• Song:

    Civilian

  • Artist:

    Wye Oak

Tune to Drop D
Capo on 3

Hammer ons on most of the chords. The timing of switching to the AM and the little 
bridge that goes with it seems to be the hardest part of the song to play while singing.

Em (022000@1)	DI (xx0232@1)am nothing without pretend
	AmI (x02210@1)know my faults
	CCan't (x32010@1)live with them

Em (022000@1)	DI (xx0232@1)am nothing without a man
	AmI (x02210@1)know my thoughts
	CBut (x32010@1)I can't hide them

Em (022000@1)	DI (xx0232@1)still keep my baby teeth
	Am (x02210@1)	CIn (x32010@1)the bedside table with my jewelry

Em (022000@1)	DYou (xx0232@1)still sleep in the bed with me,
  Am (x02210@1)	CMy (x32010@1)jewelry, and my baby teeth

I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with
I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand,
but I still can't kiss my own neck

I wanted to give you everything
but I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mothers did
