Chords for Bright Eyes - Classic Cars - 07 (Lyrics in the description)

_ _ She _ _ _ [E] was a real royal lady, [A] true patron of the arts
[B] Said the best [D#] country [B] singers [C#m] died in the back of [A] classic cars
So [E] if I ever got too hungry for [A] a suitcase or guitar
_ I'd think [E] of them [B] all alone [E] in the dark
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
So I laid some nights beside her [A] in a bed made for a queen
_ _ [B] _
She said I kissed her different [C#m] than all the men her age [A] were mean
[E] Gave me anything I wanted, [A] oh the _ generosity
_ _ I took [E]
all [B] that I could, [E] it was free _ _ _ _ _ _
Now the skies are torn up denim _ [A] and the clouds just splattered paint _
[B] It's a room I'm [D] _ [B] renovating, _ [C#m]
it's a name I gotta [A] change
[E] If I get out of _ California, _ [A] I'm going back to my home state
_ [E] Tell them all [B] that I've made [E] a mistake
_ And I'll keep looking for [A] that line full of faith
Lighting candles [B] to her cynical _ _ stains
[E] Who wants the last laugh at [B] the fly traps [C#m] in the [A] windowsill tape
[B] You can go right out your mind, trying to _ escape
[F#] _
_ _ From the [B] panic [G#] paradox [C#m] of day to [A] day
_ If _ you can't [B] understand something, then it's best to be [E] afraid
_ [B] _ _ _
[G#] _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[E] The whole world, it loves you if [A] you're a sheep _ chameleon
_ _ [B] _
_ _ Intersecting circles, [C#m] she could hang with _ [E] _ anyone
When _ conducting business, _ [A] she would lie about where she's from
_ [E] Saying life [B] is how it is, [E] not how it was
I _ _ _ _ _ _ _ learned to listen, [A] felt like I was back at school
She'd [B] _ _ talk forever [C#m] about the phases [A] of the moon
_ [E]
Saying _ everything's a cycle, you gotta [A] let it come to you
And [E] when it does, [B] you will know [E] what to do _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Without even knowing, I [A] guess I took up her advice _ _
[B] _ _ [F#m] Painted a front [B] door, [C#m] but seemed to seal the book goodbye _ _
[E] _ It's not that often, [A] but I think of her sometimes
[E] Just something clean, [B] a couple ships [E] in the night
_ _ And they keep moving [A] at a glacial _ pace
Turning circles [B] in a memory _ maze
I made [E] a new cast [B] of the death mask that's [C#m] gonna cover my [A] _ face
[B] I had to change the _ combination to the _ [E] safe
_ _ Hide it all [B] behind a wall [C#m] that people [A] hate _ _ _
_ _ [B] Enough to trust a heart that's so [E] bent it can't be free _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
