Chords for The Decemberists - Lake Song (Lyric Video)

[G] _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ Down by the lake, _ _ we were overturning pebbles and appending all the animals [D] alive. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ I took a drag _ _ from your cigarette and pinched it between my finger and my thumb to [D] let it die. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] And the _ _ sunburned bow _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ on [D] the radio. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ Say that you will, _ _ say you will or will you won't or you whatever you prevaricate [D] your whole life, don't you?
And _
_ [Bm] _ _ [Em] _ _ this much I can say, would have waited till the oceans fell away and [E] all the sunken cities would [D] reveal themselves to you. _ _ _
_ But [Em] you won't, will you? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ Cause [D] you never do. _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] And the _ _ sunburned through, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ sweet [D] as honeydew.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And [Bm] _ I, _ _ [A] _
seventeen and [G] terminally _ _ _ faint, well [D] I wrote it down and threw it all [Em] away, _ _ _ never gave a thought to what [G] I say. _ _ _ _
_ _ And you, _ _
[D] _ civil-blind, reclining in your [G] _
pew, _ [D] were you tethered, were you tethered, me [Em] to you?
_ _ _ The things you would, the [G] things you would do. _ _ _ _
Tell the truth, [A] I never [D] had a clue. _

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ Now we arrive, _ the curse's young suburban villains and their ill-begotten children from [D] the lawn. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ Come to me [G] now, _ and on [Em] this station wagon window set the ghosts of your two footprints that they [D] might haunt me when you're gone. _
_ And [Em] when the light broke dawn, _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ you [D] were forever gone, _ _ _ _ _ _ but [Em] I remember _ you.
_ _ You were _ thawed, _ _ _ well you were thawed and sweet as [D] honeydew. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] And I, _ _ _ [A] seventeen and terminally [G] faint, _ _ [D] well I wrote it down and threw it all [Em] away, _ _ _ _ never gave a thought to what [G] I say.
And _ _ _ you, _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] civil-blind, reclining [G] in your pew, _ [Em]
were [D] you tethered, were you tethered, [Em] me to you?
_ _ The things you would, the things you would [G] do.
_ _ _ You notice [E] now I never [D] had a clue, _ _ _ _ _ _ never had a clue.
_ _ _ _ _ You fall in sweet as honeydew. _ _ _ _
You fall in sweet as honeydew. _ _
