A haunting song from DeVotchKa's new album, 100 Lovers. Purely brilliant!
Intro (F-Am-F-C)
F
All your precious souls
Am
have been bought and sold
F
for bargain basement lows
C
to common criminals
F
Now you're having visions
Am
adverse flying conditions
F
overseas transmissions
C
to anyone who will listen
(repeat intro)
F
Waiting for the drums to kick in
Am
you want to free your earthbound limbs
F
I am gonna count to three
C
then you are leaving here with me
(Dm-Am-Gm-C)
Dm
Are we wasting all our precious time?
Am
Chasing dollars, chasing dimes
Gm
German, English, Japanese
C
And all the sand in all the sea
Dm
It's all in place, it's all laid out
Am
as we speak it's going down
Gm
Don't forget me, regretfully
C
Here's the part that always gets me
(repeat intro)
F
You float across the room
Am
your lips are in full bloom
F
pedals fall from your mouth
C
have you found me out?
F
We've been here before
Am
a lovers' civil war
F
I will wait religiously
C
don't forget that you came here with me
(Dm-Am-Gm-C)
Dm
Are we wasting all our precious time?
Am
Chasing dollars, chasing dimes
Gm
German, English, Japanese
C
And all the sand in all the sea
Dm
It's all in place, it's all laid out
Am
as we speak it's going down
Gm
Don't forget me, regretfully
C
Here's the part that always gets me
(repeat intro x3)
