Hey World! Here is my interpretation of the chords in "I Was Once a Loyal Lover" by
Cab For Cutie off the Open Door EP. This is a song that all Death Cab fans should know how
play. I'm looking at the clock and it's 2:42am on a school night. I'm super tired but I 
couldn't sleep until I got this song out there ( Forgive me if I made a mistake, I'm
asleep right now.) Please contact me if you have any questions. Enjoy! -K.D.

(A, F#m, E, D, Bm, Dm, A* (played with the B string opened), D* (played with the E
opened))


 A (x02220@1)Will I have learned so very little
 F#m (244222@1)                D (xx0232@1)When these bones are old and brittle?
   A (x02220@1)I wait to talk when I should listen
     F#m (244222@1)               D (xx0232@1)And cloud mistakes with false revisions


 A (x02220@1)All my friends are forward-thinking
 F#m (244222@1)               D (xx0232@1)Getting hitched and quitting drinking
     A (x02220@1)And I can feel them pulling away
    Fm (133111@1)            D (xx0232@1)As I'm resigned to stay the same


     F#m (244222@1)     E (022100@1)  A (x02220@1)  E (022100@1) Bm (x24432@1)And you can't even begin to know
     F#m (244222@1)E (022100@1)        A (x02220@1)    E (022100@1)     Bm (x24432@1)     Dm (xx0231@1)How many times I've told myself "I told you so"

(play A, F#m, D)

 A (x02220@1)I was once a loyal lover
       F#m (244222@1)          D (xx0232@1)Whose lips did never seek another's
     A (x02220@1)But now each love's more like a match
   F#m (244222@1)               D (xx0232@1)A blinding spark that burns out fast


     A (x02220@1)And they all conclude with the same sentence:
        F#m (244222@1)             D (xx0232@1)" I've never met someone more self-centered
     A (x02220@1)Who thinks that life with a nice girl's like
 F#m (244222@1)         D (xx0232@1)Waiting for a bus to work"


     F#m (244222@1)     E (022100@1)  A (x02220@1)  E (022100@1) Bm (x24432@1)And you can't even begin to know
     F#m (244222@1) E (022100@1)        A (x02220@1)    E (022100@1)    Bm (x24432@1)     Dm (xx0231@1)How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
     F#m (244222@1)     E (022100@1)  A (x02220@1)   E (022100@1)    Bm (x24432@1)And you can't even begin to believe
            F#m (244222@1)   E (022100@1)     A (x02220@1)      E (022100@1)       Bm (x24432@1)Dm (xx0231@1)There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me

(play A, F#m, D) x2

 F#m (244222@1)          E (022100@1)If you deem it so
 D*                    A*
 Just cut the cord and go
 F#m (244222@1)      E (022100@1)You'll be fine
         D*                 E (022100@1)There's plenty of hills to climb

     F#m (244222@1)     E (022100@1)  A (x02220@1)        Bm (x24432@1)And you can't even begin to believe
