Bright Eyes - If the Brakeman Turns my Way - 03 (Lyrics in description) chords
Start Jamming...
[B] When panic grips your body [E] and your heart's a [B]
hummingbird
Raven thoughts black in your [E] mind till you're breathing in [F#] reverse
[E] And all your [G#m] friends and senators [B] mean well, [F#] but [E] make it worse
[G#m] every assurance
This magnifies [E] the doubt
[B] Better find [F#] yourself [G#m] a place [F#] to level [B] out
[G#m]
[F#] [B] got a cricket full of conscience [E] always looks the [B] other way a
cocaine soul starts seeming like [E] an empty [F#] cabaret
Hey, [E] well, all the dancers [G#m] gone [B] now the music [E] doesn't play
[B] Tried [E] [G#m] to listen to [E] the river
But [G#m] she couldn't shut your [E] mouth
Better [B] take [F#] a [B] little [F#] time level [B] out
[E] And never thought [B] of running my [E] feet just let the [F#] way
[B] Make some signal
[E] for the train
[B] Cause a switch that [F#] crazy rain
[B] And I can meet you [E] any place
[F#] [G#m] [E] All [B] this [G#m] [F#] [B] automatic writing [E] I've tried to [B] understand
From a psychedelic angel [E] who was tugging on my [F#] hand
[E] It's an infinite
[B]
Coincidence, but it doesn't [F#] [E] plan
So [G#m] I'm headed for [E] New England [G#m] or the Paris of [E] the South
[B] Gonna [F#] find myself [B] [F#] somewhere [B] level out
[G#m]
[F#] [B] Are you brothels full of Babylon with [E] married?
[B] middlemen
Never peer out of their periscopes from those [E] deep [F#] old fiends [E] ends
All this death must need [G#m] a counterweight [B] always someone [F#] born [E] again
[G#m] First the mother [E] babes a child
[G#m] Then the other way [E] around
[B] Scales [D#m] always [G#m] find the [B] way to level out
try [E]
to pass for [B] nothing
But [E] my dreams gave me [F#] away
[B] Make some signal
[E] for the train
Go moving [B] out
People snuffed out [F#] in the brutal rain
[B] I could live to move [E] out
Any age if [F#] the [E] great man turns my [B] way
[C#m]
It's an old world.
It's hard to [F#] remember
Like a [D#m] dinosaur [G#m] History
I'm [E] a Time [D#m] Simpler
[E] Where the Risen [F#] [B] History Moving [E] out Selling pain Moving [B] out Logic [F#] Crazy [B] rain Getting better [E] Now Everyday
The [G#m] great [E] man
Turns my [B] way
Make some signal Moving [E] out
For the train Moving [B] out
Cars are switched out [F#] in
Blood and rain [B] Never smiling [E] Moving out
Seals my fate
When [F#] the [G#m] great [E] man turns my [B] way
