Sleeping Lessons
The Shins
Wincing The Night Away
Official release by Sub Pop Records on January 23, 2007.
The album's out there ... this is the first track.
The pattern is played with some strange delay. The actual guitar strum comes in at
the chorus and the whole band kicks in after the second verse at about 2 minutes and a half in.

[intro]
E 4x
EGo without 'til the need seeps in
you're lAow anymore; collecEt your novel petals for the stem
Eand glow, glow; melt and flow
[verse]
Eeviserate your fragile frame
spilled itA all in ragged fEorm; a thousand different versions of yourself
and ifB the old gaurd still Aoffend; you got nothing left on which you depend
sAo enlist ounce of your bright blood and off with their heads
[chorus]
E Jump from the bookA; you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
[verse]
See those unErepenting buzzards want your life
when tAhey got no right; as sure as you have eyes
theyE goBt nAo right
[verse]
E A
EJust put yourself in my new shoes; and see that I do what I do
becauseB the old gods stilAl offend; we got nothing left on which we depend
sAo we waste every ounce of your bright blood and off with their heads

E Jump from the book; you're not obliged to swallow anything you despise
