Elliott Smith - Kings crossing

The^Em King's crossing was the^C main attraction ^GDominoes ^Dfalling in a ^Amchain reaction The^Em scraping subject^C ruled by fear told me ^GWhiskey works ^Dbetter than ^Ambeer The^Em judge is on vinyl,^C decisions aren't final And ^Gnobody ^Dgets a rep^Amrieve And^Em every wave is^C tidal If you hang around you're^G going ^Dto get ^Gwet Em C G ^AmI can't prepare for death any more than I already have Al^Eml you can do now is watch the ^Cshelves The ^Ggame looks ^Deasy, that's ^Gwhy it sells

Are goi^Emng to stand and deliver ^Cdark instead G F#/Em The method acting that pays my bills Keeps the^Em fat man feeding in ^CBeverly Hills G F#/Em I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity And I ^Emget my check from the ^Ctrash treasury G F#/Em Because I took my own insides out

^EmIt don't matter cause I ^Chave no sex life And ^Gall I wanna do ^Dnow is ^Aminject my ex-wife ^EmI've seen the movie

And I k^Cnow what happens ^{G D Am} It's^Em Christmas time And the ^Cneedle's on the tree A s^Gkinny San^Dta is bringing ^Amsomething to me H^Emis voice is overwhelming But his ^Cspeech is slurred And I ^Gonly underst^Dand every ^Gother word

F^Emloat down like an omen, a s^Cetting sun G F#/Em Read the part and return at five It's a ^Emhell of a role if you can^C keep it alive But I don't^G care if I fuck up F#/Em I'm going on a date With a^Em rich white lady Ai^Cn't life great' G F#/Em Gi'me one good reason not to do it (Because I love you) S^Emo do it. ^C

T^Emhis is the place where t^Cime reverses And ^Gdead men t^Dalk to all the ^Ampretty nurses I^Emnstruments shine on a si^Clver tray

Don't ^Glet me get ^Dcarried aw^Gay Don't ^Glet me get ^Dcarried aw^Gay Don't ^Glet me be c^Darried aw^Amay
