Birdy (orig. by Postal Service) - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
- No Capo -
Intro:
C - F - Am -Am (Repeat 3x)
C F Am Am
Smeared black ink
C F Am
Your face is ashen and I'm barely listening
C F Am
To last demands
C F
I'm staring at the asphalt wondering
Am Am
What's buried underneath
Am F G7 G7
Where I am
Am F G7 G7
Where I am
C F Am Am
I'll wear my badge
C F Am
A vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest
C F Am
That tells your new friends
C F
I am a visitor here
Am
I am not permanent
C F Am
And the only thing
C F Am
Keeping me dry is
Am F G7 G7
Where I am (In this gaudy apartment complex)
[You seem so out of context]
Am F G7 G7
Where I am (Explaining that I am just visiting)
[A stranger with your door key]
Am F G7 G7
Where I am (why I was the one worth leaving)
[And I am finally seeing]
F C
(Why I was the one worth leaving)
Am G7 F
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
Am G7 F D
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
Am F G7 G7
Where I am (In this gaudy apartment complex)
[You seem so out of context]
Am F G7 G7
Where I am (Explaining that I am just visiting)
[A stranger with your door key]
C F G7 G7 C
Where I am (why I was the one worth leaving)
[And I am finally seeing]
F C
(Why I was the one worth leaving)
Am F G7 ( Dm ) Am
The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights
F G7 Am
And leave the autos swerving into the loneliest evening
Am F G7 F Am
And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving
G7 F C
Why I was the one worth leaving
G7 F C
Why I was the one worth leaving
G7 F C
Why I was the one worth leaving
