Chords for The Shins - Half a Million (Video)

_ I make myself a _
[G] promise
They [C] break [D] every night [E] I'm feeling this [C] sense
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 _
I _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ took [C] a pledge to go [G] up
Then drank [C] enough to [D] make me throw up [Em] on them
My [C] dearly disappointed _ [Em] friends
I'm just [C] too lazy [E] to make [G] amends
Who'd do _
[D] anyway?
This [C] water bottle is still [Em] immense _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ Is that the [Am] way things are supposed [Em] to be?
Struggling [D] at night time upon [G] coming free
When everything [Am] gets too deep
I reach for [Em] my guitar and if [D] I try
I _ [C] press on but you really [G] drop into _ _
[E] Everything I was was [D] just a thing that I could see
[C] _ Everything is [G] something that's still up in
[E] As crazy as it seems
You [D] give it up and you're free
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] Another candle to blow [G] _ out
No [C] set of dark [Dm] thoughts to shut [Em] out
And _ [C] everybody's got their own [Em] dreams
But nothing works [E] like chemistry
[G] _ _ To raise [D] them toast
No [C] more sipping from the fire [Em] _ hose _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ Is that the [Am] way things are [Em] supposed to be?
Struggling [D] at night time upon [G] coming free
When everything [Am] gets too deep
I reach [Em] for my guitar and if [D] I try
I [C] press on but you really [G] drop into _
[E] _ Everything I was [D] was just a thing that I could see
[C] _ Everything is something [G] that's still up in
[E] As crazy as it seems
You [D] give it up and you're free
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ Is that [Am] the way things are [Em] supposed to be?
A friend [D] in the moonlight, a freak [G] on the scene
When [Am] everything gets too deep
You reach [E] for your [Em] guitar and if [D] you try hard
[G] _ _ Is that [Am] the way things are [Em] supposed to be?
[D] Struggling at night time upon [G] coming free
When [Am] everything gets too deep
I reach [Em] for my guitar and [D] if I try hard
[G] _ _ Is that [Am] the way things are [Em] supposed to be? _
[D] Struggling at night time upon [G] coming free
When everything gets [Am] too deep
I reach [Em] for my guitar and if [A] I try [E] hard
_ _ _ [D] _ _
