SPLIT NEEDLES THE SHINS
Capo 3rd Fret
Intro(x2):
Bm G E G
Bm G D A
Bm G E G
I've done myself an impossible crime
Bm G D A
Had to paint myself a hole and fall inside
Bm G E G
If it's far enough in sight and rhyme
Bm G D A
I get to wear another dress and count in time
G
D E G
Oh, won't you do me the favour, man,
D A G
Of a giving mind,
D E G
A polymorphing opinion here,
D A ( G )
And your vague outline,
Bm G E G
Bm G D A
Bm G E G
I'll find myself another burning gate
Bm G D A
A pretty face, a vague idea I can't relate
Bm G E G
And this is what you get for pulling pins
Bm G D A
Out of the hole inside the hole you're in
G
D E G
It's like I'm pressed on the handle bars
D A G
Of a blind man's bike
D E G
No straws to grab, just the rushing wind
D A G
On the rolling mind
Bm G E G
Bm G D A
(x4)
D A G D
They want you to decide,
A C G
Eventually, it happens,
A G D
Some gather on one side,
A C G
With all their pearly snapping,
A G D
They close the basement door,
A C G
It sets our teeth to chatter,
A G D
You never saw it before,
A
But now that hardly matters,
Bm D
You're old enough, boy,
Bm D
Too many summers you've enjoyed,
Bm D
So spin the wheel, we'll set you up
A
with some odd convictions,
G
Because you're finally golden, boy,
Bm G E G
Bm G D A
G
D E G
It's like I'm pressed on the handle bars
D A G
Of a blind man's bike
D E G
No straws to grab, just the rushing wind
D A G
On the rolling mind
