Kings Crossing Acoustic

Elliott Smith

 AmF
 CGDm
 AmF
 The King's crossing was the main attraction
 CGDm
 Dominoes falling in a chain reaction
 AmF
 The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
 CGDm
 Whiskey works better than beer   
 AmF
 The judge is on vinyl, decisions aren't final
 CGDm
 And nobody gets a reprieve       
 AmF
 And every wave is tidal  
 CGC
 If you hang around you're going to get wet
 AmFCGDm
 I can't prepare for death any more than I already have       

Verse:
 AmF
 All you can do now is watch the shelves
 CGC
The game looks easy, that's why it sells

Chorus:
 CB/Am
 Frustrated fireworks inside your head
 AmF
Are going to stand and deliver dark instead
 CB/Am
 The method acting that pays my bills
 AmF
Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
 CB/Am
 I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity
 AmF
And I get my check from the trash treasury
 CB/Am
 Because I took my own insides out

 AmF
 It don't matter cause I have no sex life
 CGDm
And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife
 Am
 I've seen the movie

 FCGDm
And I know what happen 
 Am
 It's Christmas time
 F
And the needle's on the tree
 CGDm
skinny Santa is bringing something to me
 Am
 His voice is overwhelming
 F
But his speech is slurred
 CGC
And I only understand every other word

 CB/Am
 Open your parachute and grab your gun
 AmF
Float down like an omen, a setting sun
 CB/Am
 Read the part and return at five
 AmF
It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
 C
 But I don't care if I fuck up
 B/Am
 I'm going on a date
 Am
 With a rich white lady
 F
 Ain't life great?
 CB/Am
 Gi'me one good reason not to do it
(Because I love you)
 AmF
 So do it.                

 CGDm
 AmF
 CGDm
 AmF
 This is the place where time reverses
 CGDm
 And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
 AmF
 Instruments shine on a silver tray

 CGC
 Don't let me get carried away    
 CGC
 Don't let me get carried away    
 CGDm
 Don't let me be carried away
