chord sheet by tgies and flamingspinach Tempo: 133.2 BPM | Em | C D | Em | C D | Em C D Make a hole with a gun perpendicular Em C D To the name of this town in a desk-top globe E Am G C G Exit wound in a foreign nation D C D Showing the home of the one this was written for Em Cmaj7 D My apartment looks upside down from there Em Cmaj7 D Water spirals the wrong way out the sink E Am G C G And her voice is a backwards record D C D It's like a whirlpool, and it never ends G C D Ana Ng and I are getting old C G Bb And we still haven't walked in the glow C D Of each other's majestic presence Listen Ana hear my words They're the ones you would think I would say If there was a me for you Em Cmaj7 D All alone at the '64 World's Fair Em Cmaj7 D Eighty dolls yelling "Small girl after all" E Am G C G Who was at the DuPont Pavilion? D C D Why was the bench still warm? Who had been there? Em Cmaj7 D(or Cmaj7/D for accordion part.) Or the time when the storm tangled up the wire Em Cmaj7 D To the horn on the pole at the bus depot E Am G C G And in back of the edge of hearing D C D These are the words that the voice was repeating: "Ana Ng and I are getting old And we still haven't walked in the glow Of each other's majestic presence Listen Ana hear my words They're the ones you would think I would say If there was a me for you" C D G D C When I was driving once I saw this painted on a bridge: C C/D Gadd9 D7sus4(add13) Cmaj9(13) "I don't want the world, I just want your half" They don't need me here and I know you're there (don't need me) Where the world goes by like the humid air (world goes by) And it sticks like a broken record D Am G C G Everything sticks like a broken record D Am G C G Everything sticks until it goes away D C D7 And the truth is, we don't know anything Ana Ng and I are getting old And we still haven't walked in the glow Of each other's majestic presence Listen Ana hear my words They're the ones you would think I would say If there was a me for you | Bb | C | Ana Ng and I are getting old And we still haven't walked in the glow Of each other's majestic presence Listen Ana hear my words They're the ones you would think I would say If there was a me for you | Bb | C | ... and so on.
