 Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career
 
 Intro: D - Em (x3)
 
     D                        
 You kissed me on the forehead
           Em                       
 Now these kisses give me consussion
 D                          
 We were love at first sight
          Em               
 Now this crush is crushing
   F#m                                              Em   
 I retraced your steps through the city of romance lazily
   F#m                                        
 I took to the desert with your harshest words
          Em      
 And they saved me
 
      D                        Em             
 I'll bail you out again; I've got the readies
     D                         Em              
 I'm not a child; I know we're not going steady
      F#m            
 Your pain's gigantic
                        Em 
 But not as big as your ego
   F#m                       
 I promise not to abandon you
               Em 
 Please let me go
 
 Interlude:
 
 D - Em (x2)
 
   D                        
 I harbored worried feelings
                Em              
 Like they were worth protecting
 D                                   
 You say I'm too kind and sentimental
                Em             
 Like you could catch affection
         F#m                          
 In your eyes there's a sadness enough
                    Em 
 To kill the both of us
           F#m            
 Are those eyes overrated?
                                 Em  
 They make me want to give up on love
 
       D                             
 I'll brace myself for the loneliness
             Em                    
 Say hello to feeling that I detest
      D                                 
 This maudlin carrer must come to an end
         Em                  
 I don't want to be sad again
       D                                
 This maudlin career must come to an end
         Em                  
 I don't want to be sad again
       D                                
 This maudlin career must come to an end
         Em                  
 I don't want to be sad again

 I don't want to be sad again
       D                                
 This maudlin career must come to an end
