Pressed in a Book - The Shins
Thought I'd tab my version of this song as I'm 99.99% sure that it's 100% correct haha.
The other tabs for this songs on this site are pretty darn accurate too I just think
there's 1 or 2
chords out of place.
Tuning Standard E

[A] Doted on like [E2]seeds planted in [C]rows
The [G]untied shoe[D2]laces of your[A] life
Nurtured all year[C#m] then pressed in a book[E2]
Or dis[D]played in [C#m]bad taste at the t[A]able
Problems arise[E] and you fan the fire[G]
While there's a wild pack[D] of dogs loose in your hou[A]se tonight.
Cut from bad[C#m] cloth or soiled like s[C]ocks
Add it up and basic[D]ally people never chan[C2]ge.
They just talk and make [G5]plans in the [D1]dark
Or make h[C2]aste with ideas that can't h[G5]elp
But creep good peo[D1]ple out[C2]
As you talk to me [G5]too m[D1]uch you're assumi[C2]ng
G5 D1 E2 x3 counts then C#m x1 count.
We don't always want what's right.
[A] Did I strike the [E2]right set of chords? you're annoyed[C].
The [G]goal is to ig[D2]nite you then m[A]ove on.
You feel ill at ease[C#m]. you got no squee[E2]ze.
And the wise c[D]racks won't make [C#m]you more stable[A].
You've learned your lines to[E2] scale and to time.[G]
Why must I re[D2]mind you now i'm only less [A]able.
Cut from bad[C#m] cloth or soiled like [C]socks
We're ordinary people w[D]e can't help but to change[C2]
As we walk and make [G5]plans in the [D1]dark
Or make hast[C2]e with the boy who can't help[G5]
But creep good peo[D1]ple out.[C2]
As you talk to me [G5]too m[D1]uch you're assumin[C2]g
G5 D1 E2 x3 counts then C#m x1 count.
We don't always want what's right.
[A] Two fallen [E2]saplings in an open fi[G]eld.
Snow padding g[D]ently on an empty ben[A]ch.
An old woman's jewelr[E2]y lying unadorned.[G]
Cold nesting robins a[D]llied for the first ti[A]me.
I know when you hear t[E2]hese sappy lines[G]
You'll roll your eyes and[D] say "nice try".[C2]
