Emily White - Little Lifeboats
## NOTE: (m) = Hit muted strings once ##
CAPO: 2nd Fret
Am (m) Am
I know what it's like to implode
G D
I watched it in my brother from my little lifeboat
Am (m) Am
As I floated in the dark
G D
Breakfast for a hungry beast
Am (m) Am
But you are not the sea
G D
No, you're not the sea
Am (m)
And you are not the moon
Am
And I am no lost bug
G D
Headed for something carnal
Am (m) Am G D
Distracted by what's false
Am (m)
We were just two unhip hipsters
Am G
Who really could care less
We met when it was simple
D Am (m) Am
Now, we'll have to figure out the rest
G D
Yeah, we'll figure out the rest
CHORUS:
F E D
'Cause when you look at me
G D/F#
Sun in your eyes, you can hardly see
F E D
It's the most beautiful thing
G Am (m) Am G D
The way___ you believe
Am (m)
All laid out like a fish
Am
I smell like brine and shit
G D Am (m) Am G D
No bones left, just the tender bits
Am (m)
And I hold so tight
Am
To that slightest thread
G
And then the thread snaps,
D Am (m) Am G D
I think I lost myself, eh eh
CHORUS:
F E D
But when you look at me
G D/F#
The sun in your eyes, you can hardly see
F E D
It's the most beautiful thing
G Am (m) Am G D
The way___ you believe
BRIDGE:
F C F C
From Canyonlands to Florida's sand
E7 F C F C E7
All of my life the back of your hands__________
Am (m) Am
Oh, it gets so cold, but it just won't snow
G D
We'll go for slippery walks down the icy roads
Am (m) Am
And we were loaded like two guns
G D
Biting rubber bullets between our teeth
Am (m) Am
But we were free
G D
Yeah, we thought that we were free
Am (m)
And you hold so tight
Am
To that slightest thread
G
And then the thread snaps,
D Am (m) Am G D
You think you lost yourself, eh eh
Am (m)
We're just two grown-up children
Am G
Who really could care less
We thought we'd live forever
D Am (m) Am
Now we'll have to figure out the rest

And yeah, we'll figure out the rest
