THE SHINS: "AUSTRALIA"

Original en Mi mayor. Se recomienda no acelerarse porque ya de por sí es rapidita y hay mucha letra. Para nosotros los rascadores solitarios empieza a capella, el primer G no suena. El acorde final es x03233.

|-| Born to... born to multi- |Em| ply or born to gaze into |Am| night skies,
All you |C| want's one |Bm| more Satur- |Am| day.
 
|G| But look here, until |Em| then they're gonna buy your |Am| life's time
So keep your |C| wick in the air and your 
|Bm| feet in the |Am| fetters |D| to the day

......We come in doing |G| cartwheels
......We all crawl out by our- |D| selves
......And your shape on the |G| dance floor
......will have me thinking such |D| filth and gauge my eyes
 
............You'd be |Em| damned to be |C| one of us girl
............|Em| Faced with a |C| dodo's conundrum
............|G| Ah, |Am| I felt like I could just |C| fly
............But |Bm| nothing happened every time I |D| tried

|G| A dual tone under |Em| wall, the selfless fool who hoped he'd |Am| save us all
Never |C| dreamt of |Bm| such sterile |Am| hands,
 
|G| You keep them folded in your |Em| lap, or raise them up to |Am| beg for scraps,
You know, he's |C| holding you down,
With the |Bm| tips of his |Am| fingers |D| just the same

......Will you be pulled from the |G| ocean, 
......but just a minute too |D| late,
......Or changed by a |G| potion, 
......and find a handsome young |D| mate for you to love.

............You'll be |Em| damned to pining through the |C| windowpanes,
............You |Em| know you'd trade your life for any |C| ordinary 
............|G| Jo-|Am|-e, do it now or grow |C| old,
............Your nightmares |Bm| only need a year or two to un- |D| fold.

Inter: |G - Em - Am - C - Bm - Am| x 2

......|D| Been alone since you were twenty-one,
......|G| You haven't laughed since January,
......|D| You try and make like this is so much fun,
......|G| But we know it to be quite contrary |D| lalalalalala

............|Em| Dare to be |C| one of us, girl,
............|Em| Facing the |C| android's conundrum,
............|G| Ah, |Am| I feel like I should just |C| cry,

..................But |Bm| nothing happens every time I |C| take one on the chin
..................Yeah, |Bm| Himmler in your coat, you don't know |C| how long I've been,
..................|Bm| Watching the lantern |C| dim,
..................|Bm| Starved of oxy- |C| gen,
..................So |Am| give me your hand,
..................And let's |C| jump out the |D| window

Final: |G| x 4 --- |Dm4/A|
