guitar tabs lyrics
Capo 4th fret
Intro is just E chord, occasionally dropping the pinky on fret 3 of the B string.
A B E
Your great-grandfather was a great lawyer
A B E
And his kid made a mint off the war
A B E
Your father shot stills and then directed films
A B E
That your mom did publicity for
B A
I saw your older sis on the year's best book list
E B
And your brother, he manages bands
A
And you're keen to down play, but you're quick to betray
E B
With one welt and that wave of your hand
E
You come from wealth
Yeah, you got wealth
A B E
What a bitch, they didn't give you much else
B
A B E
I heard cuts by The Kinks on your speakers
A B E
I saw Poe and Artaud on your shelves
A B E
While The Last Laugh's first scene on your flat panel screen
A B E
Lit Chanel that you've wrapped around yourself
B A
You've got outsider art by an artist you arguably
E B
kidnapped to pin on the wall
A
Your designers have slyly directed the eye
E B
down pink lines here and your well lit pawn
E
You've got taste, you've got taste
A B E
What a waste that that's all that you have
B
A B E
Oh, you wrote your thesis on the gospel of Thomas
A B E
You shot some reversal film in Angkor Wat
A B E
And this book you once read said there's less people dead at this point
A B E
now than those who are not
B A
And this film we once saw was reviled for it's flaws
E B
But it's flaws were what made us have fun
B A
And the life some folks had might have made us feel bad
E B
Why feel bad? Man, it's nothing you've done
E
It's all in your hand
It's all in your hand
A B E
Like a gun, like a glove, like a grand
B
Solo over verse progression
B A
And this thing you once said disappeared from my head
E B
In the time that it took to be amazed
B A
And this thing you once did might have dazzled the kids
E B
But the kids once grown up are gonna walk away
A B E
And your world is gonna change nothing
A B E
And your world is gonna change nothing
A B E
And our world is gonna change nothing
A B E
And our world is gonna change nothing
A B E
And our world is gonna change nothing
