I just added the complete lyrics to this one, and corrected one or two wrong chords
Artist: Okkervil River
Song: Plus Ones
Capo at 7th Fret
Intro: D
DNo one wants to hGear about your Em97th tGear,
so dry your eEmyes or let it gGo
uncried, myA dear. I am all oEmut of love to mGouth into youAr ear, and not abEmove
G A Em Em* G* A*
letting a love song disappear before it's written.
And noD one wants a tuGne about the Em100th luftGballoon that was seen
Emshooting from the wiGndow of your rAoom, to be a sEmpot against the skGy's
colossalA gloom and land, defEmlated, in some neGighbor state that'sA strewn with
99 Emothers. Em G A
Em 8 Chinese brotAhers; well, there's a rDeason why the lAast is smiling wiEmde
and sitting hGigher than the Aothers,
swinging his arEmms. G A
DYou would probablGy die before yoEmu shotG up 9 miles high
Your eyesEm dilated as ligGht played upon the Asight
OEmf TVC16 as it sGings you goodAnight
REmelaxed as hellG and locked up in cAell 45
EmI hope you're feeling bettEmer G A
Em51st way to leaveA your lover
ADdmittedly, it dAoesn't seem to beEm as gentleG or as clean asA all the others
EEmven a scars all in the aftGerA hours of some Greenpoint bar
DI told you, I can't listen, Gbaby, 'bout theEm 4th time you were aG lady
Emand how your foGrthrightness betrayAed a secret shyness
EmStripped away by days of Gbeing hailed as "Ayour highness"
And what's new Empussycat, as yGou were once a lionAness
EmThey cut your claws oEmut G A
DKitten, not eGveryone's keen Emon lighting candle 1G7,
the party's dEmone, the cake'sG all gone, the platAes are clean
The chauffEmeur's near and Gfrom the cheerless Amezzanine
And in just one Emyear, this straGight world could paAy to see
Emwhat they have been missinEmg G A
EmYou were caught kissing 8 chinese broAthers
Well, there's a rDeason why the lAast is smiling wiEmde and sitGting higher thaAn the others
EmStaking with charGm A
EmAnd he says, "Lets get lost, let them send oAut alarms
EmHe says, "Let's get crossed out and comAe to harm"
Em"Lets make the world's stupidest stand anAd truly mean it
EmLets hit the limit of loss over loverA's arms
EmNo, lets exceed it"
