A Stone Tab por Okkervil River (Acordes Baritono)

A#
Hot breath, rough skin
            D#
warm laughs, and smiling,
            Gm 
the lovliest words
             F
whispered and meant
       D#
you like all these things.


                    F
But though you like all these things
           A#
you love a stone.
           D#
You love a stone,
           F             Cm
because it's smooth and it's cold.
               Gm
And you'd love most
       F
to be told
                 D#
that it's all your own.

              A#
You love white veins,
              F
you love hard grey,
             Cm
the heaviest weight,
  D#
the clumsiest shape,
  Gm
the earthiest smell,
  F
the hollowest tone
  D#
you love a stone.

                  A#
And I'm found too fast,
called too fond of flames,
                        D#
and then I'm phoning my friends,
and then I'm shouldering the blame,
                     Gm
while you're picking pebbles
           F
out of the drain,
      D#
miles ago.
                   A#
You're out singing songs,
and I'm down shouting names
                   D#
at the flickerless screen,
going fucking insane.
   Gm
A#m I losing my cool,
               F
overstating my case?
                D#
Well, baby what can I say?

           F
You know I never claimed
             A#
that I was a stone.
               D#
A#nd you love a stone.
               Gm
You love white veins,
              F
you love hard grey,
             Cm
the heaviest weight,
              D#
the clumsiest shape,
              Gm
the earthiest smell,
              F
the hollowest tone
         D#
you love a stone.

           D#
You love a stone,
             F    
because it's dark 
         Cm
and it's old
                Gm
and if it could start
      F
being alive
                 D#
you'd stop living alone.

(quieter)
                  A#
And I think I believe
                     F
that if stones could dream
                      Cm
they'd dream of being laid
                      D#
side-by-side piece-by-piece
                  Gm
and turned into a castle
                  F
for some towering queen
                  D#
they're unable to know.

                      A#
And when that queen's daughter 
        F
came of age,
                 Cm
I think she'd be lovely
                 D#
and stubborn and brave,
                  Gm
and suitors would journey
             F
from kingdoms away
                    D#
just to make themselves known.
          
                   A#
And I think that I know
               F
the bitter dismay
                Cm
of a lover who brought
                       D#
fresh brouquets every day
                    Gm
when she turned him away
                 F
to remember some knave
D#                       A#
who once gave just one rose, one day, years ago.
