The Antlers - The Universe is Going to Catch You
Album: In the Attic of the Universe (2007)
There already exists a tab for this song, but it's got some chords wrong and some missing, so I thought I'd
improve it a bit.

Am Bm Em G x2
Am
It's been a long time coming
Bm
It's not up for debate
Em
You've been a hollowed-out apple
G
Though you're standing up straight
Am
It's later than you think
Bm
And we're not going to wait
Em
If you continue to tell us
G
If you continue to tell us
G G/F# Em D C G D
The uuuuuuuuuuuuu-niverse is going to catch you
G G/F# Em D C G D
The uuuuuuuuuuuuu-niverse is going to catch you
|G G/F# |Em D |C |G |D | x2
Am Bm Em G x2
Am
Well, it was fine until you fell off
Bm
Of the face of the Earth
Em
Because we would call you at home
G
And no one picked up the phone
Am
But we were worried that you'd fallen
Bm
In the river, or worse
Em
But then you sent us back a letter
G
It said in capital letters
G G/F# Em D C G D
The uuuuuuuuuuuuu-niverse is going to catch you
G G/F# Em D C G D
The uuuuuuuuuuuuu-niverse is going to catch you
|G G/F# |Em D |C |G |D | x2
G G/F# Em D
Come back inside to this house, to your home
C G C G D
Made of steel-structured styrofoam, nobody's out there
G G/F# Em D
But someone is singing you back to your birthplace
C G C G D
That voice is the same voice you heard on the same night
G G/F# Em D
That everything glowed, took you into the air
C G C G D
And the arms of the universe kept you from falling
G G/F# Em D
But after that happened those arms did not come back
C G C G D
So when you leapt up and nobody caught you, your neck broke
