Library Magic Chords

** (C#m) is not played by the guitar in the recording but is alluded to by the bass. Sounds best to play it
if you are playing solo guitar.
 
[Intro]
 
F#m
 
[Verse 1]
F#m                B7
Drawn to the sorta library magic
E                            A
Whispering through the dusty aisles
F#m
Watching all the thinkers read
B7
Trying to keep a grown man quiet's like
E
Pulling teeth on a winters eve
A
Cracks and poles and unfamiliar roads
F#m         B7           E
I'm on this one to find out
 
[Verse 2]
F#m            B7
Veggie gas and brothers harass
E                       A
Can stay up here in the cloud of eyes
F#m             B7
Listening to my every move
E
Just trying to survive
F#m          B7             E
Self-imposed adventure that selfishness drives
                     F#m
I can barely keep my head above the blue
                  B7
Trying to keep it off me and you
 
[Chorus]
E                  C#m **
And I can see the sunshine's rays
A                    B7
Gleaming through the clear water
E               C#m **
Telling me you gotta hop in for
A
This chapter's ride
           F#m    B7         E
There will always be better days
           F#m    B7         E
There will always be better days
 
[Verse 3]
F#m             B7
Making music is what we do
E                   A
Trying to weave the patterns for me and you
F#m                 B7
Trying to make the grasses green
E
And the grown man cry
 
[Verse 4]
                  F#m            B7
Truth and Life is where I gleam
                E
Tangled up in a funnel's wind
                   F#m
Trying to come out walking
                   B7
Understand it's beyond me talking
                   F#m
Trying to come out walking
                   B7
Understand it's beyond me talking
 
[Chorus]
E                  C#m **
And I can see the sunshine's rays
A                    B7
Gleaming through the clear water
E                C#m **
Telling me you gotta hop in for
A
This chapter's ride
           F#m    B7         E
There will always be better days
           F#m    B7         E
There will always be better days
 
[Bridge]
F#m
Being alone isn't lonely
B7
Sought after like a holiday
F#m
Being alone is my vacation
                   B7
Postcard dreams, a full-sized bed
 
[Verse 5]
F#m                   B7
Quit the band one too many times
E                 A
Serious enough to get a rise
F#m                B7
Get up in the next morning
E
For another drive, that's a promise
F#m                B7
The best advice we ever received
E
Is for you and me to stay here together
F#m                             B7
It's easier to begin and hard to end
F#m                                      B7
I'm just glad to go through it all with you as a friend
 
[Chorus]
E                  C#m **
And I can see the sunshine's rays
A                    B7
Gleaming through the clear water
E                C#m **
Telling me you gotta hop in for
A
This chapter's ride

There will always be better days
           F#m    B7         E
There will always be better days
