Yo La Tengo - Black Flowers

      
 
 "Black Flowers" - Yo La Tengo
 - I'm Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass (2006)
 
 I think this sounds better if you transpose the chords down 7 half-steps and play with a
 capo on 7, but these are the chords to play without a capo.
 
 Intro and verse: G D Am Am7 C
 Gmaj7 G 
   
 
 G                          D  Am Am7 C Gmaj7 
  You can take what you can get
 
 G                   D  Am Am7 C Gmaj7 
  I forgive but I forget
 
 G D Am Am7 C Gmaj7 
       
 
 G                     D    Am Am7 C Gmaj7 
  You can never sleep enough
 
 G                        D  Am Am7 C Gmaj7 
  And your alarm is going off
 
     G                            
 You wake up and you can't pretend
 
   D                           
 A dream was just a dream again
 
 Am         Am7           C Gmaj7 
  Won't you dry your eyes?
 
        G                     
 But it doesn't matter anymore
 
     D                           
 You did just what you did before
 
 Am         Am7     C         
  Until you realize  the words
 
    Gmaj7       G 
 Go la la la la la
 
 (Repeat the intro a few times)
 
 You can dip your brain in joy
 When you find the real McCoy
 When some pretty boys with skinny ties
 With black flowers and Valentines
 Try to take you home
 Do you recognize that I
 Have stopped before you get too high
 On your own supplies
 Singing la la la la
 
     C            D     
 You want it, you got it
 
     Em            F   
 You can't take it home
 
 G         F           C 
 You got a long way to go
 
 G         D       Em           F   
 I wait forever to say that you will
 
 G          F        Em       C D 
 You have a heart to show, ohh
 
 G D Am Am7 C Gmaj7 G 
        
 
 Well you don't have to stay inside
 Don't have to run, don't have to hide
 Come dry your eyes
 You know you can always change your mind
 Maybe I will too in time
 Once we understand
 No one understands at all
 Singing la la la la
 Singing la la la la
