Band: Bright Eyes Song: Laura Laurent Album: The Story's In The Soil Tabber: Ryan Romero Tuning: Standred G Am D G Laura are you still livin' there on your estate of sorrows? G Am D G You used to leave it occasionally but now you don't even bother G Am D G to ride the commuter train west to Chicago G Am D G to stroll through the greenery in the park past the statues Bm Em C D how her eyes seemed to follow you, like a hated addiction Bm Em C their beauty carved out of absolutes you could never claim D or even envision G Am D G Laura you were the saddest song in the shape of a woman G Am D G yeah I thought you were beautiful but I wept with your movements G Am D G but I hope that you're laughing now from that place on the carpet G Am D G where we shared a sleeping bag in your sister's apartment G Am D G oh how she would worry so, you know I was just a stranger G Am G but she asked me to care for you, yes she did D and I went and betrayed her Bm Em C D But do you know we're in high demand, Laura, us, people who suffer? Bm Em C D because we don't take to arguing and we're quick to surrender. G Am D G Well I think I would call tonight if I still had your number G Am D G your thoughts have always laid close to mine, and we're both skipping supper. G Am D G But you should never be embarrassed by your trouble with living G Am 'Cause it's the ones with the sorest throats, Laura, D G who have done the most singing LAlalalalalalLalalALalAlala
