Blanket And Crib chords by Okkervil River

C      Am             C
Safe, safe, enjoy your time feeling so safe,
   Am             Em
and treasure that smile on your face,
       Am             D      G
okay? Because time will see that it's replaced in a while.
      C      Am                C     Am
So go on, smile. And handshakes all around- that's your style, and no one
        Em        Am            D
would call it denial, for you're not even sure what's in store, Though it's
 G
more.
        F    C         G            Am
Than you'll be able to take standing up straight. And it won't be okay.
          F   C           G
And you won' be somebody who it's just happening to, because it's a trap
   D
that you, and only you,
    C        Am         C
have laid, laid with a towel up over your face,
      Am          Em
in your armchair, just lying in wait,
      Am          D      G
 waiting forces were gathering outside your door.
            C         Am               C
They sharpened their knives, knives and smiled with no smiles in their eyes,
  Am          Em     Am         D       G
a little bit larger in size and a little bit hungrier for that tiny prize.
     F     C          G              Am
And my mother once said "Son, remember this, no matter what someone did:
      F        C          G         Am
that they once were just a kid at breast and in bib, in blanket and crib.
     F       G          C           Am
So just reach inside yourself and find the part that still needs help,
      F    C             G
find that part in someone else and you'll do good", so
          D
I thought that I would.

(F - C - F - C - F - C - G - Am) X2

 C   Am             C
Hey I love you, it goes without saying.
     Am           Em
I would give you the world on a tray, though
     Am
they're already tracing a
D         G
line across your throat.
     C
Far too late in the game you'll
 Am
find that you have been
  C       Am            Em
betrayed: propped up and pushed into your place.
     Am
I could claim that it all would
   D           G            C   F
go great, but the reason I came is to say that it won't.
             C     F
You should know that it won't,
             C     F
You should know that it won't,
             G     D   G     C
You should know that it won't, and so, Phillip, let go.
