Gone For Good  Shins

The Shins - "Gone for Good" (a.k.a. "A Call To Apathy")
from Chutes Too Narrow


Capo 3


[G] Untie me , I've set no bounds
The train is getting way too loud
I've gotta [C] leave here, my girl,
(To) Get on with my [G] lonely life
Just leave the [D] ring on the rail
For the ... ? ... to find(?) [G]


Until this turn in my head
(I'll) let you stay and you'll pay no rent
I've spent twelve long months on the lam
That's enough sitting on the fence
For the fear of breaking down


[G/FAnd go [G] outta my [G/F[Em] You know the [G] sinking stone
That'll [C] never elope(?)
So get [G] used to the [D] lonesome, girl
[G] You must [D] atone some, girl
[G] Leave me no [D] phone number [C] there


la-de-dum etc. [G]
solo


It took me all of a year
To put the poison pill to your ear
But now I stand on - on its ground, on - on its ground


[D] You wanna fight for this love,
But honey you [C] cannot wrestle a dove (?)
So baby it's clear [G] [G/F
You wanna jump and dance
But you sat on your hands
And I'll still ruin you chance
Go back to your hometown
(Put/Get) your feet on the ground
And stop (floating/****ing) around


I find a fatal flaw in the logic of love
And go outta my head
You know the sinking stone
That'll never elope(?)
So get used to the lonesome, girl
You must atone some, girl
Leave me no phone number there


la-de-dum (The sun is way too clear?)


End G
