Sleeping Lessons
The Shins
Wincing The Night Away
Official release by Sub Pop Records on January 23, 2007.
The album's out there ... this is the first track.
The pattern is played with some strange delay. The actual guitar strum comes in at
the chorus and the whole band kicks in after the second verse at about 2 minutes and a half in.

[intro]
E 4x
Go without 'til the need seeps in
you're low anymore; collect your novel petals for the stem
and glow, glow; melt and flow
[verse]
eviserate your fragile frame
spilled it all in ragged form; a thousand different versions of yourself
and if the old gaurd still offend; you got nothing left on which you depend
so enlist ounce of your bright blood and off with their heads
[chorus]
Jump from the book; you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
[verse]
See those unrepenting buzzards want your life
when they got no right; as sure as you have eyes
they got no right
[verse]
Just put yourself in my new shoes; and see that I do what I do
because the old gods still offend; we got nothing left on which we depend
so we waste every ounce of your bright blood and off with their heads
[chorus]
Jump from the book; you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
