The Strums: by the Dodos
Intro:(C, F, Am, Dm)x2
[C]The image on the [F]board
Selling [Am]things we can't a[Dm]fford
But we're [C]still buying up in a [F]frenzy
Cause our [Am]hearts just yearn for [Dm]more
Is this [G]sin, all he want?
Is [C]offerings we [Am]got?
But [G]soon you'll be [C]overrating [Dm]eyes
Oh [G]people they can't be good
When what comes [C]next on the market [Am]should
But we go [Bb]on because its understood[C]
But you can only [Dm]hope, when they say that they [Am]want you
[Dm]Yeah, they'll say that they [Am]want you, when they [G]don't
It's like a [C]chandelier[F]
It's like a [Am]fountain head[Dm]
The strings are all [C]there[F]
A chain link [Am]fence to convince you[Dm]
That you're never [C]aware[F]
For things that which you [Am]spare[Dm]
Are at cause [C]they don't [F]care about yo[Am]u[Dm]
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_dodos/the_strums_crd.html )
Don't[G] care of what you've done
You're [C]fooled by every[Am]one
But [G]soon you'll go [C]get your daddy's [Dm]gun
And [G]go out to recollect
From all the [C]guards that you put in [Am]debt
It's time you[Bb] learn that you cannot change (can't hide shame/change)
But you for[C]get
But you will always [Dm]think when they say that they [Am]want you,
[Dm]When they say that they [Am]want you, that they do[G]n't
(C, F, Am, Dm)x2 (G, C, Am)x3 (Bb, C)
[F]You wait but somedays never [Bb]come
Your prophesying here is [Gm]done
You're only left with what you [C]beg
[F]In toward you can, begone your [Bb]way
The others wait till they're [Gm]okay
They're only left with what they [C]beg, [F]beg, [Am]beg[Dm]
So [C]children kill your [F]teachers
Kill your [Am]parents, then kill your [Dm]preachers
Because you [C]know, that they'll only will [F]doubt you
When they [Am]start to lose their [Dm]features
Its [G]okay that there gone
Torturing [C]you is all they [Am]want
And lesson [Bb]learned, now lesson taught
You just [Bb]know what they forgot
Cause they [Bb]didn't get to find out what you [C]sought
