Tuning: E A D G B E

Pressed in a Book - The Shins Tabbed by: getupkid203 Thought I'd tab my version of this song as I'm 99.99% sure that it's 100% correct haha. The other tabs for this songs on this site are pretty darn accurate too I just think there's 1 or 2 chords out of place. Tuning Standard E Chords played in song: (I like to use a variation of open and barred chords throughout the song).

^A Doted on like ^E2seeds planted in ^Crows The ^Guntied shoe^D2laces of your^A life Nurtured all year^C#m then pressed in a book^E2 Or dis^Dplayed in ^C#mbad taste at the t^Aable Problems arise^E and you fan the fire^G While there's a wild pack^D of dogs loose in your hou^Ase tonight. Cut from bad^C#m cloth or soiled like s^Cocks Add it up and basic^Dally people never chan^C2ge.

They just talk and make ^G5plans in the ^D1dark Or make h^C2aste with ideas that can't h^G5elp But creep good peo^D1ple out ^C2 As you talk to me ^G5too m^D1uch you're assumi^C2ng G5 D1 E2 x3 counts then C#m x1 count. We don't always want what's right.

^A Did I strike the ^E2right set of chords? you're annoyed^C. The ^Ggoal is to ig^D2nite you then m^Aove on. You feel ill at ease^C#m. you got no squee^E2ze. And the wise c^Dracks won't make ^C#myou more stable^A. You've learned your lines to^E2 scale and to time. ^G Why must I re^D2mind you now i'm only less ^Aable. Cut from bad^C#m cloth or soiled like ^Csocks We're ordinary people w^De can't help but to change ^C2

As we walk and make ^G5plans in the ^D1dark Or make hast^C2e with the boy who can't help^G5 But creep good peo^D1ple out. ^C2 As you talk to me ^G5too m^D1uch you're assumin^C2g G5 D1 E2 x3 counts then C#m x1 count. We don't always want what's right.

^A Two fallen ^E2saplings in an open fi^Geld. Snow padding g^Dently on an empty ben^Ach. An old woman's jewelr^E2y lying unadorned. ^G Cold nesting robins a^Dllied for the first ti^Ame. I know when you hear t^E2hese sappy lines ^G You'll roll your eyes and^D say "nice try". ^C2
