Conor Oberst & the Mystic Valley Band – I Gotta Reason, Pt II.
From the album 'Outer South' due out 5th of May 2009.
Ok, I found these chords on the Compare&Contrast messageboard [Thanks to whoever worked
out; added the verse & Chorus lyrics; also, there's a fill from the live version you can
at the end on every Am, just pick the chord descending, pulling off the string-to open-
time; listen for it on the live version; that's pretty much it. B5 seems pretty
with Bm; might be something wrong with D5 as well; see what you think.
intro- G, Am [hammer on D to E then pull off the C to B]
G Am
you know a lot can happen after everybody falls asleep
G Am
ask the forest fire, ask the cop walking on the beat
C G
and do right by them, work a little in your dreams
Cm D
don't let time rob you, hold onto your memories
G Am
in the glass houses, in the pages of the rolling stone
G Am
I get a sick feeling, like I’m rocking in a little boat
C G
hear the big church bell, it's ringing like a mobile phone
Cm D
such a long Sunday drive, and I’m taking it all alone
(Pre &) CHORUS
B5 C5 D5
I wanna belong to a reason
B5 C5 G
and cut a new key to the kingdom
D C
and if anybody asks me, say I wanna belong
D C
if anybody asks me, say that it won't take long
D C
if anybody asks me, say I’m gonna get this done
D C
if anybody asks me, say I got a reason
G Am
In a vast hard-drive, in the satellites that kick and spin
G Am
They keep the old footage, so everything can live again
C G
Pretty pink roses, the ostrich and the elephant
Cm D
It’s the last Noah’s ark, so everything’s gotta fit.
G Am
In the creased pages, of a letter I’ve been trying to send
G Am
To a young widow, how is desperate for some kind of friend
C G
You’ll find a long list of, eligible handsome men
Cm D
Who want to lay with her, up on the {table of the elements}
REPEAT CHORUS!
