MGMT - Brian Eno: chords

Dm
So tired
A#m
Soul searching
Am
I followed the sounds to a cathedral
Dm            A#m
Imagine my surprise to find that
     Am
they were produded by Brian Eno

Dm
Past the gates
A#m
Quite stark
Am
The roses trimmed and the windows dark
Dm                       A#m
I see the walls through a limestone crack
Am
Not red, not blue, not yellow, but black
Gm                         Am
And all the space left for you
Gm
If the sky was synthesized you'd probably know

He taught me many things
The wisdom of oblique stratagems
The prophet of a sapphire soul
Presented through creative freedoms
And everything I say is true
Because if I was telling lies, it'd probably show

Chorus:
D                     Bm
I can tell that he's kind of smiling
G
But what does he know?
D                 Bm
We're always one step behind him
G
He's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
A
Brian Eno! (Brian Eno!)

When I was stuck he'd make me memorize
elaborate curses
Tinctures and formulas to ditch
the chousi and flip the verses
My whole foundation came unglued
When I tried to humanize by ambient light

Chorus:
Dipping swords in metaphors, yeah,
but what does he know?
(What does he know?)
We're always one step behind him,
he's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
Brian Eno (Brian Eno)

Dm         A#m                Am
He promised pretty worlds and all
the silence I could dream of
Dm         A#m
Brian Peter George St. John
Le Baptiste de la Salle Eno

Chorus:
Well, all alone by the oldest stone where
the shade trees grow
(What does he know?)
The creature by the water feature
with the ghostly glow
(Brian Eno)
Making sure that time's preserved well,
we reap what we sow
(What does he know?)
We're always one step behind him,
he's Brian Eno (Brian Eno)
Yeah, I can tell that he's doing well, yeah,
but what does he know?
(What does he know?)
I'm always one step behind him, he's Brian Eno
(Brian Eno)
Yeah, he dips swords in metaphors yeah,
but what does he know?
(What does he know?)
I'd like to see him plant a forest,
because I don't know
Brian Eno
I can tell that he's trying to smile,
but what does he know?
(What does he know?)
I'll always be a step behind him, Brian Eno
(Brian Eno) Yeah
He's making sure that time's preserved well,
we reap what we sow
(What does he know?)
I'm always one step behind him,
because I don't know
What Brian Enos
