Method Acting Cortez The Killer chords by Dave Rawlings Machine
Guitar chords with lyrics
Em
There's no beginning to the story
Bm7
A bookshelf sinks into the sand
C
And a language learned, forgot in turn
G D/F#
Studied once again
Em
It's a shocking bit of footage
🎸
Accuracy Rating: - Votes: -
Bm7
Viewed on a shitty TV screen
C
You can squint at snow and static
G D/F#
To make out what it means
Em
And keep stretching that antenna
Bm7
Hoping that it will come clear
C
I need some reception, a higher message
G D/F#
Please tell me what to feel
Chorus:
C D G G/B
'Cause I don't know what tomorrow brings
C D G G/B
It's alive with such possibilities
C D G G/B
But I know that I feel better when I sing
C B7add4
Burdens are lifted from me
Em
That's my voice rising
Em
So T-Bone, please keep the tape rolling
Bm7
Gil keep strumming that guitar
C
We need a record of our failures
G D/F#
We must document our love
Em
I sat too long in my silence
Bm7
Grown too old on my pain
C
To shed this skin, be born again
G D/F#
It starts with an ending
Chorus:
C D G G/B
And I don't know what tomorrow brings
C D G G/B
It's full of such possibilities
C D G G/B
But I know that I feel better when I sing
C B7add4
Burdens are lifted from me
Em
That's my voice rising
Solo:
Bridge:
C Bm7
It's not a movie, no private screening
Am7 D
This method acting—I call it living
C Bm7
It's like a fountain, the door is open
Am7 D
We have a problem with no solution
C B7add4
But to love and to be loved
Solo:
Chorus:
C D G G/B
So thank you friends for the time we shared
C D G G/B
Your love stays with me like sunlight and air
C D G G/B
And though I truly wish I could keep hanging around here
C B7add4
My joy is covering me
Em
Soon I will disappear
Solo:
Em7
He came dancing across the water
D
With his galleons and guns
Am7
Looking for the new world
In the palace in the sun
Em7
On the shore lay Montezuma
D
With his coca leaves and pearls
Am7
In his halls, he often wondered
The secrets of the world
Em7
And his subjects gathered round him
D
Like the leaves around a tree
Am7
In their clothes of many colors
For the angry gods to see
Em7
And the women all were beautiful
D
And the men stood straight and strong
Am7
They offered life in sacrifice
So that others could go on
Solo:

Em7
Hate was just a 🏷Legend
D
And war was never known
Am7
The people worked together
And they lifted many stones
Em7
Then they carried them to the flatlands
D
But they died along the way
Am7
And they built up with their bare hands
What we still can't do today
Em7
And I know she's living there
D
And she loves me to this day
Am7
I just can't remember when
Or how I lost my way
Solo:
