guitar tabs lyrics

Okkervil River

G D Em C
Maybe we could break your ankle, clean and unsuspiciously.
G D
An ER trip, a doctor�s slip,
Em C G Am
and you could share your pills with me.
C G D G
Won�t it feel so good, though, when we�re lying,
C G D
side by side, can�t move, and I�m not trying?

Em G C
2000 milligrams each.

G D Em C
A hotel by the pharmacy with drinking straws in toothpaste tubes.
G D Em C G Am
Stash them with your toiletries and I will share my pills with you.
C G D G
Little Michael sleeping in the child safety seat,
C G D
lying with the windows rolled up, in the August heat.


Em G C
3000 milligrams each,
Em G C
4000 milligrams.


G D
We�re driving down the interstate,
Em C
you�re feeling great, you scratch your wrist,
G D Em C G Am
and we pretend your kids, your husband, all you left does not exist.
C G D G
And in some motel that night we�re lying,
C G D
I can barely whisper �it�s like dying.


Em G C
Baby, do you know what I mean?
Em G C
Well baby, did you hear me?
Em G C
Well baby, you fell asleep.�


G D Em C
I know I�m weak, I won't deny we�ll see our trial sometime soon.
G D
But when i know we�re fucked,
Em C G Am
I�ll halve the pile and share my pills with you.
C G
Cause we�ve felt fully in our bodies,
Am F
and we�ve felt totally alive,
C G
so we�re prepared to float above this
Am F C Dm
dirty bed where we both lie.
F C Dm F C
Where we lie, lie, lie. Will we be fine?
F Em C
Not this time.
