Death Cab For Cutie - Ingenue
Standard tuning
Intro:
G
Verse 1:
G
Ingénue what have we done to you?
C
Under that soft skin
G
I hear a ticking
The currency of being twenty-three
C
It turns from gold to dust
G
When you crest the wave of lust
Chorus:
G
So take all you can
From the mouth of man
Verse 2:
G
Ingénue framed like a cartoon
C
The borders clear and defined
G
The colors bold and bright
G
You'll want to be taken more seriously
C
But they just play a cue
G
And it's such a hard thing to do
Chorus:
Em
So take all you can
D
From the mouth of man
Em
And escape from this town
C
Before your sand runs out
G
Before your sand runs out
G C
G C
Verse 3:
G
Ingénue, what will become of you?
C
When age's glacial pace
G
Cuts valleys into your face
G
The currency of being twenty-three
C
It will remain the same
G
Just by another name
Oh, Ingénue
What will you do?
Em
Oh, Ingénue
C
What have we done to you?
G
