The 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.

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.
