Black and White by Parquet Courts (off Sunbathing Animal) This is the pattern for the intro, bridge, solo, outro, and parts of the verse. E G 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + Intro: E G (x12) Verse: G E Nothing makes my heart so wild as being G E G In possession of a potent night, E G Racing down the stairs in a nude descension E Shedding and discarding my hide G A C But the bold strokes crack so quickly and it?s A G Often that I wonder why E G Dripping at the slow motion rate of surrender E Hanging to my bones as they dry G D How could I want something more A than a new hell in which to fry G E G When I see in only black and white Bridge: E G (x4) Verse: G E There?s a sinful sort of side of being G E G so contained, A bit like being lost. E G Stumbling through the background like a small town loner E G quietly a whispering my thoughts into A C my cupped hands, folded and monk-like, A G at least thats what i?ve always said. E G How does writing letters from the lonely margins E feel when there is no hair on my head? G D A Is the solitude I seek a trap where i?ve been blindly led? G E G Tell me, where then do I go instead? Solo: E G (x13) Verse: G E When atonement comes in distant waves G E G I might wait until the next to break E G choking through forgiveness at a sun fly prompter E staring through the back of my face. G A C It?s a vulgar, hidden part of being A G tethered to the world right now; E G spending all my dollars to remain a member, E nothing in my eyes but a scowl. G D A Do i bother to define myself beyond what they allow? G E G Have I already forgotten how? Outro: E G (x3) Then hang on G for a while, then end on E.
