Bright Eyes - At the Bottom Of Everything chords
Start Jamming...
So there was this woman and she was on an airplane and she was flying to meet her fiancé
sailing high above the largest ocean on planet earth and she was seated next to this man
who she had tried to start conversations and really the only thing she had heard him say
was just to order his bloody Mary.
And she was sitting there and she was reading this really arduous magazine article about
a third world country that she couldn't even pronounce the name of and she was feeling
very bored and very despondent and then
[Ab] suddenly there was this huge mechanical failure and
one of the engines gave out and they started just falling 30,000 feet, the pilots on [G] the
microphone and he's saying I'm sorry, I'm sorry, oh my God, I'm sorry, I'm apologizing
and she looks at the man and she says, she says, where are we going?
And he looks at her and he says we're going to a party, it's a birthday party, it's your
birthday party, [D] happy birthday darling, we love you very, very, very, very, very, very,
very much and then he starts humming this little tune and it kind of goes like this,
[E] one, two, one, two, [C] three, four.
[F]
We must talk in every [F] telephone, get eaten [C] off the web, we must rip out all the [F] epilogues
from the books that [G] we have read, [C] into the face of every criminal, [F] strapped firmly to
a chair, we [C] must stare, we [G] must stare, we [C] must stare, we must take all of the medicines
[F] too expensive now [C] to sell, set fire to the preacher who [F] is promising [G] us hell, [C] into the
ear of every anarchist [F] that sleeps but doesn't dream, we [C] must sing, we [G] must sing, we [C] must
sing, and it'll go like this, alright.
[F] While my mother [G] waters plants, my [C] father loads [F] his gun, says death will give [G] us back
to God, [Am] just like the setting [F] sun, [G] it's returned to the lonesome ocean, [C] [F]
[C] and then they splashed
into the deep blue sea, [F] [C]
[F] oh it was a [G] wonderful splash, [C] [F]
[C] [G] [C]
we must blend into the choir, [F] sing
a static [C] with the whole, must memorize nine numbers [F] and deny we [G] have a soul, [C] into this
endless race for property [F] and privilege to be won, [C] we must run, we must run, we must
run, we must hang up in the belfry [F] where the bats and [C] moonlight laugh, we must stare into
a crystal [F] ball and only [G] see the past, [C] into the caverns of tomorrow with [F] just our flashlights
and our love, [C] we must plunge, we must plunge, we must plunge, and then we'll get down there,
way down to the very bottom of everything, and then we'll see it, oh we'll see it, we'll
see it, we'll [F] see it, oh my [G] morning's coming back, [C] the whole world's waking [F] up, all the
city buses [G] swimming past, [Am] I'm happy just [F] because [G] I found out I'm really no [C] one.
