Turn on Me The Shins
You can fake it for a while,
Bite your tongue and smile,
Like every [am]mother[Amsus4] does an ugly [G]child.
But it s[C]tarts to [G]leakin[C]g out,
[C]Like spittle from a cloud,
[G]
[am]Amass[amsus4]ed resentment counting ounce and pound.
CHORUS
[C]You're e[G]ntertaining any [F]doubt,
Because [C]you had to know [C]that I was fond [G]of you,
[C]Fond of [G]Y-O-[F]U,
[F]Though I knew you masked[C] your disdain.[G]
[C](La la l[G]a la [F]la)
I can se[C]e that change was just too hard [G]for us,
[C]Hard for[G] us.[F]
You alwa[C]ys had to hold the reign[G]s,
[Dm]But where I'm headed, you just don't know the way.[G]
VERSE 2
[C]So affections fade away,
And do adults just learn to play
The most ridiculous, re[G]pulsive games?
On the [C]faith of [G]ruddy [C]suns,
And the double-barreled guns,
am amSUS4 G
You better hurry, Rabbit, run, run, run.
Cause [C]meeting [G]you was [C]fun,
C am amSUS4 G
And there's a lot of hungry howlers in this one cell. taking it over,
Their [C]brittle, [G]thorny [C]stems,
They break before they bend,
am amSUS4 G
And neither one of us is one of them.
chorus 2
And the [C]tails wi[G]ll never [F]mend,
‘Cause you had i[C]t in for me so l[G]ong ago.
[C]Boy, I [G]still [F]don't know,
I don't know why[C] and I don't car[G]e,
Well [C]hardly [G]any[F]more
If you'd only se[C]en yourself hati[G]ng mE
[C]Hat[G]ing [F]me,
When I've been s[C]o much more than[G] fair.
But then you had to[Dm] lay those feelings [G]bare,
One [Dm]thing I know still got you [G]scared,
You're a[Dm]ll that cold [am]iron,
And [Dm]never once [am]aired on a [G]dare
INSTRUMENTAL (18bars copy verse)
Chorus
[F]You had to know that I w[C]as fond of you,[G]
[C]Fond of [G]Y-O-[F]U.
So I took your l[C]ips at the [G]time,
[C] [G] [F]
[ABBBBBBBBBBaaaaaaaaaaaaaa]
And to change like [C]that is just so [G]hard to do,
[C]Hard to [G]do.[F]
Don't let it whi[C]p-crack your [G]life,
Dm Dm/e Dm/F G
in a bow out from the fight,
Dm Dm/e Dm/F G
‘Cause oh, how your sisters will write.
The [Dm]worst part is [am]over,
Now, [Dm]get back on [am]that horse and [G]ride.
