capo 3
Em7 G/F# Cadd9
I've worn out all of your records
Em7 G/F# Cadd9
I've torn out page after page
Em7 G/F# Cadd9
I have lain with the shadows you threw
Em7
when you danced with the bright colored
G/F# Cadd9
lights of the stage
Em7 G/F# Cadd9
hey and aren't you grateful?
Em7 G/F# Cadd9
say and ain't you got fun?
Em7 G/F# Cadd9
being so good at what you do
Em7 G/F# Cadd9
doing it right in front of everyone
riff G/F# Cadd9/G
everybody knows you
Em7 G/F# Cadd9/G
I want to know you!
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/a/anais_mitchell/namesake_crd_ver_2.html ]
(same as 1st verse and chorus)
how you roll like the rolling waters
you rise like the bright morning stars
you go fast like the freight train going so fast
and I don't even know who you are
but I would not disappoint you
if you let me kiss your mouth
if you let me get to the bottom of you
if you let me find you out
everybody knows you
nobody knows you!
everybody knows you
I want to know you!
Em7 G/F# Cadd9
o, but I, in the name of my namesake
Em7 G/F# Cadd9
am a beautiful fly on the wall of
Em7 G/F# Cadd9
your four-chambered heart-break
Em7 G/F# Cadd9
a spy in the house of your love
