow them,
A D
into the sea,
A D
with stones on their feet,
A D G A
lost to the light and the loving we need,
G D G
Still to come,
D A G
the worst part and you know it,
D G
there is a numbness
D A
in you heart and it's growing.
G D
With burnt sage and a forest of bygones,
G A
I click my heels,
D
get the devils in line,
G D
a list of things I could lay the blame on
G A
might give me a way out.
G A
but with each turn
D
it's this front and center,
G A D
Like a dart stuck square in you eye,
G D
every post you can hitch your faith on,
A D
is a pie in the sky
A D
chock full of lies,
A D
a tool we devise
G A
to make sinking stones fly,
G D G
Still to come,
D A G
the worst part and you know it,
D G
there is a numbness
D A
in you heart and it's growing.
