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

Harmonica:

C Em Dm C
C Em Dm G
Am G F G

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

Harmonia:

C Em Dm C
C Em Dm G
Am G F G

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
