Ship in a Bottle
guitar tabs lyrics
Here�s a tab for Ship in a Bottle by Bright Eyes. It�s not an easy one to tab, but I
this is accurate, and it works OK even if it�s not entirely right.
Intro: F#m D x4
(use the 2nd fret F#m and the open D, because you need to hit the F# on the high E
every time you play)
F#m D
I wanna be the surgeon that cuts you open,
F#m D
That fixes all of life's mistakes
F#m D
I wanna be the house that you were raised in
F#m D
The only place that you feel safe
F#m D
I wanna be a shower in the morning
F#m D
That wakes you up and makes you clean
F#m D
I know I'm just the weather against your window
F#m D A
As you sleep through a winter's dream
F#m
Someones churning the earth
C#m
Someone's stirring the sky
E F#m
Every color at once in a column of lights
F#m C#m
Bacteria breeds on a microscope slide
E Ab
The worm in my heart's the apple of your eye
A B
Don't adore what is impossible
E Ab
We have built this ship in a wine bottle
A
But if you knew how it worked,
Ab
We'd have to grow old
Bridge: F#m D x12
A
F#m C#m
Someone's eating at you, wakes you up in the night
E F#m
If you're digging the past, who knows what you'll find
F#m C#m
Read the newspaper print off the microfiche slide
E Ab
And you're holding your breath for the rest of your life
A B
Don't you love what is intangible
E Ab
I have built this ship in a wine bottle
A
But if you knew who I waaaaaas...
Ab
You would never grow old
