Salutations chords by Conor Oberst

Verse:
G
Salutations!
B
To whom it may concern
Em
The litter box has overflowed
C          D
The frozen dinner burned
G
Oh we're running low on wine, my man
B
Could you please swing by the store
Em
My TV's just reality,
C           D
and I can't watch no more
G

There's a shining diamond somewhere
B
Where a kid is striking out
Em
His dad is in the dugout
C           D
He's foaming at the mouth
G
A stomach's turning sour inside
B
Of a disappointed scout
Em
Yeah he thought he'd found the real deal
C            D
But now he's got his doubts

Chorus:
Am           B
So it's over before it began
Em
But I could nurse you in the triage
C              D
I could stick you with some pins
Am                   B
But it's hopeless, these rules make no sense
Em        D     A
First they say we can't be lovers
C               D
And now they say we can't be friends

Solo:
G Am G Am B C D

Verse:
G
Ruminations
B
This medicine don't work
Em
Had that same thought ten thousand times
C          D
It's only getting worse
G
Swore off temptation
B
But what if it's what I really wanna do
Em
But how could I apologize
C           D
For telling you the truth
G
There's a burnt out light bulb above my head
B
It's stolen my ideas
Em
There's a yearbook on the book shelf
C            D
That can't explain the years
G
Well I never should have signed it
B
But you know summer's coming soon
Em
When I almost drowned you gave me mouth to mouth
C            D
Beside your neighbor's pool

Chorus:
Am           B
It was over before it began
Em
You could've left me in the water
C           D
But you made me live again
Am               B
And I'm sorry, I can't pay you back
Em        D        A
I wanna hold you 'til the world dissolves
C             D
But we just can't get attached

Outro:
