The District Sleeps Alone Tonight chords by The Postal Service

Chords with lyrics

Tabbed by: cybergeek_G

Tuning: Chord diagramE MajorE Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramD MajorD Chord diagramG+G Chord diagramBB Chord diagramE MajorE

Note: Due to the nature of the vocal rhythm (which is highly syncopated),
this TAB is organized in a manner that is easier to read.  Each vocal line
is divided to correspond to each line of music.  I advise that you listen to
the song for the rhythm of the vocals.


Intro
-----

Chord diagramC majorC - Chord diagramDmDm - Chord diagramA minorAm - Chord diagramA minorAm (x2)
Verse

Chord diagramC majorC - Chord diagramDmDm - Chord diagramA minorAm - Chord diagramA minorAm (x4)

Smeared black ink...
your palms are sweaty
And i'm barely listening
to last demands
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath


Interlude

Where I am...
[Chord diagramA augmentedA line without vocals]
Where I am...
[Chord diagramA augmentedA line without vocals]

Verse
-----

Chord diagramC majorC - Chord diagramDmDm - Chord diagramA minorAm - Chord diagramA minorAm (x6)

I'll wear my badge...
a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
That tells your new friends
i am a visitor here... I am not permanent
And the only thing
keeping me dry is
Chorus
------

(Where I am)[Repeats throughout chorus]

Chord diagramFF - Chord diagramC majorC - Chord diagramG+G - Chord diagramG+G (x4)

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
Chord diagramA augmentedA stranger with your door key explaining that i am just visiting
And i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving

Chorus

(Where I am)[Repeats throughout chorus]

Chord diagramFF - Chord diagramC majorC - Chord diagramG+G - Chord diagramG+G (x10)

You seem so so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex
Chord diagramA augmentedA stranger with your door key explaining that i am just visiting
And i am finally seing why i was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving

The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
And i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving

Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving
