• Song:

    Lover I Dont Have To Love

  • Artist:

    Bright Eyes

I noticed that there were other tabs on here that either weren't correct or didn't 
do the whole song... So here's the whole song to the best of my ability, my first 
tab. I'm not 100% sure about the last part of the song (you write such pretty 
words...etc) but this is what works for me, so I thought I'd share! Enjoy <3

Am G C F E

Am           G
I picked you out 
C    F                
Of a crowd to talk to you 
Am                G
Said I liked your shoes 
C        F
You said thanks can I follow you? 
Am             G
So it's up the stairs 
C                F
And out of view, no prying eyes 
Am            G
I poured some wine 
C            F                  E
I asked your name you asked the time


Am             G
Now it's two o'clock, 
C           F
the club is closed we're up the block
Am            G
Your hands on me 
C             F
Pressing hard against your jeans
Am                G
Your tongue in my mouth 
C                  F
Trying to keep the words from coming out
Am                 G
You didn't care to know 
C            F             E
Who else may have been you before

Am               G
I want a lover I don't have to love 
C                      F
I want a girl who's to sad to give a fuck
Am              G
Where's the kid with the chemicals?
C                            F
I thought he said to meet him here but I'm not sure
Am                     G
I got the money if you got the time 
C                 F                          E
You said it feels good I said I'll give it a try

Am                G
Then my mind went dark 
C              F                      
We both forgot where your car was parked 
Am                  G
Let's just take the train
C                     F
I'll meet up with the band in the morning
Am      G       C       F
Bad actors with bad habits 
Am         G                  C     F
Some sad singers  They just play tragic
Am              E
And the phone's ringing 
C             F
And the van's leaving 
Am            G
Let's just keep touching
C               F        E
Let's just keep keep singing


Am               G
I want a lover I don't have to love
C                     F
I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk
Am                       E
Where's the kid with the chemicals
C                    F
I got a hunger and I can't seem to get full
Am                        G
I need some meaning I can memorize
C                      F                E
The kind I have always seems to slip my mind
But you but you


G          Am         C 
You write such pretty words
G          Am          C
But life's no story book 
             G    C     Am
Love is an excuse to get hurt 
       E
And to hurt 
"Do you like to hurt?"
"I do! I do!"
          Am
"Then hurt me."
