White chords by Okkervil River

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.
