Okkervil River ?" White

    G                      C
We crashed through crazed glass
                  Em                 C
In the white-hot burst of the fiery blast
    G                     C
We flared through choked air
                 Em                       C   D
In the deafening blare, in the scattering ash

G                             C
Summer?s here, and I'm gonna crack, crack, crack
G                             C     G
Summer?s here, and I'm gonna crack

   G                     C
We sort through shocked quartz
              Em                           C
In a jewelry store, watch your sister and dad
   G               C
Consort with kept courtesans
                Em                    C    D
While the whole world is in ruins, we laugh.

G                             C
Summer?s here, and I'm gonna crack, crack, crack
G                             C
Summer?s here, and I'm gonna crack
G                              Bm              C
Summer?s here, and I'm near a heart attack or flash
         Bm             C             Bm           C
of real feeling, teeth gnashing, and blasting and reeling
         G
through black.

                   G
?Cause, kids: When I first saw your mom
             Em
Well, I was right, and she was wrong
                C                            D
About just the kind of man she was bringing back.

     G
When I first met her dad
              Em
Well, I felt good, and he felt bad
                   C                               D
But, kids, you'll find that over time you're just trapped.

G                                 C
Spring is gone, and you're gonna gasp, gasp, gasp
G                                 C
Spring is gone, and you're gonna gasp
G
Gasp

                   G
And, friends: When I first saw the groom
               Em
Rise from the darkness of a tomb
         C                            D
I was unnerved, though overall I was wowed.
     G
When I first saw the bride
           Em
The look inside her eyes just cried,
             C                              D
?If someone has some cause to stop, say it now!?

G                                      C
Fall is here, and the leaves all come down, down, down
G                                      C
Fall is here, and the leaves all come down, down, down
G                                     C
Winter?s here, and it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
G                                     C
Winter?s here, and it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
G                                     C
Winter?s here, and it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
G                                     C
Winter?s here, and it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
G                                     C
Winter?s here, and it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
G                                     C
Winter?s here, and it's too cold to drown, drown, drown
G                                     C
Winter?s here, and the snow?s on the ground
G
Winter?s here, and I'm nearly whited-out,
C               Em              Am    C          D       G
Snowblind, it's no business of mine, life don't want me around.
