xSong: Sign the Dotted Line (Chris Knox cover)
Artist: Jeff Mangum
Album: Stroke
Intro: Eb
(Verse 1)
Eb
Let's descend through fog and rain
G# Eb
And see if we can find the same way out
G#
Of this whole mess
Eb
Its not as if we'd lose our lives
G# Eb
Or be impaled by carving knives just yet
G#
No, not unless
(Chorus 1)
G# A#
We sign the dotted line
G# A#
So everything will turn out fine
(Verse 2)
Eb
Let's just disregard what makes us tick
G# Eb
And act as if we're really thick and slow
G#
taking a hand
(Chorus 2)
G# A#
and sign the dotted line
G# A#
So everything will turn out fine
(Post Chorus 1)
G G#
And if its not what it appears to be
G
We'll get down on our bended knees
G#
And lick the shit of which they stand
A#
Until it shines.
(Verse 3)
Eb
Let's go away to somewhere new
G# Eb
where people haven't got a clue and blend
G#
into the crowd
(Chorus 3)
G# A#
And sign the dotted line
G# A#
So everything will turn out fine
(Post Chorus 2)
G G#
And if its not what its cracked up to be
G
?We'll sit in sick so passively?
G#
We'll smile and nod and be well dressed
A#
For our decline
Outtro
Eb G# Eb G# Eb G# Eb A# Eb
