    I Think Youre A Contra

I got the chords from watching Ezra use his 12 string acoustic at Pitchfork. Very 
simple, and accurate. These are meant as an accompaniment to Rostam on keyboard. Enjoy!

G         C      G D              G C G D
I had a feeling once that you and I------
 G                      C  G  D          G C G D
Could tell each other everything for two months
          G       C G D         G          C G D
But even with our oath,  with truth on our side
          G             C G D            G C G D
When you turn away from me,    it's not right

                 G C G D
I think you're a Contra
                 G C G D
I think you're a Contra
                 G C G D
I think you're a Contra
                 G C G D
I think you're a Contra

        G      C G D                  G       C G D
My revolution thoughts, your little arrows of desire
            G                C G D         G C G D
I want to trace them to the source and the wire
              G     C G D                G               C G D
But it's not useful now     since we've both made up our minds
           G             C G D               G C G D
You gonna watch out for yourself and so will I

                  G C G D
I think you're a Contra
                        G C G D
and I think that you've lied
 G             C G D
Don't call me Contra
              G C G D
'Til you've tried

             G                C
You wanted good schools and friends with pools
 G             D
You're not a Contra
             G               C
You wanted rock and roll, complete control
 G              D
Well, I don't know


  G          C            G             D
Never pick sides, never choose between two
G                  C      G           D
But I just wanted you, I just wanted you
            G          C            G             D
You said "Never pick sides, never choose between two"
        G          C      G           D
But I just wanted you, I just wanted you

              G C G D
I think ur a Contra
                        G C G D
and I think that you've lied
                 G C G D
Don't call me a Contra
             G C G D G
'Til you've tried

end on G
