-Josh Ritter-
-------------
Intro:  Gm  
Capo 3
EmSerenade me with rocks, love
No lullabiGes through the locks, love
I locked myCself in with the band
But the muBmsic's never B7loud enough
EmDecibels in the belfry
Hey what the hGell if it helps me
I put a wChip to the kick drum
But the mBmusic's never B7loud enough
So you're gonna have to Cshow me
How that Gdance is done
The one where somebody leaves sDomeone
My orchestra is gigantic
This thing could sink the Titanic
And the string section's screaming
Like horses in a barn burning up
He plays pianos with fistfuls
Of broken Belvedere crystal
And he's trying to forget you
But the music's never loud enough
So you're gonna have to show me
How that dance is done
The one where somebody leaves someone
He's impaling the front row
Fighting fires with arrows
And he'll act like he forgot you
But the music's never loud enough
So you're gonna have to show me
How that dance is done
The one where somebody leaves someone

-Rumors-

Intro:

Capo 3

Serenade me with rocks, love

No lullabies through the locks, love

I locked myself in with the band

Bm B7

But the music's never loud enough

Decibels in the belfry

Hey what the hell if it helps me

I put a whip to the kick drum

Bm B7

But the music's never loud enough

So you're gonna have to show me

How that dance is done

The one where somebody leaves someone

My orchestra is gigantic

This thing could sink the Titanic

And the string section's screaming

Like horses in a barn burning up

He plays pianos with fistfuls

Of broken Belvedere crystal

And he's trying to forget you

But the music's never loud enough

So you're gonna have to show me

How that dance is done

The one where somebody leaves someone

He's impaling the front row

Fighting fires with arrows

And he'll act like he forgot you

But the music's never loud enough

So you're gonna have to show me

How that dance is done

The one where somebody leaves someone
