Girl On The Wing Uke tab by The Shins

Bm        G   Bm           G      Bm
One wound-up punch of intuition, lays
    G          D      E
flat my whole take on us.
Bm             G        Bm          G
You're the girl on the wing of a barnstormer,
Bm           G        D
the tidal rabbit who came of
E                Bm
age before her time.

Bm -> Bbm -> A (rundown)


A                  G                   D                     A
We could have been so good-natured if I'd relented when you insisted,
Bm                G                         D              A
but we've been backed against all nature's walls far too long.

Bm         G                   D                    A
You felt abandoned by me, I recall the sunshine as you were melting
Bm                G                D                    A
and though the comedy softens the fall, they still hear us with their
G
ears to the wall.



Bm      G    Bm    G       Bm     G
I sold all my evil motives, no icicles
      D       E
stuck in my hide.
Bm          G     Bm              G     Bm
I'm through with riddles, I know we're little
          G        D
just help me feel warm
E
inside.

                    G                                             D
Before we take this ride and let it slide, into the cracks where fall and
                    G                                         D
winter collide. I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love.
G                                    D                    A
Remember you're the one who summoned me above any other kind.

Bm         G                           D        A
   we take a week off, let the garden grow by itself,
Bm            G                            D                    A
and let the gluttons fill themselves with all the worst of the gory nineties
Bm                   G                D                    A
   And though the comedy softens the fall, we still fall short.
