Beautiful Small Machines - The Wretched Sound Of City Cars

      Shout-Outs to Riffstation and my guitar teacher Bobby Murillo for doing most of the work on this
tab.

Capo on 3rd Fret (also sounds fine without capo if your voice is lower)

Pattern is D, D, U, U, D, U, D, D (U) - sometimes you hear the final up strum but often not.
You can get away with never playing it

Most of the time the singing starts AFTER strumming the chord once or twice

                              D                                        
I woke up this morning to the wretched sound of city cars

 AM                                     C                             
The cheek print on my pillow smelled of aftershave and old guitars

 G                     D                                                               
So another day comes through my window creeping

   Am                                  C                                                
And I'm old enough to know that it's much too late for sleeping

G   D   Cx2   G

                                     D                                                       
Cameras, cloaks, and daggers guard a heart upon a hidden shelf

Am                                  C                                       
But no protection's better than the secret wall you build yourself

 G                           D                                              
And no persuasion, trick, or trade can lead you from your home

  Am                                                                                   
Save the hand of love

C                               G                                                      
Even she can't keep you long


                 D                  Am                                                
I keep lying to myself

C                                G                                                               
And everybody, everybody

  D                              Am                                                                                    
I keep lying to myself

C                      G                                                               
And everybody, everybody else

                        D                                     Am                                                     
Oh, seduction's like the smoke around my fingertips

                                  C                                                                            
You know cigarettes can kill you, but they look good hanging from your lips

G                       D                                                                     
And buried deep between the darkness and the dawn

Am                                                      C                      G 
Is where I thought I'd try to keep you 'neath a spell of fire and song


                     Am                                                                                      
But I keep lying to myself

C                       G                                                             
And everybody, everybody

D                 Am                                                                
I keep lying to myself

C                     G                                                              
And everybody, everybody

D                Am                                                              
I keep lying to myself

C                      G                                                               
And everybody, everybody else

D                Am                                                             
I keep lying to myself

C                      G                                                              
And everybody, everybody else

Everybody, everybody else

I've been lying to myself

You're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?

                     G                                                             
You're so far away

Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?
