Its Only Life by The Shins
Its Only Life
Intro
C G F
C Em F G
C Am Em
Dyed in the wool, you've been cornered by a natural desire
F C
You wanna hop along the with the giddy throng through life
C Em F G
But how will you learn to steer when you're grinding all your gears?
C Am Em F
Youve been talking for hours you say time will wash every tower to the sea
C Em F G
And now you got this worry in your heart
F C G
When I guess its only life its only natural
F C G
We all spent a little while going down the rabbit hole
Am C
The things they taught you lining up to haunt you
G F Em
They got your back against the wall
F G
I called on you on the telephone wont you pick up the receiver
C G F C
Ive been down the very road youre walking now
C Em F
It doesnt have to be so dark and lonesome
C G F Em G
Takes a while till we can figure this thing out and turn it back around
C Am Em G
C Am Em F
You use to be such a lion before you got into all this crying on my lap
C Em F G
Back when you thought I never get this far
F C G
But did you think really I'd shut an open door
F C G
But futures calling and Imma answer her
Am C
The wheels in motion but I never drink your potion
G F Em
And I know it breaks your heart
F G
Open up your parachute something got to stop the free fall
C G F C
Ive been down the very road youre walking now
C Em F
It doesnt have to be so dark and lonesome
C G F Em G F C
Takes a while till we can figure this thing out and turn it back around
end on G
