Chords with lyrics

Intro:

D MajorD


Verse 1:
         G+G
What the hell is this?
                 D MajorD
You said, "It's art, just fuckin' mirror it"
        G+G
Where did we go wrong?
          A augmentedA
If not here, where do we belong?

Chorus 1:
                   G+G
In a shot of sun off an airplane far above her?
                     A augmentedA
In the glint of a foot-burnished manhole cover?
                  G+G
In a light, a sign of one kind or another?
                   D MajorD
In the gleaming eye of a fighter or a lover?


Verse 2:
          G+G
Sitting here at the Hortons
             D MajorD
So you know this is important
         G+G
If not here, then where?
         A augmentedA
If not now, then when?


Chorus 2:
               G+G
When a feather's an immovable force?
                A augmentedA
When the stampede's an obstacle course?
                     G+G
When Ancient Train has hit Ol' Transient Horse?
           D MajorD
When we're a Vancouver divorce?


Verse 3:
                 G+G
Now that we've hammered the last spike
                D MajorD
And we've punched the railroad through
              G+G
Thought there'd be more to say
              A augmentedA
Thought there'd be more to do


Chorus 3:
                        G+G
I love your paintings, don't take your colours away
                   A augmentedA
I've grown more fearful of them every day
                        G+G
Swimming up their dark rivers to discover your source
                   A augmentedA
A majorA source of strange and unrequited remorse
                   G+G
And I found the end of the world, of course
                   A augmentedA
But it's not the end of the world, of course
            G+G
It's just a Vancouver divorce
           D MajorD
It's just a Vancouver divorce
