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,

B5                               G5
You slide out at night to show yourself
                     E5
you mean to hang yourself on the wall
              Fis                           B5
with the hems you call your friends.
                                  G5
You've memorized a thousand lines and
             E5
kissed a thousand guys but none packed
                                          Fis
more than wood.

G5                    D5                                        
And still you wake up, the taste of the 
C5                         G5       A5               G5
night before has grown somehow. 
                  D5
You memorized your makeup, you're free from 
        C5                         G5       A5   A5  A5  G5 *  A5  A5  A5  G5 *  A5  A5  A5 
their eyes and all they laugh about.

B5                        G5
Sailboats that never float and lids of lead
            E5
that hold your ego down. What's it take
    Fis          B5                   G5
to bend the lens? Well as you can see I 
          E5                         Fis            D5
really know but never can amend the trend
             A5                    G5
towards the rocks wielding the knives
                                D5
beneath your breast and all the the waves
           A5              G5
that never break within our sight. So come on
        A5
treat me right.



Instrumental
B5 ? G5 ? E- F5 (2x)

G5              D5
If you could keep him you'd dub him
        C5                      G5         A5      G5
"The rock what aced 'em two to one" 
                        D5
but the powder from your empty boxes
       C5                        G5        A5        G5
was ground from your whole empty youth.
             D5                  
And so you wake up, the taste of the 
C5               G5        A5               G5
night before has grown somehow. 
                  D5
You take off your makeup, and you're free 
           C5                     G5       A5   A5  A5  G5 *  A5  A5  A5  G5 *  A5  A5  A5
from their eyes and all they laugh about.
