It's my first tab, I just listened to Birdy's version and thought those chords
fit, but if you find some mistakes, please correct me :)
Birdy (orig. by Postal Service) - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
No Capo
[Intro]
C F Am Am
C F Am Am
C F Am Am
C F Am Am
[Verse 1]
C F Am Am
Smeared black ink
C F Am
Your face is ashen and I'm barely listening
C F Am
To last demands
C F
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
Am Am
What's buried underneath
[Chorus]
C F G G
Where I am
C F G G
Where I am
[Verse 2]
C F Am Am
I'll wear my badge
C F Am
A vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
C F Am
That tells your new friends
C F
I am a visitor here
Am
I am not permanent
C F Am
And the only thing
C F Am
Keeping me dry is
[Chorus]
C F G G
Where I am (In this gaudy apartment complex)
[You seem so out of context]
C F G G
Where I am (Explaining that I am just visiting)
[A stranger with your door key]
C F G G
Where I am (why I was the one worth leaving)
[And I am finally seeing]
F C
(Why I was the one worth leaving)
Am G F
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
Am G F D
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
[Chorus]
C F G G
Where I am (In this gaudy apartment complex)
[You seem so out of context]
C F G G
Where I am (Explaining that I am just visiting)
[A stranger with your door key]
C F G G C
Where I am (why I was the one worth leaving)
[And I am finally seeing]
F C
(Why I was the one worth leaving)
[Bridge]
Am F G ( Dm ) Am
The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
F G Am
And leave the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
Am F G F Am
And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
G F C
Why I was the one worth leaving
G F C
Why I was the one worth leaving
G F C
Why I was the one worth leaving
[Outro]
F Dm Am7 C
