The Ballad Of Costa Concordia taby ukulele według Car Seat Headrest

C                          F 
I used to like the mornings
Em                   Am
I'd survived another night
Em                     Am
I'd walk to breakfast through the garden
G                             C
See the flowers stretching in the sunlight


F                  C
Now I wake up in the morning
 Em                             Am
And all the kindness is drained out of me
 Em              Am
I spend hours just wincing
G                     F
And trying to regain some sense of peace

        C                  D
If only I could sustain my anger
Dm      C                 G
Feel it grow stronger and stronger
F                C                  D
It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin
Dm                          C
Shakes off the weight of my sins
                G      F C
And takes me to heaven


F               C
I stay up late every night
 Em                 Am
Out of some general protest
Em                            Am
But with no one to tell you to come to bed
 G                C
It's not really a contest

 F         C
Maybe you think
Em               Am
I'll learn from my mistake
 Em         Am
But not this time
 G              F
It's just gonna break me


        C                  D
If only I could sustain my anger
Dm      C                 G
Feel it grow stronger and stronger
F                C                  D
It sharpens to a point and sheds my skin
Dm                          C
Shakes off the weight of my sins
                G      F
And takes me to heaven


C                          F 
And if I've lost you for good
 Em                 Am
Could it have been any other way?
 Em                 Am
Was the water filling up for years
 G                  C
Or did I wreck it all in a day?

 F             C
I'm going to bed now
 Em
I've sunk into my sorrows
          Am                             Em
And it'll take three hundred million dollars
   Am                 D Dm C G
To get me up tomorrow


D Dm C G


F                         C
I won't go down with this shit
       Dm                      Am
I will put my hands up and surrender
           F                      C
There will be no more flags above my door
       G                Dm
I have lost, and always will be

A                                     Am
Let us take you back to where we came in
We were united, an undivided nation
D                      G
We got divided, it was something inside us
       A
It was not us

                                    Am
We were so naive, we were just like animals
                                       D
Told what to believe by the beasts who took control
             G                      A
We wanted control too, but that was normal

Cause our life was one of survival
       Am
The decisions we've made, if you can call it deciding
          D                         G                 A
With your life on the line, it'd be social suicide to change your mind

So we got mad and we split the scene
       Am
Now we download all of our shit for free
         D                    G                       A
It's the new economy, we have nothing to offer and we sleep on trash

I give up x2


A                                      Am
Let us take you back to where you came in
                                      D
A man clinging to the cliff of revelation
                           G
So scared of what he would find, he started crying
        A
"it was not me"

Stopped at the borderline they took his disguise
   Am
So he read a book that won a Pulitzer prize
   D
It was about death
          G
It didn't help
               A
He saw himself in it

He was disturbed at the conclusions it led to
Am
But he couldn't say what because the author was dead too
       D                         G                 A
And so though he made fun of us, he has now become one of us

A                        D
And you wake up trembling
                                   E
From a dream where I swam into the river
                               D
I reach out and hold you in my arms
  E                       D
I love you, I love you, I love you
