this is my very first guitar tab and i’ve been playing for about a year now . anyway , it
sounds right to me . the ending sounds a bit off , though . enjoy!
“loose leaves” by bright eyes
C
the story is in the soil
F G
loose leaves cover the ground
C F G
there are volumes in the forest no one reads out loud
Em G
if i could take them down off of that mountain shelf . . . we used to climb but
no one tries to go up that far now
C F G
yeah , we’re all too busy working , entertaining ourselves
C F G
40 hours , television and prescription pills
Em G
well , i take two a day to make my brain behave
it never does but who is to say , at least my doctor gets paid
C F G
so that is fine , yeah come by , we’ll take the afternoon off
C F G
we can kiss and undress or if you want just talk
Em G
’cause i’ve got nothing real , just empty space to fill
and you are my girl , i like your style , just imagine all the time we could kill
F G Em
and time is not poison but once you drink it all you’ll die
Em Am
so lets just sip it real slow , yeah , we can nurse it all night
C
try to believe that once it’s gone they will pour another round
we will come back to life
we’ll come right back
C F G
it’s all moving fast now , yeah , and that’s what they say
C F G
and though some days still take forever i can’t disagree
Em G
because it seems to me that i wake up and sleep , look in the mirror and
have no idea what happened in between
C F G
but i remember counting days down until the year could be done
C F G
so i could scatter all my notebooks on the prep school lawn
Em G
and disappear again into a summer’s bliss of staying out and sleeping in
and getting drunk with my friends
C F G
and that’s gone and i know that it won’t ever come back
i accept
C F G
i won’t cling to what i had in the past
Em
but life is a slippery slope
regret is the steepest hill
G
hope for the best
Em G
plan for the worst and maybe wind up somewhere in the middle
F G
and i’m not saying that i know what i want
Em Am
but i know what i don’t , don’t want to rot in my room and never know what
C
could have been , believe what everyone else tells me is true
[ rest is C , i think ]
they will say ’true’
that is what they’ll say
that’s it
believe what everyone else tells me is true
they will say ’true’
that is what they’ll say
that’s it
