Vancouver Divorce chords by Gordon Downie

Intro:

D


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

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


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


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


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


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