Caring is Creepy
The Shins
Bm A G Em
I think I'll go home and mull this over
D A G (2)
before I cram it down my throat
Bm A G Em
at long last it's crashed, the colossal mass
D A G (2)
has broken up into bits in my moat.
Em
D Em D
Lift the mattress off the floor
Em
D A G
walk the cramps off go meander in the cold
Em
D Em D
Hail to your dark skin, hiding the fact you're dead again
Em
D A G (2)
underneath the power lines seeking shade
G (4)
Far above our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason
Bm A G Em
It's a luscious mix of words and tricks
D A G (2)
that let us bet when you know we should fold
Bm A G
Em
on rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped
D A G (2)
and of the whole mess of roads we're now on.
Em
D Em D
hold your glass up, hold it in
Em
D
A G
never betray the way you've always known it is.
Em
D Em D
one day I'll be wondering how I got so old just wondering how
Em
D A G (2)
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow.
G (4)
this is way beyond my remote concern of being condescending
Bm A G
F#m Em F#m G (2)
all these squawking birds won't quit.
Bm A G
F#m Em F#m
G (4) D (4)
building no-thing, lay-ing bricks.
