Bright Eyes - Nothing Gets Crossed Out chords
Start Jamming...
[Bb] Well, the future's got me worried [Eb] such awful thoughts
My [F] head's a carousel of pictures
[Bb] The spinning [Dm] never [Bb] stops
I just want someone [Cm] to walk in front
[Ab] And not follow [Bb] the leader
That corner fell under the weight of [Eb] a schoolboy crush
[F] Started carrying her books and [Bb] doing [Dm] lots of [Bb] drugs
I almost forgot [Eb] who I was
[Ab] But came to my [Bb] senses
Now I'm trying to be assertive, I'm [Cm] making plans
[Bb] Wanna [F] rise to the occasion, [Bb] yeah, meet all their demands
But all I do is [Eb] just lay in bed
[Ab] And hide under the [Bb]
covers
[F] Yeah, I know I should [Cm] be [F]
brave
[Gm] But I'm just too afraid of all this [F] change
And [Bb] it's too hard to focus [Cm] through all this doubt
[F] I keep making this to-do list [Bb] but nothing [Dm] gets crossed
[Bb] Working on the records [Cm] is pointless
Now [Ab] when the world ends who's gonna [Bb]
hear it?
I'm trying to take some comfort [Cm] in written words
[F] Yeah, Tim, I heard your album, [Bb]
it's [F] better [Bb] than good
When you get up to it, I [Cm] think we should
[Ab] Hang and black out [Bb]
together
Cause I've been feeling sentimental for [Eb] days gone by
All [F] the summers singing, drinking, laughing, [Bb] wasting [Dm] our time
[Gm] Remember all the songs and the [Cm] way we smiled
In [Ab] those basements made of [Bb] music
[Cm] But now I've got to [F] crawl
To [Gm] get anywhere at all
I'm not as [F] strong as I thought
[Gm] [Bb]
[Cm] [Eb] [F]
[Bb] [Dm] [Gm]
[Cm] [Eb] [Ab]
[Bb] [Gm] So
[Cm] [F]
[Bb] [Dm] [Gm]
[Dm] [Eb] [Ab]
[F] [Bb] when I'm lost in a crowd of [Dm] open -mouthed pimpies
[Fm]
I long to [Ab] come to [F] my school
I lay [Bb] down and I walk
Wait for him to lift [Dm] me up
Help me step up [Fm] and lay in solitude
[F] Lay in the water
[Bb] Lay in the water
[Dm] Lay in the water
[Bb] [Fm] Lay in the water
[F]
[Bb] Everything that happens [F] is supposed to be
And it's all predetermined, [Bb] can't change your [Dm] destiny
[Bb] Guess I'll just keep moving [Cm] someday
Maybe [Ab] I'll get to where [Bb] I'm going
