you’re the girl on the wing of a barnstormer , the tidal rabbit who came of

age before her time .

we could have been so good – natured if i’d relented when you insisted ,
Bm G D A
but we’ve been backed against all nature’s walls far too long .
Bm G D A
you felt abandoned by me , i recall the sunshine as you were melting
Bm G D A
and though the comedy softens the fall , they still hear us with their
G
ears to the wall .

i sold all my evil motives , no icicles stuck in my hide .
Bm G Bm G Bm
G D
i’m through with riddles , i know we’re little just help me feel warm
E
inside .
G D
before we take this ride and let it slide , into the cracks where fall and
G D
winter collide . i surrender all my gall in a song of modern love .
G D A
remember you’re the one who summoned me above any other kind .

first off , i’ve built on the previous version and filled in some vital missing chords ,
changed some wrong ones and amended the lyrics . so the ground work comes courtesy of the
other version .
now , you can play this with either barre chords or open , it doesn’t really matter . i
personally like to play it in barre chords , because in the verse , i like to go Bm , then
slide from the G back up to Bm . it sounds really good , although i don’t think the shins
do it that way .
listen to the song for the timings , how many bars etc , but it’s all fairly simple .
if playing open chords , you can quickly hammer on a pinky on the 3rd fret of the B
string at the end of the a chord ( making it an Asus4 ) in the pre chorusy section ( could have
been so good natured if i’d relented when you insisted ( hammer on ) ) etc . you can hear
this quite clearly in the song , adds a nice touch and makes it sound a little more
interesting on guitar .
the same goes for barre chords , although then you can just do a slight bend with your
middle finger at the end of the A .
