Nothing Gets Crossed Out
by Bright Eyes
Simple chords, as with most Bright Eyes songs. I'm fairly sure they're right.
Capo 3rd Fret
G/B: X20003
Am: X02210
D: XX0232
G: 320003
G/F#: 2X0003
F: 133211
G/B Am
Well the future's got me worried such awful thoughts
D G G/F#
My head's a carousel of pictures, the spin-ning ne-ver stops
G/B Am
I just want someone to walk in front
F G
And I'll follow the leader
G/B Am
Like when I fell under the weight of a schoolboy crush
D G G/F#
Started carrying her books and doing lots of drugs
G/B Am
I almost forgot who I was
F G
But I came to my senses
G/B Am
Now I'm trying to be assertive, I'm making plans
D G G/F#
Going to rise to the occasion, yeah, meet all their demands
G/B Am
But all I do is just lay in bed
F G
And hide under the covers
G/B D
Yeah, I know I should be brave
G G/F# G/B D
But I'm just too afraid of all this change
G/B Am
And it's too hard to focus through all this doubt
D G G/F#
I keep making this to-do list but nothing gets crossed out
G/B Am
Working on the record seems pointless now
F G
When the world ends who's gonna hear it?
G/B Am
But I'm trying to take some comfort in written words
D G G/F#
Yeah Tim, I heard your album and it's better than good
G/B Am
When you get off tour I think we should
F G
Hang and black out together
G/B Am
Cause I've been feeling sentimental for days gone by
D G G/F#
All those summers singing, drinking, laughin', wasting our time
G/B Am
Remember all those songs and the way we smiled
F G
In those basements made of music?
G/B D G G/F# G/B
But now I've got to crawl to get anywhere at all
D
I'm not as strong as I thought
G/B
So when I'm lost in a crowd
D
I hope that you'll pick me out
F
How I long to be found
D
The grass grew high, I laid down
G/B
Now I'm waiting for a hand
D
To lift me up, help me stand
F
I've been laying so low
D
Don't want to lay here no more
G/B
Don't want to lay here no more
D
Don't want to lay here no more
F D
Don't want to lay here no more
G/B Am
Everything that happens is supposed to be
D G G/F#
And it's all predetermined, can't change your destiny
G/B Am
Guess I'll just keep moving someday, maybe
F G
I'll get to where I'm going
