Okkervil River - Our Life Is Not A Movie Or Maybe

there’s a tab on here that’s pretty close , but it’s still a little off .

this one appears to be right , according to my ears and a youtube video of the band
playing the song .

capo 5th fret , all chords relative to capo .

D xx0232
G 320033
Bm x24432
A x02220

note : it appears from the video that the guitarist leaves the root out of the Bm , so
it’s : xx4432 .

the intro and verse are mostly palm – muted , then it opens up in the chorus .

intro : D

verse :

D G Bm A
it’s just a bad movie ,

Bm A
where there’s no crying .

D G
handing the key to me ,

Bm A
in this red lion .

chorus :

G D G Bm A
when the breath that you breathed in the street screams there’s no science .

G D G Bm A
when you look how you looked then to me , then i cease lying

G D G Bm A
and fall into silence .

that’s it! the timing of his vocals is a little strange , especially in the later
choruses , so watch out for that .
