What Sarah Said chords by Death Cab For Cutie

Chords with lyrics

This is really easy to play and strum along too. It doesn't sound like a piano, but
You can either pluck or strum both sound good. Kind of just threw this together so feel free
make changes.
 -Nick


Standard Tuning


Intro F, G, Am, C majorC (pretty much repeats the whole song)

FF                  G+G          A minorAm  C majorC
And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
FF                    G+G      A minorAm   E minorEm
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409
FF                    G+G       A minorAm
And I rationed my breathes as I said to myself that I'd already taken too
   C majorC
much today

FF                G+G         A minorAm
E minorEm
As each descending peak of the LCD took you a little farther away from me
FF             G+G          A minorAm
C majorC
Away from me

Repeat intro twice

FF                         G+G          A minorAm
Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we only
C majorC
say goodbye
FF                           G+G      A minorAm
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in
E minorEm
our minds
FF                            G+G
 A minorAm
But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never lain
   C majorC
beside at all
FF                        G+G       A minorAm
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained
E minorEm
itself

DmDm                  FF     A minorAm   E minorEm
'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
DmDm                FF      A minorAm E minorEm
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
DmDm                            FF
E minorEm
And then the nurse comes round and everyone will lift their heads
DmDm               FF        A minorAm      E minorEm
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said that "Love is watching someone die"

FF       G+G     A minorAm  C majorC
So who's going to watch you die?..  Repeat
