AUSTRALIA THE SHINS
G|-----------4--6---|
D|--2--4--6--4------| (x 4)
E C#m F#m
Born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies,
A F#m E
All you want's one more Saturday
C#m
But look here, until then
F#m
They're gonna buy your nice time
A F#m
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
B
To the day.
E
You come in doing cartwheels
B
We all go out by ourselves
E
And your shape on the dance floor
B
Will have me thinking such filth and gouge my eyes.
C#m A (C#m)
You'd be damned to be one of us girl
C#m A
Faced with a dodo's conundrum
E F#m A
Ah, I felt like I could just fly
G#m B
But nothing'll happen every time I try.
Woo ooo, Woo ooo
E C#m F#m
A dual tone under wall, selfish fool and hoped you'd save us all
A F#m E
Never dreamt of such sterile hands,
C#m
You keep them folded in your lap,
F#m
And raise them up to beg for scraps,
A F#m
You know, he's holding you down, With the tips of his fingers
B
just the same
E
You'll be pulled from the ocean,
B
But just a minute too late,
E
Or changed by a potion,
B
We'll find a handsome young mate, For you to love.
C#m A
You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes,
C#m A (E)
You know you'll change your life for any ordinary Joe,
E F#m A
And though your night will go on,
G#m B
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold.
E C#m F#m
A F#m E
E C#m F#m
A F#m E
B
Been in love since you were twenty-one,
E
You haven't laughed since January,
B
You try and make this up this is so much fun,
E
But we know it to be quite contrary.
B
lalalala, la la la la
C#m A
Dare to be one of us, girl,
C#m A
Facing the Andrum's conundrum,
E F#m A
Ah, I feel like I should just cry,
G#m A/B*
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin,
G#m A/B
You're humoring your cote, you don't know how long I've been,
G#m A/B
Watching the lantern dim,
G#m A/B
Starved of oxygen
A F#m E
So give me your hand, and let's jump out the window.
