Half A Million Chords by The Shins

I make myself a _ [G] promise
They [C] break it [D] every night
[E] I'm feeling the [C] sand
Life don't make [E] no sense
I use [C] my brains to build a [G] fence
Round the claim [D] I stake
I [C] take the drugs, but the drugs [E] won't take _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ I look [C] who pledge, who go [G] _ up
They're [C] drunk enough to [D] make me throw up [Em] on all my [C] dearly _ disappointed [Em] friends
I'm just [C] too lazy [E] to make [G] amends
Look it _ [D] anyway
_ [C] That's why the pattern's still [Em] in it
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
Is that the [Am] way it thinks that I'm [Em] supposed to be?
Sheltered [D] in the night time, up on a [G] climbing tree
When if it [Am] gets to be, I reach for [Em] my guitar
And if [D] I try
_ [C] My soul could really [G] drop into
_ _ [E] Everything I was, I've [D] dreamt of days I haven't seen
[G] [C] I'll bring you [G] something next you're lovin'
_ [E] As crazy as it seems, you [D] give it up and you're free _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Another [C] _
candle to blow [G] _ out
New [C] city dot [D] coms to shout [Em] out
And _ [C] everybody's got their [Em] allergies
But nothing [C] works [E] like [G] chemistry
_ So raise [D] the toast
_ [C] No more sipping from the fire [Em] _
hose
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Is that the [Am] way it thinks that I'm [Em] supposed to be?

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Is that [Am] the way it thinks that you're [Em] supposed to be?
Burnt [D] under the moonlight, a freak [G] on the scene
And if [Am] it gets to be, you reach for your guitar
And if [D] you try hard
[G] _ _ Is that [Am] the way it thinks that I'm [Em] supposed to be?
Sheltered [D] in the night time, up on a [G] climbing tree
And if [Am] it gets to be, I reach [Em] for my guitar
And if [D] I try hard
_ [G] _ _ Is that [Am] the way it thinks that I'm [Em] supposed to be?
