Damien Jurado - Working Titles
Some versions suggest this with a capo on 5th.
Yo[C/G]u could mess up my life in a poem
Hav[G]e me divorced by the time of the chorus
Th[Am]ere's no need to change any sentence
Wh[F/C]en you always decide where I go next
Ma[C/G]ny nights you would hide from the audience
Whe[G]n they were not in tune with your progress
In[Am] the end you're a fool like the journalist
Wh[F/C]o turns what you sing into business
Yo[C/G]u could use to be more like a hero
A d[G]arker shade of damage distortion
We[Am]aring death like a cape or a costume
Cu[F/C]t your ties and leave town when you want to
Ki[C/G]lling time 'til I pass through the chamber
Or [G]the room you keep my replacement
so[Am] fed up, still you're starving on paper
Yo[F/C]u're no him, but he's you, only better
Le[C/G]ave me an exit to damage
I c[G]ould use a ledge to jump off of
I [Am]wasn't lying when I said this was over
I [F/C]have questions that lead to more questions
Ru[C/G]nning time that will cut off my fingers
You[G] wrote about me on every new record
An[Am]d I'll show up in a title of your song
I [F/C]only hope somebody requests it
Wh[C/G]at's it like for[G] you in Wash[Am]ington[F/C]
I'[C/G]ve only seen pho[G]tos of Washi[Am]ngton[F/C]
I'[C/G]ll never know
Le[C/G]ave me Manhattan, I want the evergreens
Wri[G]te me a song I can sing in my sleep
As[Am] sure as the rain that will fall where you stand
I [F/C]want you and the skyline, these are my demands
Wh[C/G]at's it like for you in Washington
I'v[G]e only seen photos of Washington
I'[C/G]ll never know
