Track 8 of The People's Key, Bright Eyes' final album.
Capo 1
F A
Hold on tight beginners mind,
Dm C
The wheel is spinning too
Gm C
Fast to make your move
A Dm
The worst must be assumed
F A
Oh how they'll try to pull and pry
Dm C
Away what you know now
Gm C
Beat and beat it out
A Dm
Leave a drum that makes no sound
Bb A Gm C
A snuff film on a Jumbo-tron for all the world to see
Gm C
A cocktail napkin epitaph
F Dm
Some psychobabble telegram
Gm C
Message written in the sand
F Dm
The tide rolls in
Gm C
Swear you'll do the opposite
F Dm
Of all those tangled hypocrites
Gm C F
Who say that the experiment has failed
Dm
Don't go there
Bb
You're getting nowhere
C
You're getting nowhere
F A
Stay a while my inner child
Dm C
I'd like to learn your trick
Gm C
Know what makes you tick
A Dm
Nurse you when you're sick
F A
Oh how you've grown so cynical
Dm C
Hard lines carved in your face
Gm C
The sunshine so cliché
A Dm
Just like love and pain
Bb A Gm C
You tried your best on the Rorschach test but there's just nothing to see
Gm C
Heard terabytes of perfect pitch
F Dm
Some universal elegance
Gm C
Stack the seventh and the fifth
F Dm
Along the grid
Gm C
Swear you’ll be the opposite
F Dm
Of all the stilted hypocrites
Gm C F Dm
You know what made you infamous to them, don't you?
Bb
You keep starting over
C
You keep starting over
A
You keep starting over
Dm
You keep starting over
Bb
Keep starting over
C
Keep starting over
F A
Hold on tight beginners mind
Dm C
The currents far too strong
Gm C
It will carry you along
A Dm
Till you're just like everyone
F A
Stay a while my inner child
Dm C
I'd like to learn your trick
Gm C
Know what makes you tick
A Dm
Nurse you when you're sick
Bb A Gm C
