Bixby Canyon Bridge Live chords by Death Cab For Cutie

Chords with lyrics

---------
-Verse A-
---------

C majorC       A minorAm        C majorC
I descended a dusty gravel ridge
      A minorAm         C majorC
Beneath the Bixby Canyon Bridge
      A minorAm       C majorC
Until I eventually arrived
    A minorAm
At the place where your soul had died

---------
-Verse B-
---------

FF    C majorC   G+G    FF
Barefoot in the shallow creek
      C majorC      G+G     FF
I grab some stones from underneath
      C majorC     G+G    FF (hold an extra measure)
Waiting for you to speak to me

---------
-Verse A-
---------

C majorC         A minorAm         C majorC
In the silence it became so very clear
       A minorAm          C majorC
That you had long ago disappeared
       A minorAm             C majorC
And I curse myself for being surprised
        A minorAm
That this didn't play out like it did in my mind

---------
-Verse B-
---------

FF     C majorC   G+G       FF
All the way from San Francisco
     C majorC   G+G        FF
As I chase the end of your rope
        C majorC  G+G      FF
'Cause I've still got miles to go

---------
-Verse C-
---------
FF
   C majorC     G+G  FF
I want to know my fate
  C majorC   G+G     FF
If I keep up this way
    C majorC   G+G     FF
Its hard to want to stay
    A minorAm  E MajorE
Aw - a - y

FF
    C majorC  G+G     FF
Then everyone you meet
       C majorC  G+G    FF
Will all seem to be asleep
     C majorC        G+G        D MajorD
And you wonder if you're missing your dream
     FF     D MajorD
You can't see your dream
     FF     D MajorD
You can't see your dream
      FF     D MajorD     FF
Just can't see your dream

-Outro-

C majorC
    A minorAm          C majorC
Then is started getting dark
           A minorAm            C majorC
And I trudged back to where the car was parked
       A minorAm        C majorC
No closer to any kind of truth
      A minorAm          (rest)
As I must assume was the case with you
