Fall Of 82

Fall of '82- The Shins

Verse 1: 

D    C#m              G       A
I do relate to you in so many ways
D               C#m                   E                  A
But I didn't go through what you must have in those early days
D             A                E          F#m
You had to be strong at such a very young age
      D       E      A
A new life on Ilima Lane

Chorus: 
             D            C
So won't you listen to me now
A   G             A
something I never told you
    G            D
And I'm about to try
                C                           E
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding

Same as verse 1: 

You moved back in with us in the fall of '82
I fell into dark times and you were there to help me through
You told me that a downturn would eventually improve
And you were right, so I'm thanking you

Same as Chorus: 

So won't you listen to me now
Something I never told you
And I'm about to try       
                                            E     A    
See you were my lifeline when the world was exploding
A         E   A
Footholds eroding

        D     A       E
Had you never been my friend
D          A  D              A
I wouldn't be quite what you see
D          A            E
I wouldn't be the man I am

Trumpet Solo 

A             D
Sister you've known me
          A
Lost in a strange world
            D
What has it shown me
                 A
What has it gone through
               D
Sister you've known me
               A
Been lost in a strange world
           D
But has it shown me
                 A
What has it gone through

Same as Verses 1 and 2: 

October chill in that old dusty town
Halloween came, I was still feeling down
Mama, lost my sweet tooth, what's the point in going 'round?
Your boy is losing count
Maybe try the lost and found
