Okkervil River – White
G C
We crashed through crazed glass
Em C
In the white-hot burst of the fiery blast
G C
We flared through choked air
Em C D
In the deafening blare, in the scattering ash
G C
Summer’s here, and I’m gonna crack, crack, crack
G C G
Summer’s here, and I’m gonna crack
G C
We sort through shocked quartz
Em C
In a jewelry store, watch your sister and dad
G C
Consort with kept courtesans
Em C D
While the whole world is in ruins, we laugh.
G C
Summer’s here, and I’m gonna crack, crack, crack
G C
Summer’s here, and I’m gonna crack
G Bm C
Summer’s here, and I’m near a heart attack or flash
Bm C Bm C
of real feeling, teeth gnashing, and blasting and reeling
G
through black.
G
‘Cause, kids: When I first saw your mom
Em
Well, I was right, and she was wrong
C D
About just the kind of man she was bringing back.
G
When I first met her dad
Em
Well, I felt good, and he felt bad
C D
But, kids, you’ll find that over time you’re just trapped.
G C
Spring is gone, and you’re gonna gasp, gasp, gasp
G C
Spring is gone, and you’re gonna gasp
G
Gasp
G
And, friends: When I first saw the groom
Em
Rise from the darkness of a tomb
C D
I was unnerved, though overall I was wowed.
G
When I first saw the bride
Em
The look inside her eyes just cried,
C D
“If someone has some cause to stop, say it now!”
G C
Fall is here, and the leaves all come down, down, down
G C
Fall is here, and the leaves all come down, down, down
G C
Winter’s here, and it’s too cold to drown, drown, drown
G C
Winter’s here, and it’s too cold to drown, drown, drown
G C
Winter’s here, and it’s too cold to drown, drown, drown
G C
Winter’s here, and it’s too cold to drown, drown, drown
G C
Winter’s here, and it’s too cold to drown, drown, drown
G C
Winter’s here, and it’s too cold to drown, drown, drown
G C
Winter’s here, and the snow’s on the ground
G
Winter’s here, and I’m nearly whited-out,
C Em Am C D G
Snowblind, it’s no business of mine, life don’t want me around.
