Elevator Operator Tab por Courtney Barnett (Acordes Baritono)

G
  Oliver Paul, twenty years old

Am
Thick head of hair, worries he's going bald

G
  Wakes up at quarter past nine

Am
Fair evades his way down the 96 tram line

G
Breakfast on the run again, he's well aware

     Am                                     G       Am G Am 
He's dropping soy linseed Vegemite crumbs everywhere

G
  Feeling sick at the sight of his computer

   Am
He dodges his way through the Swanston commuters

G
Rips off his tie, hands it to a homeless man

Am                                                   G
Sleeping in the corner of a metro bus stand and he screams


"I'm not going to work today

          Am
Going to count the minutes that the trains run late

G                                                      Am        G
  Sit on the grass building pyramids out of Coke cans

G
Headphone wielding to the Nicholas building

   Am
He trips on a pothole that's not been filled in

  G                                
He waits for an elevator, one to nine

  Am
A lady walks in and waits by his side

   G
Her heels are high and her bag is snakeskin

Am
Hair pulled so tight you can see her skeleton

G
Vickers perfume on her breath

  Am
A tortoise shell necklace between her breasts

             G
She looks him up and down with a botox frown

     Am
He's well used to that look by now

          G                                 F
The elevator dings and they awkwardly step in

      G                                 G
Their fingers touch on the rooftop button

       C                                   G                 
Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof

                 F                                                         C
You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth

 G                                     F                   C
I'd give anything to have skin like you

         G
He said "I think you're projecting the way that you're feeling

    Am
I'm not suicidal, just idling insignificantly

   G
I come up here for perception and clarity

   Am
I like to imagine I'm playing SimCity

           G                                             C
All the people look like ants from up here

         G                                                   C
And the wind's the only traffic you can hear"

          G                                  C
He said "All I ever wanted to be

              G                           F                         C
Was an elevator operator, can you help me please?"

      C                                   G                 
Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof

                 F                                                         C
You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth

 G                                     F                   C
I'd give anything to have skin like you

    C                                   G                 
Don't jump little boy, don't jump off that roof

                 F                                                         C
You've got your whole life ahead of you, you're still in your youth

I'd give anything to have skin like you
