Matt Nathanson - Mission Bells Chords & Tabs

Mission Bells by Matt Nathanson

Standard Tuning
Capo on 4

I palm mute the verses and fully strum the chorus, with single strums during the 
bridge. Whatever works, I guess.

Em      G6        Cmaj7
I had a dream you died,
                   Em      G6    Cmaj7
and I just want to be with you tonight
                   Em
Mission bells were ringing
  G6       Cmaj7
somewhere higher,
          Em      G6 Cmaj7
I let you get away
          Em      G6 Cmaj7
I let you get away


             Em          G6
What kind of man misunderstands
             Cmaj7
a woman like you,
Em          G6        Cmaj7
sees her in black and white?
     Em       G6                          Cmaj7
It's 5 AM and phone book says that you're not alone
       Em        G6        Cmaj7
in the cold gray morning light


    Em   G6         Cmaj7
The only one that's left to trust,
   Em        G6         Cmaj7
my faithless heart that wasted us.

                   G
Mission bells were ringing
  Cadd9     Em7   
somewhere higher,
          G       Cadd9 Em7
I let you get away
          G       Cadd9 Em7
I let you get away

Em                       G6
What kind of fool thinks love's a prison 
     Cmaj7
or a handicap,
Em   G6       Cmaj7
only says goodbye?
Em                  G6               Cmaj7
Sinking fast in the rocky waters off Alcatraz,
    Em          G6 Cmaj7
his friends say suicide

    Em   G6         Cmaj7
The only one that's left to trust,
   Em        G6         Cmaj7
my faithless heart that wasted us.

Mission bells were ringing
  Cadd9     Em7   
somewhere higher,
          G       Cadd9 Em7
I let you get away
          G       Cadd9 Em7
I let you get away


        Em                 G6
I'm the end of a Hitchcock movie
         Cmaj7
a little dark and a lot confusing
        Em                G6
I'm the last of the worst pretenders
   Cmaj7
so lost, so lost in love
        Em                 G6
I'm the end of a Hitchcock movie
         Cmaj7
a little dark and a lot confusing
        Em                G6
I'm the last of the worst pretenders
   Cmaj7
so lost, so lost in love


G       Cadd9     Em7
I had a dream you died,
                   G       Cadd9  Em7
and I just want to be with you tonight
                   G
Mission bells were ringing
  Cadd9     Em7   
somewhere higher,
          G       Cadd9 Em7
I let you get away
          G       Cadd9 Em7
I let you get away
