Courtney Barnett - History Eraser

Intro
A augmentedA      C majorC  [followed by a bar of silence]

Verse 1
A augmentedA      C majorC
I got drunk and fell asleep
A augmentedA      C majorC
Atop the sheets but luckily
A augmentedA      C majorC
I left the heater on

D MajorD

A augmentedA      C majorC
And in my dreams I wrote the best
A augmentedA      C majorC
Song that I've ever written
A augmentedA      C majorC
Can?t remember how it goes
D MajorD      C majorC

A augmentedA      C majorC
I stayed drunk and fell awake
A augmentedA      C majorC
I was cycling on a plane
A augmentedA      C majorC        D MajorD      C majorC
And far away I heard you say you liked me

A augmentedA       C majorC
We drifted to a party, cool
A augmentedA       C majorC
The people went to arty school
A augmentedA       C majorC       D MajorD      C majorC
They made their paints by mixing acid wash and lemonade

Chorus
A augmentedA (Allow to sustain)
In my brain
I re-arrange
The letters on the page
To spell your name

Verse 2
A augmentedA       C majorC
I found an Ezra Pound
A augmentedA       C majorC
And made a bet that if I found
A augmentedA       C majorC       D MajorD      C majorC
A augmentedA cigarette, I'd drop it all and marry you

A augmentedA       C majorC
Just then a song comes on:
A augmentedA        C majorC
"You can't always get what you want"
A augmentedA       C majorC       D MajorD     C majorC
The Rolling Stones, oh woe is we, the irony

A augmentedA       C majorC
The stones became the moss
A augmentedA       C majorC
And once all inhibition's lost
A augmentedA       C majorC      D MajorD     C majorC
The hipsters made a mission to the farm

A augmentedA       C majorC
We drove by tractor there
A augmentedA       C majorC
The yellow straw replaced our hair
A augmentedA       C majorC       D MajorD      C majorC
We laced the dairy river with the cream of sweet vermouth

Chorus
A augmentedA     C majorC
In my brain
A augmentedA     C majorC
I re-arrange
A augmentedA     C majorC
The letters on the page
D MajorD     C majorC
To spell your name

Verse 3
A augmentedA       C majorC
You said, "We only live once"
A augmentedA       C majorC
So we touched a little tongue
A augmentedA       C majorC
And instantly I wanted to
D MajorD       C majorC

A augmentedA       C majorC
I lost my train of thought
A augmentedA       C majorC
And jumped aboard the Epping as
A augmentedA       C majorC
The doors were slowly closing on the world
D MajorD       C majorC

A augmentedA       C majorC
I touched on and off
A augmentedA       C majorC
And rubbed my arm up against yours
A augmentedA       C majorC
And still the inspector inspected me
D MajorD       C majorC

A augmentedA       C majorC
The lady in the roof
A augmentedA       C majorC
Was living proof that nothing
A augmentedA       C majorC
Really ever is exactly as it seems

[Chorus]

Verse 4
A augmentedA       C majorC
We caught the river boat downstream
A augmentedA       C majorC
And ended up beside a team
A augmentedA       C majorC
Of angry footballers
D MajorD       C majorC

A augmentedA       C majorC
I fed the ducks some krill
A augmentedA       C majorC
Then we were sucked against our will
A augmentedA       C majorC
Into the welcome doors of the casino
D MajorD       C majorC

A augmentedA       C majorC
We drank green margaritas
A augmentedA       C majorC
Danced with sweet señoritas
A augmentedA       C majorC
And we all went home as winners of a kind
D MajorD       C majorC

A augmentedA [Allow to sustain]
You said "I guarantee we'll have more fun

Drink till the moon becomes the sun
            D MajorD        C majorC
And in the taxi home I'll sing you a Triffids song"

[Chorus]

Outro
A augmentedA [Until fade out]
