Ben Gibbard - Broken Yolk In Western Sky



INTRO: G+G


Broken yolk in western sky
  D MajorD                 C majorC  A minorAm
My stomach turned, my mouth went dry___
        G+G         D MajorD
And I knew I'd never know fear before


 G+G
I pressed my palms into the seat
   D MajorD                C majorC  A minorAm
With one last look at you next to me___
     G+G        D MajorD
I kicked open the sliding door

CHORUS:
   C majorC            G+G
And I threw myself out on the road
C majorC           G+G
Torn flesh and broken bones
      E minorEm        A augmentedA
And in the shoulder's patchy grass
 C majorC        G+G
I faded into your past


I know it was a cowardly thing to do
      D MajorD               C majorC  A minorAm
And that an explanation is not an excuse___
    G+G        D MajorD
I just need you to understand


  G+G
My love is like some kind of greed
  D MajorD                C majorC  A minorAm
Of equal portions 'want' and 'need___'
   G+G         D MajorD
And I cannot divorce the two


CHORUS:
   C majorC         G+G
But I could not sleep at all
       C majorC         G+G
With all the rumble strip close calls
    E minorEm          A augmentedA
In the gravel and scattered trash
 C majorC        G+G   E minorEm
I faded into your past

BRIDGE:
        G+G
When you think twice
   A minorAm          C majorC     E minorEm
You arrive at the same conclusions
        G+G
And it's bad advice
D MajorD      C majorC
Only if you use it


INSTRUMENTAL: G+G   D MajorD  C majorC A minorAm G+G   D MajorD  C majorC A minorAm G+G


CHORUS:
       C majorC        G+G
And then you disappeared from view
     C majorC       G+G
And you became somebody new
     E minorEm     A augmentedA
Near the exit's overpass
 C majorC        G+G
I faded into your past
    C majorC        G+G
Yes, I faded into your past
    C majorC        G+G
Yes, I faded into your past
