Sylvia An Introduction chords by The Antlers

Chords with lyrics

G+G        B minorBm
When you were younger, you had nightmares
    C majorC        G+G    G/F#
You had scissor-pain and phantom limbs
  E minorEm        A minorAm
And things that kept you nervous
       C majorC         D MajorD
Through that twelve-year interim
     G+G         B minorBm
When you fell crossing that street
     C majorC        G+G   G/F#
South of Houston, old Manhattan land
   E minorEm         A minorAm
Those nightmares fell from building-tops
  C majorC        D MajorD
And took you by the hand
       G+G         B minorBm
And you were brought into those rooms
       C majorC         G+G     G/F#
With sliding curtains, shining children's heads
  E minorEm        A minorAm
And one of them, that boy
      C majorC      D MajorD
Was not as lucky as you then
    G+G         B minorBm
But he returns to you at night
       C majorC          G+G   G/F#
Just when you think you might have fallen asleep
  E minorEm     A minorAm
His face is up against yours
        C majorC      D MajorD
And you're too terrified to speak
A minorAm    D MajorD
Oh, Sylvia
A minorAm    D MajorD
Oh, Sylvia
E minorEm             A minorAm
You may think that I'm not listening
   C majorC       D MajorD
But I am, goddamn, I am
    G+G       B minorBm
I won't pretend I understand
     C majorC         G+G   G/F#
Because I can't, and know I never will
  E minorEm         A minorAm
But something makes you sting
       C majorC         D MajorD
And something makes you want to kill
      G+G        B minorBm
It made you crawl under that house
        C majorC       G+G   G/F#
And stick your head under the stove
   E minorEm
It's all connected
 A minorAm         C majorC          D MajorD
In those complicated nightmares that you wove
A minorAm    D MajorD
Oh, Sylvia
A minorAm    D MajorD
Oh, Sylvia
    E minorEm         A minorAm
You may think that I'm not listening
  C majorC       D MajorD
