Chords with lyrics
[Intro]
E MajorE (2h4 on A augmentedA first time, then add 2h4p2 on D MajorD string second time for the little riff)
[Verse 1]
E MajorE
Don't tell me that the west has won;
C# minorC#m BB
we worked hard to reverse that notion.
E MajorE
Closer than anyone, but we're not for each other, no:
C# minorC#m BB
I've got to crack my eyes to watch the wind blow.
[Chorus 1]
A augmentedA
Cat's Cradle is a fable, we all know that.
C# minorC#m BB
Soon as I can I will slide that under the table.
A augmentedA
I met your mother and your father & I liked them;
C# minorC#m
they bicker the way we bicker,
BB E MajorE
the way we bicker.
E MajorE
[Verse 2]
E MajorE
A augmentedA black cat just snuck up on me;
C# minorC#m BB
activities and distractions are my remedy.
E MajorE
You're writing by lamp light, you're writing by the moon rise:
C# minorC#m BB
a stark contrast to the Montclairian buzz skies.
[Chorus 2]
A augmentedA
Cat's Cradle is a fable, we all know that.
C# minorC#m BB
Soon as I can I will slide that under the table.
A augmentedA
I met your mother and your father & I liked them;
C# minorC#m
they bicker the way we bicker,
BB
back when our blood was thicker than oil
A augmentedA
& the soil was in every spark & every plug
C# minorC#m BB
& everything. My departure made my nerves sting.
A augmentedA C# minorC#m BB
It's leaving a person place or thing you know you shouldn't.
[Bridge]
A augmentedA BB C# minorC#m
On jet lag: I'm past that.
E MajorE
Plainly, none of this is that bad.
A augmentedA BB
He said, "let me be clear this woman's crazy."
C# minorC#m E MajorE
I caught a glimpse of your truth as you turned to me
A augmentedA BB C# minorC#m E MajorE
& it was kind & it was stubborn, just like I'd like mine to be
A augmentedA BB C# minorC#m
so I will dissuade, I will just sleep.
[Outro]
E MajorE A augmentedA BB C# minorC#m
I can be patient, probably.
E MajorE A augmentedA BB C# minorC#m
I can be patient, probably.
E MajorE A augmentedA BB
