The Shins
Those Bold City Girls
A great Shins song, not very difficult though.
Listen to it to get the timing and the stroke patterns right.
Have fun,
CesareBorgio
You slide out at night to show yourself
you mean to hang yourself on the wall
Fis Bm
with the hems you call your friends.
You've memorized a thousand lines and
kissed a thousand guys but none packed
Fis
more than wood.
And still you wake up, the taste of the
night before has grown somehow.
You memorized your makeup, you're free from
G* G*
their eyes and all they laugh about.
Sailboats that never float and lids of lead
that hold your ego down. What's it take
Fis Bm G
to bend the lens? Well as you can see I
E Fis D
really know but never can amend the trend
towards the rocks wielding the knives
beneath your breast and all the the waves
that never break within our sight. So come on
treat me right.

If you could keep him you'd dub him
"The rock what aced 'em two to one"
but the powder from your empty boxes
was ground from your whole empty youth.
And so you wake up, the taste of the
night before has grown somehow.
You take off your makeup, and you're free
G* G*
from their eyes and all they laugh about.
