The Shins - Those Bold City Girls

      The Shins
Those Bold City Girls

A great Shins song, not very difficult though.
Listen to it to get the timing and the stroke patterns right.
Have fun,

Bm                           G
You slide out at night to show yourself
                     E
you mean to hang yourself on the wall
              F#               Bm
with the hems you call your friends.
                                  G
You've memorized a thousand lines and
             E
kissed a thousand guys but none packed
                                         F#  
more than wood.

G                    D                                        
And still you wake up, the taste of the 
C                         G       A               G
night before has grown somehow. 
                        D
You memorized your makeup, you're free from 
        C                         G       A   Asus4  A  G*  A  Asus4  A  G*  A  Asus4  A 
their eyes and all they laugh about.

Bm                              G
Sailboats that never float and lids of lead
                E
that hold your ego down. What's it take
    F#     Bm                    G
to bend the lens? Well as you can see I 
          E                   F#      D
really know but never can amend the trend
               A                        G
towards the rocks wielding the knives
                                        D
beneath your breast and all the the waves
             A            G
that never break within our sight. So come on
          A
treat me right.

G               D
If you could keep him you'd dub him
        C                           G         A      G
"The rock what aced 'em two to one" 
                              D
but the powder from your empty boxes
       C                                G        A        G
was ground from your whole empty youth.
               D                        
And so you wake up, the taste of the 
C                  G        A               G
night before has grown somehow. 
                      D
You take off your makeup, and you're free 
             C                   G       A   Asus4  A  G*  A  Asus4  A  G*  A  Asus4  A
from their eyes and all they laugh about.
