Bonnet Of Pins chords by Matt Berninger

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Intro:


Bb C Dm F (x2)

Verse 1:
   Bb                       C
It takes a lot to really disappear
Dm                         F
Always leave traces in the leaves
   Bb                    C
Never thought I'd see her here
Dm                          F
Never thought I'd see her again

Verse 2:
Bb
She sidewinders through the room to me
       C
With a real cigarette and a styrofoam coffee
Dm                                  F
She's still wearing her father's feather jacket
Bb
She holds out her hands and I stand to receive her
C

Trying to remember the last time I'd seen her
Dm                        F
Somehow she looks younger now

Chorus:
                    Bb
She finishes off my drink and
                      C
Puts on her bonnet of pins and
        Dm
Says "I thought I'd find you much quicker than this, you
F                               Bb         C
Must've thought I didn't exist, poor you, I do
     Dm                              F
We'd better go before your boyfriends cry"

Verse 3:
Bb                                  C
She says she takes photos of tractor bones
Dm                              F
And sells 'em to model luxury homes
    Bb                               C
The closest thing she's ever found to love
       Dm                               F
Is the kind you can't get rid of fast enough

Chorus:
                    Bb
She finishes off my drink and
                      C
Puts on her bonnet of pins and
        Dm
Says "I thought I'd find you much quicker than this, you
F                               Bb         C
Must've thought I didn't exist, poor you, I do
     Dm                              F
We'd better go before your boyfriends cry"

Interlude:

G7 Bb Dm C

Bridge:
         G7
Take the stairs to the bottom where the lights are out
         Bb
And I'll be there with a lighter and a Nobokav cocktail
  Dm
Forget the questionnaires and the oral histories
        C
I don't care how many times you almost said you missed me
       G7
It's a cup trick shell, it's a puff of smoke
       Bb
And it gets me every time, it's a pretty good joke
   Dm
I know that you miss me, I know that you miss me
C
This stuff takes a lifetime

Chorus:
                    Bb
She finishes off my drink and
                      C
Puts on her bonnet of pins and
        Dm
Says "I thought I'd find you much quicker than this, you
F                               Bb         C
Must've thought I didn't exist, poor you, I do
  Dm
I thought I'd find you much quicker than this, you
F                               Bb         C
Must've thought I didn't exist, poor you, I do
     Dm                              F
We'd better go before your boyfriends cry"
