Turn on Me The Shins
Turn On Me
[C]You can fake it for a while,
Bite your tongue and smile,
Like every mother does an ugly c[G]hild.
But the stars are leakin[C]g out,
Like spittle from a cloud,
Amassed resentment counting ounc[G]e and pound.
You're entertaining any [F]doubt,
Because you had to know [C]that I was fond [G]of you,
[C]Fond of Y-O-U,[F]
Though I knew you masked[C] your disdain.[G]
[F]I can see that c[C]hange was just too hard [G]for us,
[C]Hard for us.[F]
You always had to hold the reigns,
But where I'm headed, yo[F]u [F]ju[F]st[F] d[F]on[F]'t[F] k[F]now the wa[G]y.
[C]So affections fade away,
And do adults just learn to play
The most ridiculous, repulsive g[G]ames?
On the faith of ruddy so[C]ns,
And the double-barreled guns,
You better hurry,
Rabbit, [G]run, run, run.
'Cause meeting you was f[C]un,
And there's a lot of hungry howlers in this one [G]cell.
Weâ??re taking it over,
Their brittle, thorny st[C]ems,
They break before they bend,
And neither one of us is one of [G]them.
And the tails will never[F] mend,
â??Cause you had[C] it in for me so[G] long ago.
[C]Boy, I still don[F]'t know,
I don't know why[C] and I don't car[G]e,
You don't hide m[C]e anymore,[F]
If you'd only se[C]en yourself hati[G]ng me.
[C]Hating me,[F]
When I've been s[C]o much more than[G] fair.
But then you had to lay [F]th[F]os[F]e [F]fe[F]el[F]in[F]gs[F] b[G]are,
One thing I know still g[F]ot[F] y[F]ou[F] s[F]ca[F]re[F]d,[F] [G]
You're a[F]ll that cold iro[G]n,
And neve[F]r once a[C]ired of our dead[G].
INSTRUMENTAL (C-G-C-G
[F]You had to know that I w[C]as fond of you,[G]
[C]Fond of Y-O-U.[F]
So I took your l[C]ips at the time,[G]
[C] [F]
[ABBBBBBBBBB]
And to change like that [C]is just so hard [G]to do,
[C]Hard to do.[F]
Don't let it whi[C]p-crack your lif[G]e,
And bow out from[F] t[F]he[F] f[F]ig[F]ht[F],[F] [F] [G]
â??Cause oh, how[F] y[F]ou[F]r [F]si[F]st[F]ers wi[G]ll write.
The worst part i[F]s [F]ov[F]er[F],[F]
Now, get[C] b[C]ac[C]k on[F] t[F]ha[F]t horse and [G]ride.
