Death Cab For Cutie - Ingenue
Standard tuning
Intro:
G
Verse 1:
G
Ingénue what have we done to you?
                C
Under that soft skin
            G
I hear a ticking
The currency of being twenty-three
                      C
It turns from gold to dust
                           G
When you crest the wave of lust
Chorus:
G
So take all you can
From the mouth of man
Verse 2:
G
Ingénue framed like a cartoon
                        C
The borders clear and defined
                    G
The colors bold and bright
       G
You'll want to be taken more seriously
                     C
But they just play a cue
                              G
And it's such a hard thing to do
Chorus:
   Em
So take all you can
         D
From the mouth of man
      Em
And escape from this town
            C
Before your sand runs out
            G
Before your sand runs out
G   C
G   C
Verse 3:
G
Ingénue, what will become of you?
                   C
When age's glacial pace
                       G
Cuts valleys into your face
    G
The currency of being twenty-three
                   C
It will remain the same
                G
Just by another name
Oh, Ingénue
What will you do?
        Em
Oh, Ingénue
             C
What have we done to you?
G
