Kings Crossing Tab por Elliott Smith

Intro:
AmF
C    GDm

AmF
The King's crossing was the main attraction
C    GDm
Dominoes falling in a chain reaction
AmF
The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
C    GDm
Whiskey works better than beer
AmF
The judge is on vinyl, decisions aren't final
C    GDm
And nobody gets a reprieve
AmF
And every wave is tidal
C    GC
If you hang around you're going to get wet
AmF                               C G Dm
I can't prepare for death any more than I already have

Verse:
Am                    F
All you can do now is watch the shelves
    C          G            C
The game looks easy, that's why it sells

Chorus:
C                    B/Am
Frustrated fireworks inside your head
          Am              F
Are going to stand and deliver dark instead
C                      B/Am
The method acting that pays my bills
          Am            F
Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
C                             B/Am
I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity
          Am           F
And I get my check from the trash treasury
C                             B/Am
Because I took my own insides out


Am                      F
It don't matter cause I have no sex life
    C              G      Dm
And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife
Am
I've seen the movie

 F                  C G Dm
And I know what happens
Am
It's Christmas time
        F
And the needle's on the tree
  C               G        Dm
A skinny Santa is bringing something to me
Am
His voice is overwhelming
        F
But his speech is slurred
      C    G          C
And I only understand every other word

CB/Am
Open your parachute and grab your gun
AmF
Float down like an omen, a setting sun
CB/Am
Read the part and return at five
AmF
It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
C
But I don't care if I fuck up
B/Am
I'm going on a date
Am
With a rich white lady
F
Ain't life great?
CB/Am
Gi'me one good reason not to do it
(Because I love you)
AmF
So do it.

C   G   Dm

AmF

CGDm

AmF
This is the place where time reverses
CGDm
And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
AmF
Instruments shine on a silver tray

C                GC
Don't let me get carried away
C                G  C
Don't let me get carried away
C               G       Dm
Don't let me be carried away
