The Shins - A Comet Appears

Tabbed by: Sjouke
Capo: None

G   A             D
One hand on this wily comet,
G      A             D
Take a drink just to give me some weight,
G          D
some uber-man I'd make,
    G        A
I'm barely a vapor.

G    A       D
They shone a chlorine light on,
G A           D
A host of individual sins.
G     A        D
Let's carve my aging face off,
A          D
Fetch us a knife, 
A             D
start with my eyes,
A           D
down so the lines
       G         A
form a grimacing smile.

G                  D
Close your eyes to corral a virtue,
G   A            D
Is this fooling anyone else?
 G              D 
Never worked so long and hard
   G                 A
to cement a failure.

G      A           D
We can blow on our thumbs and posture,
G       A              D
but the lonely is such delicate thins,
G               D
the wind from a wasp could blow them,
A        D
into the sea,
     A               D
with stones on their feet,
A           D             G         A
lost to the light and the loving we need,

G        D     G
Still to come,
          D            A       G
the worst part and you know it,
           D    G
there is a numbness
       D              A
in you heart and it's growing.

G                     D
With burnt sage and a forest of bygones,
G          A
I click my heels,
        D
get the devils in line,
G                        D
a list of things I could lay the blame on
      G             A
might give me a way out.

G             A
but with each turn 
          D
it's this front and center,
G      A          D
Like a dart stuck square in you eye,
G                  D
every post you can hitch your faith on,
     A          D
is a pie in the sky
A             D
chock full of lies,
  A       D
a tool we devise
        G              A
to make sinking stones fly,

G        D     G
Still to come,
          D            A       G
the worst part and you know it,
           D    G
there is a numbness
       D              A
in you heart and it's growing.
