Mission Bells by Matt Nathanson

Standard Tuning
Capo on 4

I palm mute the verses and fully strum the chorus, with single strums during the
bridge. Whatever works, I guess.

G6: 320000
Cmaj7: x32000

Em7: 022033
G: 320033

Intro: (Em, G6, Cmaj7Cmaj7) x2

E minorEm   G6G6    Cmaj7Cmaj7
I had a dream you died,
          E minorEm   G6G6  Cmaj7Cmaj7
and I just want to be with you tonight
          E minorEm
Mission bells were ringing
 G6G6    Cmaj7Cmaj7
somewhere higher,
     E minorEm   G6G6 Cmaj7Cmaj7
I let you get away
     E minorEm   G6G6 Cmaj7Cmaj7
I let you get away

E minorEm     G6G6
What kind of man misunderstands
       Cmaj7Cmaj7
a woman like you,
E minorEm     G6G6    Cmaj7Cmaj7
sees her in black and white?
   E minorEm    G6G6             Cmaj7Cmaj7
It's 5 AM and phone book says that you're not alone
    E minorEm    G6G6    Cmaj7Cmaj7
in the cold gray morning light

E minorEm  G6G6     Cmaj7Cmaj7
The only one that's left to trust,
  E minorEm    G6G6     Cmaj7Cmaj7
my faithless heart that wasted us.

E minorEm            G6G6
What kind of fool thinks love's a prison
   Cmaj7Cmaj7
or a handicap,
E minorEm  G6G6    Cmaj7Cmaj7
only says goodbye?
E minorEm         G6G6        Cmaj7Cmaj7
Sinking fast in the rocky waters off Alcatraz,
  E minorEm     G6G6 Cmaj7Cmaj7
his friends say suicide

E minorEm  G6G6     Cmaj7Cmaj7
The only one that's left to trust,
  E minorEm    G6G6     Cmaj7Cmaj7
my faithless heart that wasted us.

I let you get away
     G+G    Cadd9Cadd9 E minor 7Em7
I let you get away

E minorEm         G6G6
I'm the end of a Hitchcock movie
     Cmaj7Cmaj7
a little dark and a lot confusing
    E minorEm        G6G6
I'm the last of the worst pretenders
  Cmaj7Cmaj7
so lost, so lost in love
    E minorEm         G6G6
I'm the end of a Hitchcock movie
     Cmaj7Cmaj7

so lost, so lost in love
