Some Slender Rest Acordes

basic chords
 
Capo: 2nd fret
 
 
C                  G     F
And I’m a go make my bed 
                   C
Tuck in the other side 
                       G    F
These confessions are mine 
                      C
But I’ll not claim a word 
 
C
This restless parade 
                     F
Yes I watched it go by
                          C
Through the cracks in my palm 
                G
Seen them all gone 
                   C
Some sequence of lives 
 
C
Well she calls out alone 
                      F
With the pain in her voice 
                   C
It’s the wound of betrayal 
                     G
It’s the weapon of choice 
 
                      C
Left her heart on display 
                   F
Though that she’ll deny 
                C
Two tattoos of skin 
                   G
One of ice one of tin 
                       C    C7
For the days have gone by 
 
   Am        F            C
But I ain’t one to reminisce 
     Am       F                   C      G
But close my heart and clench my fists 
 
                      C
Now the days swiftly pass 
                        F
With the chest full of fear 
                      C
Here the minutes are hours
                     G
But the moments are years 
 
 
                       C
And old acquaintances passed 
              F
In trios, in pairs 
                         C
And if they stay or they go 
                  G
One struggles to know 
                  C      C7
One struggles to care 
 
    Am       F               C
But out beyond the Ten Tree walls 
     Am         F                C
The wind blows hard the highway crawls 
 
       Am          F        C       G
And if you should pass the James Hotel 
 Am         C         G        F
Please stop in for I knew you well 
     Am      F          C
But that was oh so long ago 
      Am     F                 C    G
And I never learned how to let go 
 
                            C
But when you fear your own faults 
                         F
And you’re sick of this life 
                         C
When you’re reckless of hand 
                   G
And trembling the knife 
                           C
And all your doors prefer locks
                        F
And your death prefers spoons 
                  C                      G
Why wouldn’t you wait one last laugh at fate 
               C    C7
Forever’s too soon 
 
     Am         F                C
But across the field death bell knells 
        Am     F            C
Listen close hear the toll tell 
 
   Am       F       C       G
To run and tell my darling true 
    Am        C
My breath is short 
    G        F
My days are few 
    Am         G
So please come down 
     F       G
And take my hand 
    Am      G
My last demand 
     Am     F                C
And lead me to some slender rest 
     Am         F             C   G
And please dismiss what I confess
