Tachycardia chords by Conor Oberst

Verse:

C C C

C            Em
It's a mass grave
Dm                C
A dollar-fifty resting place
C            Em
On the north face
Dm                      G
there's a rope I've gotta climb
Am              Em
I'm a stone's throw
F                 Em
from everyone I love and know
Am           Em
But I can't show
   F           G
up looking like I do

C          Em
In an old suit
Dm                          C
my hair is slicked up back nice and smooth
C           Em
In a court room,
Dm                     G
sweat rolling down my back
Am          Em
It's a bad dream
F                 Em
I have it seven times a week
Am           Em
No it was not me
F                    G      C
But I'm the one who has to die

Verse:
C             Em
Needs a cold draw
Dm                  C
to slow his tachycardia
C         Em
In a dark bar
Dm                    G
the world just melts away
Am            Em
And he feels fine
F                     Em
If he can just lose track of time
Am           Em
It's a good sign
F                  G
when he can't stay awake

C          Em
On a slow day
Dm                     C
the rain against the windowpane
C        Em
of the cafe
Dm                       G
She spills the coffee grounds
Am              Em
And the same thought
F                    Em
hits her like a cinder block
Am             Em
Life's an odd job
F                      G           C
that she don't got the nerve to quit

Verse:

C              Em
Yeah it's just there
Dm                       C
At the bottom of those spiral stairs
C                Em
It's the world's fair
Dm                G
The future's on display
Am             Em
In the still night
F                   Em
They turned on the electric lights
Am              Em
And the crowd cried out
F               G       C
Everyone looked so amazed
