Shins - Saint Simonadd

VERSF 1:
      A#m        F              G#
After all these implements and texts designed by
D#                C#                D#
intellects we're vexed to find evidently there's
      G#
still so much that hides.
    A#m         F               G#
And though the saints dub us divine in ancient
D#                  C#            D#
fading lines their sentiment is just as hard to
G#
pluck from the vine.

CHORUS:
F#                       D#
I'll try hard not to pretend
F#                      D#          F
allow myself no mock defense as I

step into the night.

VERSF 2:
A#m    F                G#                D#
Since I don't have the time nor mind to figure
        C#                   D#
out the nursery rhymes that helped us out in
       G#
making sense of our lives
A#m            F                G#        D#
The cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me
  C#              D#                 G#
I value them but I won't cry every time one's

wiped out.

CHORUS:
F#                         D#
I'll try hard not to give in
F#                       D#         F
batten down to fare the wind
F#                      D#
rid my head of this pretense
F#                      D#           F
allow myself no mock defense as I

step into the night

A#m        F        C#        D#        F

C#                G#
Mercy's eyes are blue and
D#m          F#   G#
when she places them in
C#        G#
front of you
D#m      F#       G#
nothing holds a roman
C#      G#
candle to
D#m         F#          G#
the solemn warmth you feel
F#        C#       F#        C#
Inside

F#        C#       B       G#        F
