A haunting song from DeVotchKa's new album, 100 Lovers. Purely brilliant!

Intro (F-Am-F-C)

F
All your precious souls
          Am
have been bought and sold
            F
for bargain basement lows
          C
to common criminals

           F
Now you're having visions
         Am
adverse flying conditions
    F
overseas transmissions
   C
to anyone who will listen

(repeat intro)

                F
Waiting for the drums to kick in 
                      Am
you want to free your earthbound limbs
           F
I am gonna count to three
             C
then you are leaving here with me

(Dm-Am-Gm-C)

Dm
Are we wasting all our precious time?
Am
Chasing dollars, chasing dimes
Gm
German, English, Japanese
C
And all the sand in all the sea
Dm
It's all in place, it's all laid out
Am
as we speak it's going down
Gm
Don't forget me, regretfully 
C 
Here's the part that always gets me

(repeat intro)

          F
You float across the room
              Am
your lips are in full bloom
            F
pedals fall from your mouth 
         C
have you found me out?

           F
We've been here before
          Am
a lovers' civil war
            F
I will wait religiously 
                  C
don't forget that you came here with me

(Dm-Am-Gm-C)

Dm
Are we wasting all our precious time?
Am
Chasing dollars, chasing dimes
Gm
German, English, Japanese
C
And all the sand in all the sea
Dm
It's all in place, it's all laid out
Am
as we speak it's going down
Gm
Don't forget me, regretfully 
C 
Here's the part that always gets me
