Australia - The Shins | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
E

[Verse 1]
---------------------
             C#m                   F#m
Born to multiply? Born to gaze into   night skies?
              A        G#m     F#m
All you want's one more   Saturday
E
 Well look here until then
C#m                   F#m
   They gonna buy your   life's time
             A                             G#m           F#m
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
B
 'Til the day
                     E
We come in doing cartwheels

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
                       B
We all crawl out by ourselves
                            E
And your shape on the dance floor
                           B
Will have me thinking such filth and gouge my eyes
          C#m          A
You'll be damned to be one of us, girl
C#m                 A
   Faced with the dodo's conundrum
E F#m                       A
I    felt like I could just fly
    G#m                           B
But nothing happened every time I tried
Wooo, ooooh! Wooo, ooooh!

[Verse 2]
---------------------
E
 A duotone on the wall
C#m                            F#m
   Selfless fool who hoped he'd   save us all
            A       G#m        F#m
Never dreamt of such   sterile hands
E
 You keep 'em folded in your lap
C#m                    F#m
   And raise them up to   beg for scraps
              A
You know he's holding you down
             G#m          F#m B
with the tips   of his fingers just the same
                                E
Well, you'll be pulled from the ocean

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
                      B
But just a minute too late
                  E
Or changed by a potion
                          B
And find a handsome young mate for you to love
          C#m                          A
You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes
        C#m                              A        E
You know   you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe
F#m                       A
   Well do it now or grow old
                G#m                          B
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold

[Solo]

G#m | F#m | E   | C#m | F#m 
A   | G#m | F#m 

[Bridge]
---------------------
B
 Been alone since you were twentyone
E
 You haven't laughed since January
B
 You try and make like this is so much fun
E
 But we know it to be quite contrary
B
 Lalalalalalalala
C#m        A
Dare to be one of us, girl
C#m                 A
   Faced with the android's conundrum
E F#m                     A
I felt like I should just cry

[Interlude]
---------------------
    G#m                          A
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin
       G#m                                  A
You're Himmler in your coat, you don't know how long I have been
G#m
Watching the lantern dim
A G#m
  Starved of oxygen
A   F#m                             A        B
 So give me your hand and let's jump out the window

[Outro]
