Chords for Conor Oberst - Things You Know

_ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ [G#m] _ _
[F#] _ _ [C#m] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [G#m] _
_ [F#] _ [C#m] Still and quiet [B] on my bed and [G#m] fighting wars [F#] inside my head [C#m] while counting [B] prints on [G#m] the
ceiling.
[F#] _ _ [C#] Blank and [B] colorless tapestries, the [G#m] voices yell [F#] inside of me and [C#m] I knew [B] then,
paint was [G#m] peeling.
_ [F#] _ [C#m] You say you know [B] this misery, [G#m] well that's no more [F#] than sympathy [C#m] for me.
[B] This time you [G#m] were faking [F#] _ [C#m] your motive, very [B]
questioning, [G#m] this silence is [F#] so deafening.
[C#m] Now look, [B] you see you've got [G#m] me shaking, [F#] _ _ [C#m] screaming, [B] cursing, then you spit [G#m] and saying all [F#] your
worthless shit [C#m] and I, [B] of course, start [G#m] with hearing.
[F#] _ [C#m] I don't know [B] what I think [G#m] but you,
my friend, [F#] don't know anything [C#m] at last.
[B] What makes you not [G#m] worth fearing?
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ And I've _ been
lying [E] _
_ _ _ [B] sitting _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [B] and if you find my garden, could you bring [E] it back?
_ _ [B] Cause I've been [E] lying here for a while
now and I've been dying here [E] for a while now, _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ for [B] a while now.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ [G#m] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [C#m] _ _
[G#m] _ _ _ [F#] _ [C#m] You think of [B] this an untamed [G#m] beast,
then I am [F#] just a [C#m] centerpiece on the table [B] _
[G#m] of your feelings.
[F#] _ [C#m] A funny [B] sort of [G#m] interlude,
it's just that [F#] helpless attitude of mine.
[B]
There's no footprints on your ceiling.
[F#] _ _ Everything [B] slips
through my [G#m] hand, I'm sorry, [F#] I don't understand [C#m] the point.
[B]
You should [G#m] be taking [F#] your [C#m] selflessness,
[B] I must have missed, [G#m] I never knew [F#] this emptiness [C#m] like a child's [B]
been [G#m] forsaken.
[F#] _ _ [C#m] But things [B] you never
would take, [G#m] the toys you [F#] purposely would break [C#m] like a gift, [B] _
[G#m] not with giving.
[F#] _ [C#m] Now I just [B] sit here and stare,
[G#m] never thinking [F#] about how [C#m] unfair it was.
[B] Like a life [G#m] I was living, [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ I've been lying [E] here for a while now,
_ _ [B] sitting, _ [E] I was in exile.
_ _ [B] And if you see my sister, could [F#] you send [E] her home?
_ _ _ [B] _
_ Dying [E] here for a while,
_ _ _ [B] _
_ I'll be [E] dying here in a while now, I'll be dying [B] for a while, _ for a while [E] now, for a while, while, _ for a while, for a while [B] now. _
