Tattered Line Of String Acoustic chords by The Postal Service

G            Em
We drained every night
         G         Em
In the lower East Side
           G                 Em             G        Em
And you failed to catch the train back to Queens
         G          Em
So you came to my room
               G                        Em
We did some things that we knew not to do
        G           Em            G            Em
In the glow of the nights golden hue


Chorus:

              C                D
You've got a tattered line of string
             Bm             G
That you've tied 'round everything
           C                D
That you want to call your own
        Bm              G
But it never seems to hold


Verse II

         G       Em
When we woke we agreed
        G               Em
That we would not ever speak
          G        Em                 G       Em
Of this night to anyone that we both knew
                G             Em
And you said, "Every time we kiss
        G                       Em
I felt something that could not exist"
         G                Em                   G       Em
And I confessed that I thought that I felt it too


Chorus:

                C               D
You've got a tattered line of string
            Bm            G
That you've tied 'round everything
                C                        Bm
That you want to call your own
         D              G
But it never seems to hold
