Manchester Orchestra - Do You Really Like Being Alone

this is the version from the fourteen years of excellence ep . couldn’t find this version
anywhere , so here it is . it sounds to me like he’s strumming the guitar with his
fingers instead of a pick in the recording . so , do that . or don’t . whatever sounds best .

G
C
so ill dig a hole in my room
D C G
from birmingham and back again for you
C
in the end they say well see the truth
D C G
what a shocking beauty we can both abuse
C
so i folded my hands into a bird
D C
the shadows made you laugh
G
they made you sunburned
C
and i stitched my faith into your shirt
D C G
to make sure nobody but me was getting hurt
C
and you love being cast as the fool
D C G
in a movie no one ever pays to sit through
C

G
C
and the lord made me confront my past
D C G
we asked each other to explain the mess
C
i believed with enough good id mend
D C G
but any good i had was always simply tempered
C
and i tried hard to sing like they did
D C G
with my arms raised in the air i was praising
