verse
[d]
[a]e
the last time before the chorus it changes to
[a]e [-]-
chorus:
4X
[a]e [-]-
2X
e -
"And it was true that I was truly failing."
During the "calling around, but nothing was found" part, Ben simply plays a
D# repeatedly, then a D repeatedly (the keyboard sounds fill the rest of the
chord).
lyrics:
we spread out and occupy the cracks in the urban streets
idle now, i rearrange the furniture as you sleep
it's so appropriate the way we amplify the sound
and then the neighbors drop by and they ask to turn it down again
we spread out and everyone is frightfully more aware
so impressed the cocktail polotics and obscure details
and it was true that i was truly failing
but you were gone and i was home
calling around but nothing was found worthwhile.
