Death Cab for Cutie - I Was a Kaleidoscope: chords

A           D             E
I put on my overcoat and walked into winter
    D/F#
My teeth chattered rhythms
And they were grouped in twos or threes
Like a Morse code message was sent from me to me
And cars on slippery slopes, they're stuck
People pushing through their mittens as
I was beginning
To feel it soaking through my shoes
Getting colder with every step
I took to your apartment, dear

And I was a kaleidoscope
The snow on my lenses distorting the image
Of what was only one of you
And I didn't know which one
to address as all your lips moved

F#m                    A
And this is when I forget to breathe
    E                                Bm
And all the things I scripted, they sound unfounded
And it's that look that you're giving me
That tells me exactly what you are thinking

D                  A
This ain't working anymore

D
They got their mothers worked into a panic
Bm
Sledding down hills into oncoming traffic
      D
Then parents layered clothes until the children
                        Bm
couldn't move and then left them outside 'til
their noses were blue
    F#m    Dm          A
And I got left there, too

I put on my overcoat and walked into winter
My teeth chattered rhythms
And they were grouped in twos or threes
Like a Morse code message was sent from me to me
