Album: The Suburbs
I am filling in the rest. I have not seen this closely enough at the show to say
for sure, but you need either 2 guitars or a guitar and piano.
Since there are already lyrical accompaniment versions, I am providing the basic
order/song structure.
Guitar 1 - Capo 2
Guitar 2 - No capo
Intro: C Am E G
*Verse 1
-------
C Am E G
In the suburbs I, I learned to drive
C Am E G
And you told me weÂ’d never survive, grab your motherÂ’s keys weÂ’re leaving
C Am E G
C Am E G
You always seemed so sure, That one day weÂ’d be fighting
C Am E G
In a suburban war, your part of town against mine
C Am E G
I saw you standing on the opposite shore, but by the time the first bombs fell
C Am E G
We were already bored, We were already, already bored
*Chorus 1
--------
Play it like this if you wish to remain at capo 2
C Am E D
Sometimes I canÂ’t believe it, IÂ’m moving past the feeling
C Am E D C Am E G
Sometimes I canÂ’t believe it, IÂ’m moving past the feeling again
*Chorus 1 Alternate
Guitar 2 / Piano - No capo (sounds correct)
--------------------------
A Bm F# E
Sometimes I canÂ’t believe it, IÂ’m moving past the feeling
A Bm F# E A Bm F# E
Sometimes I canÂ’t believe it, IÂ’m moving past the feeling again
