The Shins


Bm            F          A                 Bm
A cold and wet November dawn
                 F                 A              Bm
and there are no barking sparrows
         F                        A      
just emptiness to dwell upon.
Bm    F        A               Bm
I fell into a winter slide
                 F                    A                          Bm                         
and ended up the kind of kid who goes down chutes too narrow
        F                             A
just eking out my measly pipe.
     G              D              A            (D)                   G
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
                 D         F         (A)       G
know there is this side of me that
              D            A                   (D)              G
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
            D                 F            A
fly the whole mess into the sea.
Bm         F            A                Bm
Another slow train to the coast
                         F                   A           Bm
some brand new gory art from way on high
  F                                  A
I sink and then I swim all night.
Bm             F           A                Bm
I watch the ice melt on the glass
                F                    A                 Bm 
while the eloquent young pilgrims pass
       F                              C
and leave behind their trail
                                 A
imploring us all not to fail.
G                     D            A         (D)                      G
Of course I was raised to gather courage from those
        D           F           (A)    G
lofty tales so tried and true
              D      A     (D)                      G
if you're able, I'd suggest it 'cause this
             D                          F              A 
modern thought can get the best of you.
Bm             D                         G             F              C        A
This rather simple epitaph can save your hide, your falling mind 
Bm          D                                        G    F               C         A
fate isn't what we're up against there's no design, no flaws to find
           G     F             C         A
there's no design, no flaws to find.
    G               D               A          (D)                  G    
But I learned fast how to keep my head up 'cause I
           D           F        (A)
know I got this side of me that
G            D            A                  (D)              G       
wants to grab the yoke from the pilot and just
           D                 F             A
fly the whole mess into the sea.
