Chords for Kevin Devine - Carnival - Live at The 567, 12/03/10

[Gb] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _ I quit the [Bb] _ _ [Ebm] carnival, _
_ _ [B] _ moved [Gb] next door, [Bb] thought I had enough, _
[Ebm] _ _ I want [Bbm] more.
So now [E] I'm sneaking [Ab] out [Ebm] at night, I peep my [B] face and [Db] shine my [Gb] shoes, go [Bb] where I'm not [Gb] supposed [Ebm] to.
_ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
I tamed a [Bb] lion [Gb] _ _
[Ebm] once, _ [B] _ stole his [Gb] roar, stripped [Bb] his pride away, _ [Ebm] _ _ he found [Gb]
more.
So [D] now he's back to [Ebm] take what's his and shove [F] my future in [Gb] my face, scare [Bb] me back [Ebm] in my _ place. _ _ _
[Gb] Soon, _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [Ebm] _
soon, _ _ [Abm] _ _ you've [Am] got [Gb] it beat, _ [Bb] sweetheart, till [Ebm] it beats you. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gb] _ I left [Bb] my flaming [Ebm] _ _ sword _ [B] _ inside [C] your [Gb] bed, I hope to [Bb] find it [Gb] pressed [Ebm] _ _ _ against my [Bbm] neck.
You had _ [Bb]
suggestion, [Ebm] never works, so now [B] I'm [Gb] trying something else.
I shut [Bb] my eyes, [Ebm] no hum, oh well, _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] _ I [Bb] felt a feather [Ebm] _ fold, _ [B] a tree _ [Gb] trunk split inside [Bb] my
lion, _ [Ebm] laughed, _ played _ violin.
[Gb] _ He said you [Bb] should give up your [Ebm] voice before [Db] we both [Bbm] end up [Gb] destroyed.
I quit, [Bb] alright, you've [Ebm] heard, good boy, _ _ _ [B] cause you'll believe anything. _
_ And [Ebm] we went in the car, _ _ _ did you [B] fall for anyone? _
_ And I [Ebm] said that's not [Db] exactly [Eb] true, I [Bbm] only fall [B] for you. _ _
[Bm] _ I'll do [Ebm] what you want me to.

[Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ [Gb] You wake in [Bb] the hospital, [B] _ _ _ you get a thrift store [Gb] suit, you hear [Bb] your lover's [Eb] _ voice.
In the waiting [Gb] room, you [Bb] shut your eyes, pray [B] for peace, think I'm not here, [A] this [Gb] isn't
me, this isn't [Eb] something I would [B] do.
I know the complicated [Gb] _ truth, a makeup [Bb] _ mask, a [B] lion's roar, a big top tent, a [Gb] fiery sword.
They're [Bb] not real, they [Eb] never were, and soon [B] she won't be real [Gb] either.
_ This [Bb] is the life you [Eb] went and earned, [B] cause you never [Gbm] fucking learn, and [Bb] you could [Eb] waste
all of your years fixing [B] the mess you're [Gb] making here.
[Abm] So [Bb] as her nervous breath [Ebm] draws [Abm] close, dress heels click off [Gb] their up-close, you [Bb] clutch
your chest, you [Ebm] whisper, oh _ no, what will- _ _ _ _
