Fall of '82- The Shins
Verse 1:
[D]I do [C#m]relate to you in [G]so many [A]ways
[D]But I didn't go [A]through what you must [E]have in those early[A] days
[D]You had to be [A]strong at such a [E]very young [A]age
A new [D]life on [E]Ilima L[A]ane
Chorus:
So won't you [D]listen to me [C]now
[A]some[D]thing I never [A]told you
And [G]I'm about to [D]try
See you were my [C]lifeline when the world was [E]exploding
Same as verse 1:
You moved back in with us in the fall of '82
I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through
You told me that a downturn would eventually improve
And you were right, so I'm thanking you
Same as Chorus:
So won't you listen to me now
Something I never told you
And I'm about to try
See you were my lifeline when the world was [E]explod[A]ing
[A]Footholds [E]erod[A]ing
Had you [D]never [A]been my [E]friend
[D]I wouldn't [A]be [D]quite what you [A]see
[D]I wouldn't [A]be the man I [E]am
Trumpet Solo
[A]Sister you've [D]known me
Lost in a [A]strange world
What has it [D]shown me
What has it gone [A]through
Sister you've k[D]nown me
Been lost in a [A]strange world
But has it [D]shown me
What has it gone [A]through
Same as Verses 1 and 2:
October chill in that old dusty town
Halloween came, I was still feeling down
Mama, lost my sweet tooth, what's the point in going 'round?
Your boy is losing count
Maybe try the lost and found
