Bats Paul Dempsey
Okay, so this song is standard tuning with a capo on 3rd. The chord names are at
the end of the tab, the Dsus2/F# technically has a 7th in it as well, but
whatever. Hopefully the formatting is preserved, the chord changes are kind of
weird, especially in the chorus. Also, if anyone can improve on the little bit
between the first chorus and second verse, that'd be much appreciated. Enjoy!
[C]come rebuild your [Am]memory with a small [C]mountain of burning [Am]leaves
and a [C]swinging wire door that [Em6]slams shut like a [F]guillotine
[C]strum a note up in the [Am]wires
to send [C]bats down the river, sea[Am]gulls around spires
and [C]shred all the twilight, [Em6]scatter it city-wide
[F]those average [Dsus2/F#]angels
[F]the drunken saints with [Dsus2/F#]heavy heads
they can keep [F]dreaming,
dreaming of [Em]sleep down the [Fm]end of the [C]bed
but [F]nobody's [Em]ever gonna [Fm]break your heart [C]again...
(not 100% on this bit, pick the chords) C F C Am G
[C]and the [Am]high-pitched, crooked thought[C]s
that [Am]ricocheted off the wall[C]s
she just [Em6]set them down quiet, [F]safe in her dresser drawer[C]
she laid [C]me out on the laundromat [Am]floor
and said you'll [C]be not nearly who you [Am]were anymore
and i'll [C]always be here to [Em6]remind you what time is for
[F]and those average [Dsus2/F#]angels
[F]the drunken saints with heavy [Dsus2/F#]heads
[F]you see their spirits are cowering under the [Dsus2/F#]table
[F]and they're still counting,
counting the [Em]breaths [Fm]under their [C]breath
but [F]nobody's [Em]ever.[Fm]..[C]
[F]nobody's [Em]ever gonna [Fm]break your heart again[C]...
