So Stark You're A Skyscraper by Pavement
So Stark You're A Skyscraper
Tuning: DADGBE (to be honest, song was written in CGDGBE tuning, but I believe that
detuning from standard one is easier, if to DADGBE. Just tune lower E two halftones down.)
intro:
(I've been waiting here for, oh, so long) x2

I've been waitin' here for oh so long
I've been waitin' here for oh so long
This is life
And it's flat
And it's 6
And it's 8...times
This is life
And it's flat
And it's 3
And it's 4
She's a real debutante
She'll never fall
Waves in the taxi of room-service calls
I've been with viceroys
And I've been with kings
In your emporium
It's gold inlaid rings
She can't live
Beside the spiral staircase
When the money's coming in...
White jar left of shelf above blue chair
Leave the old rugs down behind the stairs
Stunning bureaucrat
You're so f***ing lost
Stark as a skyscraper
Letters embossed
Stunning bureaucrat
You're so f***ing lost
Signing the letters
And cutting the costs
I can't live
Beside the spiral staircase
When the money's coming in...
Da - da - da
Ba - da - da
La - da - da
La - da - da
(etc...fades)
