Bright Eyes - An Attempt to Tip the Scales chords
Start Jamming...
[F#m]
[G]
[A] Did [B] you [D] expect it all to [F#m] stop?
At the [G] wave of your [Am] hand
Like the [D] sun's just gonna [F#m] drop
If [G] it's not you, [Am] dumb man
Well, in [D] the dark we're [F#m] just dead
So [G] the house might [A] dissolve
Once we're [D] gone, who's gonna [F#m] care
If we were [G] ever here [A] at all?
[G] Well, summer's gonna come
It's [A] gonna cloud our [F#m] eyes again
No need to focus [G] when there's nothing that's [A] worth seeing
So we [D] trade liquor [F#m] for blood
[G] In an attempt to tip [A] the scale
I think [D] you lost what [F#m] you loved
In [G] that mess of [A] details
They seemed [F#m] so important at the time
Now [G] you can't even recall
[F#m] Any names, faces, alarms
It's more [G] the feeling [A] of it all
[G] Well, when it's gonna end
[A] I'm gonna clean these veins [F#m] again
So close to [G] dying that I finally can [A] start living
[D] Alright
[F#m] [G] [A]
