"Black Flowers" - Yo La Tengo
- I'm Not Afraid of You and I Will Beat Your Ass (2006)
I think this sounds better if you transpose the chords down 7 half-steps and play with a
capo on 7, but these are the chords to play without a capo.
Intro and verse: G D Am Am7 C
Gmaj7 G
G You can take what you can Dget Am Am7 C Gmaj7
G I forgive but I forDget Am Am7 C Gmaj7
G D Am Am7 C Gmaj7
G You can never sleep eDnough Am Am7 C Gmaj7
G And your alarm is going Doff Am Am7 C Gmaj7
You Gwake up and you can't pretend
A Ddream was just a dream again
Am Won't you Am7dry your eyes? C Gmaj7
But it Gdoesn't matter anymore
You Ddid just what you did before
Am Until you Am7realize C the words
Go Gmaj7la la la la Gla
(Repeat the intro a few times)
You can dip your brain in joy
When you find the real McCoy
When some pretty boys with skinny ties
With black flowers and Valentines
Try to take you home
Do you recognize that I
Have stopped before you get too high
On your own supplies
Singing la la la la
You Cwant it, you Dgot it
You Emcan't take it Fhome
GYou got a Flong way to Cgo
GI wait forDever to Emsay that you Fwill
GYou have a Fheart to Emshow, ohhC D
G D Am Am7 C Gmaj7 G
Well you don't have to stay inside
Don't have to run, don't have to hide
Come dry your eyes
You know you can always change your mind
Maybe I will too in time
Once we understand
No one understands at all
Singing la la la la
Singing la la la la
