Death Cab for Cutie - 20th Century Towers: chords

Em                 Bm        C
We'll correct collegiate mistakes
   Em              Bm    C
A shower of formal ideals
Em                      Bm            C
Completely soused the hearts on our sleeves
         Em                           Bm    C
As they drowned we could hear them screaming
C
"Oh, what a tragic way to see our final days"

Em            Bm          C
I attempt to talk up the town
     Em                 Bm   C
"The answers are in the arches
Em           Bm      C
of the 20th century towers
       Em                  Bm   C
And in comfortable cars in motion"
C                                         Em
And yet it still remains, this incessent refrain:
         Bm            C          Em
"You're just like the rest, your restlessness
           Bm  C
makes you lazy"

Em               Bm           C
Keeping busy is just wasting time
         Em                    Bm     C
And I've wasted what little he gave me
C
All around

Am          C                    G
I know the conscious choice was crystal clear
     D                 F
To clean the slate of former years
     Am            C
When I sang softly in your ear
     G         D            F
And tied these arms around you
