Saint Simon Tab uke di Shins

Verse 1:
          Cm                  G                    Bb
After all these implements and texts designed by
F                           Eb                        F
intellects we're vexed to find evidently there's
             Bb
still so much that hides.
         Cm             G                              Bb
and though the saints dub us divine in ancient
F                            Eb                     F
fading lines their sentiment is just as hard to
Bb
pluck from the vine.

 Chorus:
Ab                               F
I'll try hard not to pretend
Ab                                        F          G
allow myself no mock defence as I

step into the night.

 Verse 2:
             Cm                 G                                     Bb
Since I don't have the time nor mind to figure
 F                       Eb                            D
out the nursery rhymes that helped us out in
                    Bb
making sense of our lives.
Cm                  G                          Bb                          F
The cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me
      Eb               F                                 Bb
I value the but I won't cry every time one's

wiped out.

Chorus:
Ab                                F
I'll try hard not to give in
Ab                                    F                 G
batten down to fare the wind
Ab                                        F
rid my head of this pretense
Ab                                        F          G
allow myself no mock defence as I

step into the night.
