Marching Bands Of Manhattan Acoustic chords by Death Cab For Cutie

• Capo on 3rd

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


VERSE 1
G                   D
If I could open my arms
Am                            Fm
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan,
G                          D
I'd bring it to where you are
Am                     Fm
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson
G                       D
And if I could open my mouth
Am                  Fm
Wide enough for a marching band to march out of
G                          D
They would make your name sing
Am                             Fm
And bend through alleys and bounce off other buildings.

Em  Fm   G   D
Em  Fm   G   D

VERSE 2
G                         D
I wish we could open our eyes
Am                 Fm
To see in all directions at the same time
G                    D
Oh what a beautiful view
Am                  Fm
If you were never aware of what was around you
G                        D
And it is true what you said
Am                  Fm
That I live like a hermit in my own head
G                        D
But when the sun shines again
Am                            Fm
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in.

CHORUS
Em                     Fm
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
G                            D
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
Em                     Fm
But while you debate half empty or half full
G               D
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown

Em     Fm      G      D
                         Your love is gonna drown
Em     Fm      G      D
                         Your love is gonna...
