The Calendar Hung Itself chords by Bright Eyes

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1]

     F#5F#5
Does he kiss your eyelids in the morning when you start to raise your head?
      C#5C#5
And does he sing to you incessantly from the space between your bed and wall?
    F#5F#5
Does he walk around all day at school with his feet inside your shoes?
    C#5C#5
Looking down every few steps to pretend he walks with you.
    F#5F#5
Does he know that place below your neck that is your favorite to be touched
      C#5C#5
And does he cry through broken sentences like I love you far too much?

Chorus 1:

B minorBm      E7E7     A augmentedA      D MajorD
Does he lay awake listening to your breath?
B minorBm      E7E7      A augmentedA     D MajorD
Worried that you smoke too many cigarettes.
E MajorE            F# minorF#m
Is he coughing now on a bathroom floor?
E MajorE                  F# minorF#m
For every speck of tile there are a thousand more
   E MajorE              A*  E MajorE   D MajorD    E MajorE
That you won't ever see but most hold inside yourself eternally.

instrumental:
F#5F#5 C#5C#5 2x

Verse 2:

       F#5F#5
I drug your ghost across the country and we plotted out my death.
      C#5C#5
In every city, memories would whisper: "Here is where you rest."
     F#5F#5
I was determined in Chicago but I dug my teeth into my knees
    C#5C#5
And I settled for a telephone and sang into your machine.
F#5F#5
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
C#5C#5
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

Instrumental:
B minorBm E7E7 A augmentedA D MajorD (2x) end on E MajorE

Verse 3:

  F#5F#5
I kissed a girl with a broken jaw that her father gave to her.
      C#5C#5
She had eyes bright enough to burn me. They reminded me of yours.
   F#5F#5
In a story told she was a little girl in a red-rouge,
                 C#5C#5
Sun-bruised field and there were rows of ripe tomatoes where a secret was concealed.
    F#5F#5                 C#5C#5
And it rose like thunder, clapped under our hands.
    F#5F#5                    C#5C#5
And it stretched for centuries to a diary entry's end where I wrote,
F#5F#5                 C#5C#5
You make me happy When the skies are gray
F#5F#5                 C#5C#5
You make me happy when the skies are gray and gray and gray.

Chorus 2:

      B minorBm       E7E7     A augmentedA     D MajorD
Well the clock's heart it hangs inside its open chest with its hands
 B minorBm           E7E7    A augmentedA   D MajorD     E MajorE             F# minorF#m
Stretched towards the calendar hanging itself but I will not weep for those dying days.
       E MajorE               F# minorF#m
For all the ones who have left there are a few that stayed.
      E MajorE        A*    E MajorE    D MajorD   E MajorE      F#5F#5  C#5C#5
And they found me here and pulled me from the grass where I was laid.
