*****DO NOT ADD STRUMMING PATTERNS TO MY TABS*****
Ben Gibbard - Broken Yolk In Western Sky
INTRO:   G  
Broken yolk in western sky
My Dstomach turned, my mouth went dry__C_Am  
And I knew I'd Gnever know fear beDfore
I Gpressed my palms into the seat
With Done last look at you next to me__C_Am  
I kicked Gopen the sliding Ddoor
CHORUS:
And I Cthrew myself out on the Groad
CTorn flesh and broken Gbones
And in the Emshoulder's patchy A7grass
I Cfaded into your pGast
I know it was a cowardly thing to do
And that an Dexplanation is not an excuse__C_Am  
I just Gneed you to underDstand
My Glove is like some kind of greed
Of Dequal portions 'want' and 'need__C_'Am  
And I Gcannot divorce the Dtwo
CHORUS:
But I Ccould not sleep at Gall
With all the Crumble strip close Gcalls
In the Emgravel and scattered A7trash
I Cfaded into your pGastEm  
BRIDGE:
When you think Gtwice
You aAmrrive at the same conCclusionsEm  
And it's bad adGvice
DOnly if you Cuse it
INSTRUMENTAL:       G     D    C    Am        G     D    C    Am  G  
CHORUS:
And then you Cdisappeared from Gview
And you beCcame somebody Gnew
Near the Emexit's overA7pass
I Cfaded into your Gpast
Yes, I Cfaded into your Gpast
Yes, I Cfaded into your Gpast

Ben Gibbard - Broken Yolk In Western Sky

INTRO:

Broken yolk in western sky

D C Am

My stomach turned, my mouth went dry___

G D

And I knew I'd never know fear before

I pressed my palms into the seat

D C Am

With one last look at you next to me___

G D

I kicked open the sliding door

CHORUS:

C G

And I threw myself out on the road

C G

Torn flesh and broken bones

Em A7

And in the shoulder's patchy grass

C G

I faded into your past

I know it was a cowardly thing to do

D C Am

And that an explanation is not an excuse___

G D

I just need you to understand

My love is like some kind of greed

D C Am

Of equal portions 'want' and 'need___'

G D

And I cannot divorce the two

CHORUS:

C G

But I could not sleep at all

C G

With all the rumble strip close calls

Em A7

In the gravel and scattered trash

C G Em

I faded into your past

BRIDGE:

When you think twice

Am C Em

You arrive at the same conclusions

And it's bad advice

D C

Only if you use it

G D C Am G D C Am G

INSTRUMENTAL:

CHORUS:

C G

And then you disappeared from view

C G

And you became somebody new

Em A7

Near the exit's overpass

C G

I faded into your past

C G

Yes, I faded into your past

C G

Yes, I faded into your past
