Steadier Footing chords by Death Cab For Cutie

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

BB      G# minorG#m      EM7     BB
It's gotten late and now I want to be alone
BB      G# minorG#m          EM7      BB
All of our friends were here; they all have gone home
      D#mD#m        E MajorE
And here I sit on the front porch
        C# minorC#m      E minorEm       BB
Watching the drunks stumble forth into the night


Verse 2:

        G# minorG#m      EM7       BB
You gave me a heart attack; I did not see you there
BB         G# minorG#m       EM7       BB
I thought you had disappeared so early away from here
         D#mD#m      E MajorE      C# minorC#m
And this is the chance I never got to make a move
       E minorEm
But we just talk about


Chorus:

   C# minorC#m      E MajorE     BB
The people we have met in the last 5 years
   C# minorC#m   E MajorE      BB
And will remember them in ten more?


Verse 3:

(like the first 2 lines of the earlier verses)

BB     G# minorG#m       EM7        BB
I let you bum a smoke; you quit this winter past
BB      G# minorG#m          EM7           BB
I've tried twice before, but like this, it just will not last
