No Capo
Bright Eyes
Cartoon Blues
Intro: Asus2, Bb/Bbsus2, Em
Em
I listen to a lecture of nonsense till dawn
Bm
By a plagiary poet with dark glasses on
Am
He said "how did you ever dream up that song?
Bm B Em
The one where the baby dies."
Em
I said "I'll tell you the secret which one's your good ear?
Bm
Yeah, people are made up of water and fear
Am
If there weren't women present we wouldn't be here
Bm B Em
So lets make like we're friends"
Em
And the pot turned to powder and soured the mood
Bm
And the people I'd come with were gone from the room
Am
So I asked like a child "may I be excused?"
Bm B Em
And disobeyed them all
Em
Into that late night latrine rain soaking through my shoes
Bm
I tried walking backwards to get less confused
Am
Working off a theory I could never prove
Bm B Em
That it was life itself to blame
Am Em
And time ruined the world
Am Em
Like a failed revolution
Am Em
A tumor we could not remove
Csus2 Bm Em
An old friend, a constant, the blues
Em, Asus2, Bb/Bbsus2 x2
Em
Now my days are distractions, sit wringing my hands
Bm
Solitaire, crosswords, and films on demand
Am
When you turn from a cartoon back into a man
Bm B Em
You start to smell that human smell
Em
And so I sleep with the fan on to drown out the street
Bm
And the noise rising up from the bar underneath
Am
Well for that inconvenience all my drinks are free
Bm B Em
So I guess it's just as well
Em
Why do I envy the ending right from the start
Bm
Just get it together to take it apart
Am
Watching the horse as it follows the cart
Bm B Em
I sweep up my broken spell
Am Em
And I felt something changing the world
Am Em
Like a new constitution
Am Em
A thief I would have to pursue
Csus2 Bm Em
At all times, at all costs, the truth
Em, Asus2, Bb/Bbsus2
Em, Asus2, Bb/Bbsus2, Bsus2
Em, Asus2, Bb/Bbsus2, Bsus2, Csus2
Em, Asus2, Bb/Bbsus2, Bsus2, Csus2, C#/C#sus2
Em, Asus2, Bb/Bbsus2, Bsus2, Csus2, C#/C#sus2, Dsus2
End on: Em
