Vampire Weekend – How Long chords

Capo 2nd fret


[Verse 1]
C                   AmTough choice, don't make me laugh
   E                   FMy life's a joke, your life's a gas
    C                 AmYou broke my heart at midnight mass
    E                FNow I'm the ghost of Christmas past
    C               AmThe only choice you gave to me
   E             FIs one I took reluctantly
       C              Am'Cause when we play democracy
    E             FYou always take immunity


[Chorus 1]
C     Am           E           F             C  How long 'til we sink to the bottom of the sea?
    Am        E     FHow long, how long?
C     Am           E             F            C  How long 'til we sink and it's only you and me?
    Am        E     FHow long, how long?

[Verse 2]
C                   AmWhat's the point of getting clean?
       E                 FYou'll wear the same old dirty jeans
C                   AmWhat's the point of being seen?
      E                     FThose eyes are cruel, those eyes are mean
C                   AmWhat's the point of human beings?
  E               FA Sharpie face on tangerines
C                  AmWhy's it felt like Halloween
      E           FSince Christmas 2017?

C                  AmGetting to the top
       E                   FWasn't supposed to be this hard
    C              AmThe house is on Mulholland Drive
    E               FThe car's on Sunset Boulevard
    C              AmThe registration's here with me
    E             FBut neither of us has the key
C                AmWe can live down in the flats
    E                 FThe hills will fall eventually
