Verse:
Bm    A            G     D
  One hand on this wily comet
Bm       A             D
  Take a drink just to give me some weight
Bm     A        G    D
  Some uberman I'd make, I'm
G            A
barely a vapor


Bm       A     G         D
  They shone a chlorine light on
Bm  A           D
  a host of individual sins
Bm        A       G     D
  Let's carve my aging face off
A          D
fetch us a knife
A              D
start with my eyes
A            D
down so the lines form a
G         A
grimacing smile


Bm           A          G      D
  Close your eyes to corral a virtue
Bm   A            D
  Is this fooling anyone else?
Bm      A          G       D
  Never worked so long and hard to
G              A
cement a failure


Bm       A           G            D
  We can blow on our thumbs and posture
Bm        A              D          
  but the lonely is such delicate things
Bm    A            G           D
  The wind from a wasp could blow them
A         D
into the sea, with
A                 D
stones on their feet
A              D          G         A
lost to the light and the loving we need

Chorus:
G          D     
  Still to come
G           D            A       
  the worst part and you know it
G            D    
  there is a numbness
G        D              A
  in you heart and it's growing

Interlude:
    Bm A G D
    Bm A D 
    Bm A G D
    G  A

    Bm A G D
    Bm A D 
    Bm A G D
    G  A A

Verse:
Bm           A          G          D
  With burnt sage and a forest of bygones
Bm           A              D   
  I click my heels get the devils in line
Bm          A              G         D
  A list of things I could lay the blame on might
G                A
give me a way out


Bm              A              G         D
  But with each turn it's this front and center
Bm       A          D
  Like a dart stuck square in your eye
Bm      A            G           D
  Every post you can hitch your faith on is a
A            D
pie in the sky
A               D
chock full of lies
A            D
a tool we devise to make
G              A
sinking stones fly

Chorus:
G          D    
  Still to come
G           D            A       
  the worst part and you know it
G            D    
  there is a numbness
G        D              A
  in you heart and it's growing

Biography

The Shins is an American indie rock band centered around James Mercer.

The band formed in 1997, in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States as a side project of Mercer (previously of Blue Roof Dinner) and drummer Jesse Sandoval, who were both members of Flake Music. The band’s original lineup was Mercer (vocals, guitar), Sandoval (drums), Marty Crandall (keyboards) and Dave Hernandez (bass). Neil Langford replaced Hernandez in 1998. Hernandez returned to the band in 2003, as Langford had left the band in 2001.
