WHAT SARAH SAID
Written/Performed by Death Cab For Cutie
Arranged by Jamie Gray
Comments/feedback: jag1984@gmail.com
Time Signature: 12/8
[Intro]
Fmaj7Em7/G    Cmaj7/E
  Am7sus4 
Fmaj7Em7/G    Cmaj7/E
  Am7sus4 
[Verse 1]
       Fmaj7           Em7/G                     Cmaj7/E
                                  Am7sus4        
And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
     Fmaj7                Em7/G                  Cmaj7/E
                              Am7sus4            
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409
      Fmaj7               Em7/G                                Cmaj7/E
                                             Am7sus4           
And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today
         Fmaj7            Em7/G                    Cmaj7/E
                                    Am7sus4        
As each descending peak of the LCD took you a little farther away from me
Fmaj7       Em7/G                     Cmaj7/E
                       Am7sus4        
Away from me
[Verse 2]
            Fmaj7                   Em7/G                          Cmaj7/E
                                               Am7sus4             
Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we only say goodbye
                Fmaj7            Em7/G                         Cmaj7/E
                                                 Am7sus4             
It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds
                Fmaj7               Em7/G                            Cmaj7/E
                                                        Am7sus4      
But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all
      Fmaj7               Em7/G                        Cmaj7/E
                                               Am7sus4  
And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained itself
       Dm7                F              Am     Em7
'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room
     Dm7            F               Am     Em7
Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news
             Dm7                   F                        Am         Em7
And then the nurse comes round and everyone will lift their heads
        Dm7           Fm             C
                      (#7)           
But I'm thinking of what Sarah said that "Love is watching someone die"
[Outro]
   Fmaj7                    Em7/G  Am7       Cmaj7/E
So who's going to watch you die?
   Fmaj7                    Em7/G  Am7       Cmaj7/E
So who's going to watch you die?
(repeat to fade)
