Manchester Orchestra - Jimmy He Whispers

song : jimmy , he whispers
artist : manchester orchestra
album : mean everything to nothing

there’s a similar chord version on here , except for some reason they had the
chords transposed way down and the capo way high up , which i thought was a bit
unnecessary . here’s an easier version .

capo 3rd fret

Am

Am G/B C
god knows you’re on my mind
Dm F Am
i can’t try to tell him otherwise
Am G/B C
god knows it’s only time
Dm F Am
before i break the chain in my eyes
Am G/B C
fear keeps you hiding at night
Dm F Am
and the creatures play ball outside
Am G/B C
chances are slim we are right
Dm F Am
but i’d never think it any otherwise
Am G/B C
so we’ll find the answers in time
Dm F Am
and the bodies pile up sky high
Am G/B C
and ill sail this ship towards the sky
Dm F Am
but ill end all alone on the other side
Am G/B C
and if you could pull that rope just a little higher
Dm F Am
we would dangle alone like a firefly

Am G/B C
so jimmy i’ve heard the voice of god
Dm F Am
and he whispered fear is logical
Dm F Am
and he said it’s magic , wonderful
Dm F Am
and he swears to him it’s wonderful
Dm F Am
and the lake you speak of is magical
Dm F Am
so i skip stones on it , practical
Dm F Am
and i make sure we’re both wonderful

Dm F Am
you’re a brother and that’s alright ( x3 )
Dm F Am
we’re brothers it makes it right
Dm F Am
cuz his blood is so red in spite
Dm F Am
of the way that our sharp teeth bite
Dm F Am
oh the way that our sharp teeth bite
Dm F Am
in each other during the night
Dm F Am
with the creatures that play outside
Dm F Am
we’re the creatures that play outside

Am G/B C
cuz jimmy i’ve heard the voice of god
Dm F Am
and he whispered fear is logical
Dm F Am
and the words that we heard aren’t repeatable
Dm F Am
with a thought that could kill comprehendable

Dm F Am
and we’re brothers and that’s alright [ x3 ]
Dm F Am
yeah , we’re brothers until we die
