The Strums: by the Dodos

Intro:(C, F, Am, DmDm)x2

C majorC        FF
The image on the board
    A minorAm        DmDm
Selling things we can't afford
     C majorC          FF
But we're still buying up in a frenzy
     A minorAm          DmDm
Cause our hearts just yearn for more
    G+G
Is this sin, all he want?
  C majorC      A minorAm
Is offerings we got?
  G+G       C majorC     DmDm
But soon you'll be overrating eyes
  G+G
Oh people they can't be good
        C majorC         A minorAm
When what comes next on the market should
     Bb majorBb               C majorC
But we go on because its understood
         DmDm              A minorAm
But you can only hope, when they say that they want you
DmDm             A minorAm         G+G
Yeah, they'll say that they want you, when they don't

C majorC       FF
It's like a chandelier
      A minorAm       DmDm
It's like a fountain head
          C majorC        FF
The strings are all there
       A minorAm          DmDm
A augmentedA chain link fence to convince you
         C majorC        FF
That you're never aware
             A minorAm        DmDm
For things that which you spare
       C majorC     FF      A minorAm      DmDm
Are at cause they don't care about you

G+G
Don't care of what you've done
    C majorC       A minorAm
You're fooled by everyone
  G+G       C majorC        DmDm
But soon you'll go get your daddy's gun
  G+G
And go out to recollect
       C majorC           A minorAm
From all the guards that you put in debt
       Bb majorBb
It's time you learn that you cannot change (can't hide shame/change)
      C majorC
But you forget

DmDm              A minorAm
But you will always think when they say that they want you,
DmDm           A minorAm          G+G
When they say that they want you, that they don't

(C, F, Am, DmDm)x2 (G, C, A minorAm)x3 (Bb, C majorC)

FF              Bb majorBb
You wait but somedays never come
             G minorGm
Your prophesying here is done
                C majorC
You're only left with what you beg

FF               Bb majorBb
In toward you can, begone your way
               G minorGm
The others wait till they're okay
                 C majorC  FF  A minorAm  DmDm
They're only left with what they beg, beg, beg

C majorC         FF
So children kill your teachers
     A minorAm           DmDm
Kill your parents, then kill your preachers
      C majorC              FF
Because you know, that they'll only will doubt you
     A minorAm         DmDm
When they start to lose their features
  G+G
Its okay that there gone
     C majorC        A minorAm
Torturing you is all they want
      Bb majorBb
And lesson learned, now lesson taught
     Bb majorBb
You just know what they forgot
      Bb majorBb               C majorC
Cause they didn't get to find out what you sought
