Elliott Smith - Placeholder

tuned 1/2 step down

A E G
lookin at all the rows
D F
all these records like big zero’s
A A/G F
got your picture on the back of A 45’
A A/G F
a placeholder till you take up mine
A A/G F
a placeholder till you take up mine
A E
i’m the person you’ll never need
G D F
the biggest loser on 16th street
A A/G F
the invisable man with the see through mind
A A/G F
a placeholder till you take up mine
A A/G F
a placeholder till you take up mine
A E F
break off in someones laughter
C
you can tell right there
C
he’s still a square
A E F
he likes the way that you look now
C C A G F
like an open book
( a little break part or something . it’s the same chords as the chorus )

A A/G F
A A/G F

A E
just like my favorite song
G D
some pretty words that didn’t last that long
F A A/G F
like a package sent priority , overnight
A A/G F
placeholder can you take up mine
A A/G F
placeholder can you take up mine
A A/G F
placeholder come and take up mine
A A/G F
placeholder come and take up mine
