guitar tabs lyrics

Okkervil River

Album : Down the River of Golden Dreams 2003 PlayStop



Tuning - Standard

Key: A

Truly underappreciated song. Sadly, I had to make a tab since there was none. There
instrumental parts between verses, but I omitted that for practical purposes of playing
song by yourself.

A
You can only talk so much about things

D
that are never, ever going to happen.
A
My brother�s at home with his dog and his cat
D E
and his wife is at a friend�s.
A
You can only go on so long about feelings
D
that never, ever actually touch you.
A
No matter how much she told him �I love you,�
D E
he found it would depend
Bm E Esus E
on the gifts that he bought her,
Bm E Esus E
or how badly she was hurt
Bm E Esus E
when the boss was cruel at work.
D E
But he�d just say �I love you,� and he�d reach out to her.


A
He was feeling like shit when I came to visit
D
and walked through the door of his tiny apartment.
A
We went for a walk through the park by the market
D E
so we could get some air.
A
And I told to him all things intended to help him,
D
especially that, simply because it was ending,
A
that that didn�t mean she was always pretending.
D E
Real happiness was there.
Bm E Esus E
I could see and I could tell:
Bm E Esus E
it was real love that they felt.
Bm E Esus E
And I�m sorry it didn�t end well,
D E
but some things just don�t - that�s life, and you shouldn�t blame yourself.

A
And all of these things, well, I truly believe them.
D
Our paths and our futures are hidden in mists
A
that are stretching out over impossible distances,
D E
totally obscured.
A
And I really do think that there�s probably more good
D
than anger or selfishness, sickness, or sadness
A
would ever completely allow us to have in this
D E
life, I think I�m sure.
Bm E Esus E
But that doesn�t mean it�s bad.
Bm E Esus E
We were walking towards our dad,
Bm E Esus E
while getting out of that school bus,
D E A
and he just said �I love you,� and he reached out to us
