The Valley Of The Shadows Of Planned Obsolescence chords by Jon Foreman

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
D             Em
 What did you do
         D                   G
With the old one you used to use?
              D                     D7    G
Remember when you two were simply inseparable
            D             E7          A
And now she seems only disposable and old
          D              Em
Without a call, bound to fall
               D           G
She was just a model after all
             D             D7       G
In a line of lonely models built to sell
              D/F#             E7
Planned obsolescence works too well
           A   A#      Bm
Feeling disposable and old

Chorus:
                D/F#        G                D
So what will we do when the colors leave our eyes?
       G             D                     A          A#
On the day our ashes rise will we still be friends?
Bm                D/F#          G            D
  And how will we know when the final chorus dies?
       G             D                      E7    G
On the day my spirit flies, I wanna be with you
             D
Just holding hands


Verse 2:
D           Em            D                    G
 Remember Myspace with my top eight so-called "friends"
           D               D7         G
Now Justin Timberlake is apparently involved
              D                E7
But I haven't been there for a while
           A           D
Feeling disposable and old
            Em                D                 G
Back in the day following and likes meant other things
           D            D7                    G
And pretty soon another made up world's gonna start
                     D           Bm
But I think I'd just rather play guitar
           A   A#      Bm
Feeling disposable and old


Chorus:
              D/F#        G                      D
So what do we do with the things that we used to prize?
        G             D                     A         A#
When my favorite CD's lie in the Goodwill's hands?
Bm                D/F#          G                  D
  And how will we know that the world will be just fine?
     G               D                     E7
Even if the platform dies, I wanna be with you
G             D
 Just holding hands


Interlude:
| Bm     | D/F#     | G     | D       |
| G      | D        | A     | A   A#  |
| Bm     | D/F#     | G     | D       |
| G      | D        | E7    | G       |
| D      | D        |


Verse 3:
D           Em           D                    G
 Everything dies just as sure as the sun will rise
               D             D7             G
We live in the valley of the shadow of that death
          D               E7
Breathing breath in after breath
           A           D
Feeling disposable and old
             E7             D                 G
But here's a fact, yes, the Internet's just a fad
       D                     D7                G
I only give it a couple more thousand years or so
            D            E7           A    A#      Bm
Until we surrender our illusions of disposable and old


Chorus:
                 D/F#     G               D
So what would we do if we finally saw the light?
      G                     D                    A       A#
If we dropped this accursed pride could we make amends?
Bm                D/F#           G               D
  And how will we know when it's time to call it time?
       G                D/F#                 E7
On the day my heartbeat dies I wanna be with you
G                    D
 The rest is just pretend


Tag:
D            E7      G
 Just make believe
                   D
Just a means to an end
D                E7     G
 I wanna be with you
             D
Just holding hands
