Conor Oberst - Gentleman's Pact (also known as Smoke Signals) Standard Tuning
CI was lost for a while in the mirrored halAmlway of a high-rise hotel FUmbrella drink in my handG, sitting there CSaw ten thousand me’s with cocaine teeth andAm the chattering mouths FThought about home thought about death GThought about moving south CRodeo wind blew in now the candles out AmAnd everyone’s scared FCall my broker sell everything GI want to be prepared CHeard the cavalry cry my girl for the night when AmI entered her FSounds so fake, always feels fake finishes and Gthen it feels worst
FBut any hallway has a camera F C (hammer on D string 2nd fret) Every hallway has a camera don’t you know? FThey never let you open the window F C (hammer on D string 2nd fret) They never let you open the window
G7Smoke signals of thought CWhite ribboC/Bns of loAmss Fm G C (hammer on D string 2nd fret) High above the tree line They cry out
I froze up for a second on the pyramid side of the Las Vegas strip My brother hunched over in the bushes, getting sick Security knew he took one look and through us out, Life’s not fair Thought I'd die young with my true love Thought I’d be a millionaire In a mechanical world A loud sound you never heard is always there Radio’s trailing in the desert Keep driving until you disappear We made a gentleman’s pact We’re not stopping no looking back, Lace those shoes Take the first step, take the next step “That a boy!” It’s never too soon All that you keep is the journey All that you keep are the spaces in-between It’s not the first start of the ending All that you keep is the journey Smoke rings around your thoughts Blue ribbons at dawn High above the tree line We pass out Smoke signals of thought White ribbons of loss High above the tree line They cry out
