Alameda Tab par Elliott Smith

C                     B7                 
Walk down alameda shuffling your deck
            Am          F
of trick cards over everyone
          C             B7
like some precious only son
Am                       F
face down, bow to the champion
C                     B7
Walk down alameda looking at the
                  Am
cracks in the sidewalk
Am                   F
thinking about your friends
        C                 B7
how you maintain all them in a
Am                  F
constant state of suspense
         Dm     E      Am      C 
for your own protection   over their affection
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
     Cm         F                   Bb               C
you broke your own cause you can't finish what you start
C                  B7                              Am
Walk down alameda brushing off the nightmare you wish
      A                      F
could plague me when i'm awake
            C                B7
and now you see your first mistake    
Am                             F
was thinking that you could relate
      C      F                    Am
for one or two minutes she liked you
         C      F
but the fix is in
    Dm        E
you're all pretension
Am        C
I never pay attention
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
    Cm         F                     Bb               C
you broke your own because you can't finish what you start
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
    Cm         F                     Bb               C
you broke your own because you can't finish what you start
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
    Cm         F                     Bb               C
you broke your own because you can't finish what you start
Eb                Gm
nobody broke your heart
    Cm       F               Bb                    C    
if you're alone it must be you that wants to be apart
