tiny vessels by death cab for cutie

capo 2nd fret

Em C/D Em
this is the moment that you know
Am C/D Em
that you told her that you loved her but you don’t .
G Em
you touch her skin and then you think
C Am Em
that she is beautiful but she don’t mean a thing to me .
C Am Em
yeah , she is beautiful but she don’t mean a thing to me .

Em C/D Em
i spent two weeks in silverlake
Am Em
the california sun cascading down my face
G Em
there was a girl with light brown streaks
C Am Em
and she was beautiful but she didn’t mean a thing to me .
C Am Em
yeah she was beautiful but she didn’t mean a thing to me .

Am C A7 Am
i wanted to believe in all the words that i was speaking
C G D
as we moved together in the dark
Am Em
and all the friends that i was telling
Am C
and all the playful misspellings
Em C D
and every bite i gave you left a mark

Am C A7
tiny vessels oozed into your neck
Am
and formed the bruises
G Em D
that you said you didn’t want to fade
Am Am C Em
but they did and so did i that day

Em C/D
all i see are dark grey clouds
Am C/D Em
in the distance moving closer with every hour
G Em
so when you ask “was something wrong?”
C
that i think “you’re damn right there is ,
Am Em
but we can’t talk about it now .
Am C
no , we can’t talk about it now . ”

Em C/D Em
so one last touch and then you’ll go
Am C/D Em
and we’ll pretend that it meant something so much more
Am Em
but it was vile , and it was cheap
C Am Em
and you are beautiful but you don’t mean a thing to me
C Am Em
yeah you are beautiful but you don’t mean a thing to me [ x2 ]
