Buenos Aires Beach by The War on Drugs (off of Wagonwheel Blues)
Capo 6th
Intro: C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
C Fmaj7 C G C
Verse:
C
My barricades feel open now
Fmaj7 C
So I leave behind the bridge
Fmaj7 C
With a flag with a western wave and a simple stitch to fix
Fmaj7 C
I'll hold myself together now as you take me through the ditch
C
Where the sky crumbled on the floors
C
You'll sweep me off of my back
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
You'll save me from the rumble you spoke of before
C Fmaj7
And the one who saved you
C Fmaj7
Ain't the one who you were banking on
C G C
When your highs were cutting through my lows
Bridge: C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
Verse:
C
Enter through the side door please
Fmaj7 C
I know you wish to speak with me
Of old neglected promises
Fmaj7 C
Of stolen souvenirs
How you could hear the ocean
Fmaj7 C
But you could not see the breeze
When the sky was setting on a Buenos Aires beach
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
And the sun was shining on the one I wish to see
C Fmaj7 C
And the fates are shifting under land
Fmaj7 C
You're beating on the floors
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7
You're sleeping on the same ones you've been sweeping on
C Fmaj7
You're the one that saved me
C Fmaj7
And the one that I was banking on
C G C
When your highs were cutting through my lows
Chorus:
Fmaj7
So hold me up against the tree
G
You used to measure me in feet
C Fmaj7 C
And set your sights to green
Fmaj7
And all the cross-town boys and on
G C
They show up with the sea shells in their eyes
Fmaj7 C
But you know what they want
Fmaj7
By the glow of your skin
And you can overdress for him
C Fmaj7
But it will soon grow old
Bridge: C Fmaj7 (x3)
Verse:
C Fmaj7
And this winter it came to pass
C Fmaj7
So much slower than the last
C Fmaj7
And now there's nothing left to grasp
G
In our hands and nothing left to catch
C Fmaj7
So they'll speak of the past
C Fmaj7
In the future perfect tense
Of places we will go
C Fmaj7
Before we grow old
Outro: C Fmaj7 (repeat as many as needed)
