Death Cab for Cutie - Portable Television: chords

G
Portable television, shrouded in snow
     Am                 C/G
In a raggedy van on the side of the road
     G
The night it had frozen through my little bones
        Am                        C/G
So you took me in your arms, you squeezed out
the cold

Upstate New York, autumn, brightly colored leaves
Oh, the hills were on fire, they burn for you and me
And where we were going, it was built like a lie
But as sacred as the Bible,
so we didn't question why

   C                 G/B
I saw it in the soil just recently
          Am
Where the rows of teeth they grow in fields
   G
of infinite greed
     C                        G/B
And here laid the father, and here stood the son
          Am                         Em
Where the road meets the horizon for everyone,
    C
for everyone

Portable television, take us away
From this burden of reflection we've carried today
Oh, the generator's running
but there's nothing on the air
And the static is a comfort,
so we huddle around and stare
