Death Cab for Cutie - Little Bribes: chords

E                                     Esus4E
The Eiffel Tower built to smaller scale
                                   Esus4 Amaj7
The freshest oxygen I'd ever inhale

I tapped a bottle against the
                     E  Esus4  E
safety rail killing time

And you were like a walking compliment
Tall in stature and exceptionally read
In dummy glasses and a cardigan, oh, come on

Chorus:
          G                           Amaj7
And oh so empty were the faces of the dealers
                     E    Esus4 E
and the waitresses around

You said that all these things you've learned
to ignore
The hidden cameras on the casino floor
And what gets paid for behind hotel doors,
oh, come on

Chorus:
You pretend every slot machine
Is a robot amputee waving hello
The people stare into their eyes
And they feed them little bribes and then they go

F#m                G#    F#m
The never-ending twilight
                        C#m      B     F#m
In a basement where the sun has never spilt
                       G#
You said that you were lonely
    C#m      B           F#m           E Esus4 E
And then we kissed like lonely people do

You said this city has a beating heart
That pushes people down the boulevard
And they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled
In a desert for a dollar bill
Those foolish dreams, you know they plague me still,
oh, come on

Chorus:
And oh so empty were the faces of
the dealers and the waitresses around
And oh so empty were the faces of
the dealers and the waitresses around
