Kings Crossing

Elliott Smith
 F#mD
 The king's crossing was the main attraction
 AEBm
 Dominoes are falling in a chain reaction
 F#mD
 The scraping subject ruled by fear
 AEBm
 Told me whiskey works better than beer
 F#mD
 The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
 AEBm
 And nobody gets a reprieve
 F#mD
 And every wave is tidal  
 AEBm
 If you hang around, you're going to get wet
 F#mDAEBm
 I can't prepare for death any more than I already have           
 F#mD
 All you can do now is watch the shells
 AEBm
 The game looks easy, that's why it sells

 AF#m
 Frustrated fireworks inside your head
 F#mD
 Are going to stand and deliver talk instead
 AF#m
 The method acting that pays my bills
 F#mD
 Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
 AF#m
 I got a heavy metal mouth that hurls obscenity
 F#mD
 And I get my check from the trash treasury
 AF#m
 Because I took my own insides out

 F#mD
 It don't matter 'cos I have no sex life
 AEBm
 And all I want to do now is inject my ex-wife
 F#mDAEBm
 I've seen the movie and I know what happens              
 F#mD
 It's Christmas time and the needles on the tree
 AEBm
 A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
 F#mD
 His voice is overwhelming but his speech is slurred
 AEBm
 And I only understand every other word

 AF#m
 Open your parachute and grab your gun
 F#mD
 Falling down like an omen, a setting sun
 AF#m
 Read the part and return at five
 F#mD
 It's a Hell of a role if you can keep it alive
 AF#m
 But I don't care if I fuck up, I'm going on a date
 F#mD
 With a rich white lady, ain't life great?
 AF#m
 Give me one good reason not to do it (Because we love you)
 F#mD
 So do it 

 AEBm
 F#mD
 This is the place where time reverses
 AEBm
 Dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
 F#mD
 Instruments shine on a silver tray
 AEA
 Don't let me get carried away    
 AEA
 Don't let me get carried away    
 AEBm
 Don't let me get carried away.
