Girl Sailor Chords by The Shins

_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[A] _ The government [E] _ _ professes [A] love, then follow [C#m] it with _ hesitation.
[A] _ But there are [C#m] just so many of [E] you out there for rent. _ _ _
[A] _ A stronger [E] girl would take this off in [A] flight, and never give [C#m] it more than a frowning [A] hour.
But you have [C#m] let your heart decide, [E] loss has conquered you. _ _ _
[D] _ _ You've [E] won one too many [D] fights, wearing [E] many hats every [D] time.
_ But [E] you won't win here [A] tonight. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ You made it [E] through the direst of straits [A] alright.
Can you help that a [C#m] plain love now seems less [A] interesting?
You haven't [C#m] changed an ounce in my [E] eyes, and I cannot lecture you. _ _ _
[A] _ Does anything [E] I say seem relevant [A] at all?
You've been at [C#m] the helm since we're just [A] five.
Why I can't [C#m] acclaim to be more than [E] a passenger. _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ But [E] you've won one too [D] many fights, wearing [E] all eight clothes at [D] the same time.
Let [E] the good times end [F#m] tonight.
Oh [G] girl, say that [D] you're not sinking _ [E] this time. _ _

[C#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ Just [G] a moment or two from [F#m] now, not [G] a mind will retain [F#m] even a trace
of [G] the thoughts that have struggled [D] to tap, and [E] how our stack of cards just [A] fell.
So settle this [E] one time for [A] all the light no longer [C#m] shows the cracks around my door.
[A] _ And I have [C#] no lantern to light your [E] way home tonight. _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ You [E] are not some saint who's [D] above, giving [E] someone to stroll through [D] the flowers.
You've got [E] so much more to [F#m] dream of.
Oh [G] girl, say that [D] you're not sinking _ [E] this time. _ _ _ _
This time. _ _ _ _ _
This time. _ _ _ _ _ _
