The Only Thing by Sufjan Stevens




                       The Only Thing 





capo 1st fret

G   D  Em  D  A7

G             D           Em      D              A7
The only thing that keeps me from driving this car
G             D           Em      D              A7
Half-light, jack knife into the canyon at night
G             D           Em      D              A7
Signs and wonders: Perseus aligned with the skull
G         D        Em      D           A7
Slain Medusa, Pegasus alight from us all

Bm                   F#m            G                       A7
Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they’re found
Bm                   F#m            G                       A7
In a veil of great surprises; I wonder did you love me at all?

G           D           Em      D             A7
The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm
G           D           Em      D           A7
Cross hatch, warm bath, Holiday Inn after dark
G           D         Em      D             A7
Signs and wonders: water stain writing the wall
G            D          Em      D              A7
Daniel’s message: blood of the moon on us all

Bm                   F#m            G                       A7
Do I care if I despise this? Nothing else matters, I know
Bm                   F#m            G                       A7
In a veil of great disguises, how do I live with your ghost?

G             D            A7
Should I tear my eyes out now?
D          Em         D             A7
Everything I see returns to you somehow
G             D            A7
Should I tear my heart out now?
D          Em         D             A7         G
Everything I feel returns to you somehow
                               A7
I want to save you from your sorrow

Bm   F#m     Em    A7

G        D        Em      D           A7
The only reason why I continue at all
G        D        Em      D           A7
Faith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumb
G        D        Em      D           A7
Signs and wonders: sea lion caves in the dark
G        D        Em      D           A7
Blind faith, God’s grace, nothing else left to impart

Bm                   F#m            G                       A7
Do I care if I survive this, bury the dead where they’re found
Bm                   F#m            G                       A7
In a veil of great surprises, hold to my head till I drown

Bm           F#m           G                       A7
Should I tear my eyes out now, before I see too much?
Bm           F#m           G                       A7
Should I tear my arms out now, I wanna feel your touch

G             D            A7
Should I tear my eyes out now?
D          Em         D             A7
Everything I see returns to you somehow
G             D            A7
Should I tear my heart out now?
D          Em         D             A7         G
Everything I feel returns to you somehow
                               
A7
