xThe Shins
Those Bold City Girls
A great Shins song, not very difficult though.
Listen to it to get the timing and the stroke patterns right.
Have fun,

Bm G
You slide out at night to show yourself
E
you mean to hang yourself on the wall
Fis Bm
with the hems you call your friends.
G
You've memorized a thousand lines and
E
kissed a thousand guys but none packed
Fis
more than wood.
G D
And still you wake up, the taste of the
C G A G
night before has grown somehow.
D
You memorized your makeup, you're free from
C G A Asus4 A G* A Asus4 A G* A Asus4 A
their eyes and all they laugh about.
Bm G
Sailboats that never float and lids of lead
E
that hold your ego down. What's it take
Fis Bm G
to bend the lens? Well as you can see I
E Fis D
really know but never can amend the trend
A G
towards the rocks wielding the knives
D
beneath your breast and all the the waves
A G
that never break within our sight. So come on
A
treat me right.
Instrumental
Bm – G – E- Fm (2x)
G D
If you could keep him you'd dub him
C G A G
"The rock what aced 'em two to one"
D
but the powder from your empty boxes
C G A G
was ground from your whole empty youth.
D
And so you wake up, the taste of the
C G A G
night before has grown somehow.
D
You take off your makeup, and you're free
C G A Asus4 A G* A Asus4 A G* A Asus4 A
from their eyes and all they laugh about.
D
G* = Picked
