Elliott Smith
King's Crossing
Capo: 1st Fret
Intro:
Am F
C G Dm
Am F
The King's crossing was the main attraction
C G Dm
Dominoes falling in a chain reaction
Am F
The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
C G Dm
Whiskey works better than beer
Am F
The judge is on vinyl, decisions aren't final
C G Dm
And nobody gets a reprieve
Am F
And every wave is tidal
C G C
If you hang around you're going to get wet
Am F C G Dm
I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
Verse:
AmAll you can do now is Fwatch the shelves
The Cgame looks Geasy, that's Cwhy it sells
Chorus:
C B/Am
Frustrated fireworks inside your head
Am F
Are going to stand and deliver dark instead
C B/Am
The method acting that pays my bills
Am F
Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
C B/Am
I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity
Am F
And I get my check from the trash treasury
C B/Am
Because I took my own insides out
AmIt don't matter cause I Fhave no sex life
And Call I wanna do Gnow is Dminject my ex-wife
AmI've seen the movie
AFnd I know what happCenGs Dm
AmIt's Christmas time
And the Fneedle's on the tree
A Cskinny Santa is Gbringing Dmsomething to me
AmHis voice is overwhelming
But his Fspeech is slurred
And I Conly Gunderstand Cevery other word
C B/Am
Open your parachute and grab your gun
Am F
Float down like an omen, a setting sun
C B/Am
Read the part and return at five
Am F
It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
CBut I don't care if I fuck up
B/Am
I'm going on a date
AmWith a rich white lady
FAin't life great'
C B/Am
Gi'me one good reason not to do it
(Because I love you)
Am F
So do it.
C G Dm
Am F
C G Dm
Am F
This is the place where time reverses
C G Dm
And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
Am F
Instruments shine on a silver tray
C G C
Don't let me get carried away
C G C
Don't let me get carried away
CDon't let me be Gcarried Dmaway
