September Chords by The Shins

_ _ _ _ _ Into [C] this strange elastic [A] world
_ [C] Pontus kindly gave up [A] a pearl
His [D]
eternal [G] stone and mud
And ain't she [A] lovely, bone and blood
Born [C] of the sea
_ [A] _ _ A [Em] thousand miles away [A] from me
A court [D] of angels, [G] board of the sun
A future _ [D] forming, a curse [A] _ undone _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ Under [A] our softly burning [F#m] land
She [A] takes her time
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] Telling stories of [E] our possible lives
[G] And love is the ink in the well [E] when her body [A]
dries
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ I've been [A] selfish and full [D] of pride
She [A] knows deep down is a little [D] child
But I've got [A] a good side to me [F#m] as well
And it's that [E] she loves in spite [D] of everything _ else
A _ [A] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
_ song [C] in the tree has distracted [A] her mind
Some [C] other curious form of [A] life
Has made [D] its presence [G] to her known
And she coos so gently, [D] soft [A] and low
Her shining [C] face in a million [A]
reflections
And [Em] tiny [G] raindrops that fall [A] in a veil
Over [D] our city like [G] notes from above
And it [G] _ overwhelms me, [D] we just ain't [A] that tall
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
It's not that [A] the darkness can't touch [F#m] our lives
I know it will [A] in time
_ _ [F#m] _
But she's [A] no ordinary _ [E] _
valentine
[G] And now when the sun goes down
She sheds her darling [A] light _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ I've been [A]
selfish and full [D] of pride
But she knows [A] deep down is a little [D] child
And I've got a [A] good side to me [F#m] as well
And it's that she [E]
loves in spite [D] of everything _ _ else
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _
