“Pinned”
by Shovels and Rope
‘Swimmin’ Time’
G
Was it Gsomething that I said that turned your laughter into lead
Did I pin too much of me onto Dyou
Was I just too blind to see it wasn’t love but sympathy
But I still pinned all of my longing on to Gyou
You were dark and bitter cold, your eyes were fixed upon the road
You said ‘what did you expect that I would dCo’
That’s all there was to say, the wind just Gblew my D/F#words aEmway
I guess I’ll Cpin my loneliDness onto Gyou
Funny how I’m Cin Em7my   Amdarkest Dplace on the Gsun-D/F#ni----Emest of Amdays
When I think about Call Em7the   Amtime we Dwaste…G  A  
Did she Amelt you with her glance when you couldn’t help but watch her dance
Did she pin that warm desire onto Eyou
Did she whisper something crass as you were filling up her glass
Did she pin a little smile onto Ayou
Did the smell of her perfume hang like a target in your room
Well tell me what did you expect a man would Ddo
Did you start to love her lesser when you Astarted E/G#to   unF#mdress her
As she Dpinned all of her Efire on to Ayou
Funny how I’m Din F#m7my   Bmdarkest Eplace on the Asun-E/G#ni----F#mest of Bmdays
When I think about Dall F#m7the  Bmtime we Ewaste…A  
A E A D
A E/G# F#m
D E A B
BTalkin to my brother, making plans about the summer
He said I’ll pin a little lesson on to F#you
Cause I’m older and I’m smarter and my life has been much harder
Brother, let me pin a little knowledge onto Byou
He said religion is an actor, learn to trust your gut
And on’t let em ever tell you what to Edo
I said that sounds pretty nice, I think I’ll Bfollow F#/A#your  adG#mvice
Before they Epin that sorry F#story on me Btoo
I won’t fall for that one twice, I believe I’d Brather F#/A#roll the G#mdice
Keep on Erolling till I F#know what to Bdo
Keep on Erolling till I F#know what to BdoA#  B

“Pinned”

by Shovels and Rope

‘Swimmin’ Time’

Was it something that I said that turned your laughter into lead

Did I pin too much of me onto you

Was I just too blind to see it wasn’t love but sympathy

But I still pinned all of my longing on to you

You were dark and bitter cold, your eyes were fixed upon the road

You said ‘what did you expect that I would do’

G D/F# Em

That’s all there was to say, the wind just blew my words away

C D G

I guess I’ll pin my loneliness onto you

C Em7 Am D G D/F# Em Am

Funny how I’m in my darkest place on the sun-ni----est of days

C Em7 Am D G A

When I think about all the time we waste…

Did she melt you with her glance when you couldn’t help but watch her dance

Did she pin that warm desire onto you

Did she whisper something crass as you were filling up her glass

Did she pin a little smile onto you

Did the smell of her perfume hang like a target in your room

Well tell me what did you expect a man would do

A E/G# F#m

Did you start to love her lesser when you started to undress her

D E A

As she pinned all of her fire on to you

D F#m7 Bm E A E/G# F#m Bm

Funny how I’m in my darkest place on the sun-ni----est of days

D F#m7 Bm E A

When I think about all the time we waste…

Talkin to my brother, making plans about the summer

He said I’ll pin a little lesson on to you

Cause I’m older and I’m smarter and my life has been much harder

Brother, let me pin a little knowledge onto you

He said religion is an actor, learn to trust your gut

And on’t let em ever tell you what to do

B F#/A# G#m

I said that sounds pretty nice, I think I’ll follow your advice

E F# B

Before they pin that sorry story on me too

B F#/A# G#m

I won’t fall for that one twice, I believe I’d rather roll the dice

E F# B

Keep on rolling till I know what to do

E F# B A# B

Keep on rolling till I know what to do
