Bats by Paul Dempsey
Bats
C Am C Am
come rebuild your memory with a small mountain of burning leaves
C Em6 F
and a swinging wire door that slams shut like a guillotine
C Am
strum a note up in the wires
C Am
to send bats down the river, seagulls around spires
C Em6
and shred all the twilight, scatter it city-wide
F Dsus2/F#
those average angels
F Dsus2/F#
the drunken saints with heavy heads
F
they can keep dreaming,
Em Fm C
dreaming of sleep down the end of the bed
F Em Fm C
but nobody's ever gonna break your heart again...
(not 100% on this bit, pick the chords) C F C Am G
C Am C
and the high-pitched, crooked thoughts
Am C
that ricocheted off the walls
Em6 F C
she just set them down quiet, safe in her dresser drawer
C Am
she laid me out on the laundromat floor
C Am
and said you'll be not nearly who you were anymore
C Em6
and i'll always be here to remind you what time is for
F Dsus2/F#
and those average angels
F Dsus2/F#
the drunken saints with heavy heads
F Dsus2/F#
you see their spirits are cowering under the table
F
and they're still counting,
Em Fm C
counting the breaths under their breath
F Em Fm C
but nobody's ever...
F Em Fm C
nobody's ever gonna break your heart again...

Hey this is my tab for bats by Paul Dempsey. Pull off the high E string when
playing C in the verse, I am unsure what the correct name is for the E chord in the pre-chorus.
Verse 1
C
Come rebuild your memory with a small mountain of burning leaves
Am Em Am
And a swinging wire door that slams shut like a guillotine
C
Strum a note up in the wires
Am
To send bats down the river, seagulls around spires
Em Am
And shred all the twilight, scatter it city-wide
Pre-Chorus
Fmaj7 E*
Those average angels
Fmaj7 E*
The drunken saints with heavy heads
Fmaj7 Am F C
They can keep dreaming, dreaming of sleep down the end of the bed
Chorus
C Em9 Am F
But nobody's ever gonna break your heart again
Verse 2
C
And the high-pitched, crooked thoughts
C
That ricocheted off the walls
Am Em Am
She just set them down quiet, safe in her dresser drawer
C
She laid me out on the laundromat floor
Am
And said "You'll be not nearly who you were anymore
Em Am
And I'll always be here to remind you what time is for"
Pre-Chorus
Fmaj7 E*
And those average angels
Fmaj7 E*
The drunken saints with heavy heads
Fmaj7 E*
You see their spirits are cowering under the table
Fmaj7 Am F C
And they're still counting, counting the breaths under their breath
Chorus
C Em9 Am F
But nobody's ever X2
C Em9 Am F
But nobody's ever gonna break your heart again
