Little Bribes [Version] Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
The Eiffel tower built [D]to
smaller scale
The freshest oxygen I'd
ever [G]inhale
I tapped a bottle against a safety rail,
killing time
[D]

[Verse 2]
And you were like a walking compliment
Tall in stature and exceptionally read
[G]In dummy glasses and a cardigan
Oh, come on
[D]

[Verse 3]
And oh so [F]empty [Dm]were the faces of the
[Em]dealers and the [G]waitresses around
[D]

[Verse 4]
You said that all these things
you've learned to ignore
The hidden cameras on the casino floor
[G]And what gets paid for behind hotel doors
Oh, come on
[D]

[Verse 5]
You [Dm]pretend [F]every slot ma[Dm]chine is
a [Em]robot [G]amputee waving hel[D]lo
The [Dm]people stare into their eyes and they [G]feed
them little bribes and then [D]they go

[Interlude 1]
[D][Em]

[Verse 6]
The never-ending [F#]twilight
[Em]twilight
In a basement where the
[Bm]sun has [A]never [Em]split
You said that you were [F#]lonely
[Bm]And then we [A]kissed like
[G]lonely people do

[Interlude 2]
[E][D][G]

[Verse 7]
[D]You said the city has a beating heart
That pushes people down the boulevard
And they're all hoping for a wish fulfilled
In a desert for a dollar bill
[G]Those foolish dreams,
you know they plague me still
Oh, come on
[D][Dm]

[Verse 8]
[Em]
[G]And [D]oh [Dm]so empty were the faces
Of the [Em]dealers [G]and the waitresses
[D]around [X2]

[Verse 9]
They're [Bm]empty[A][D]

[Outro 1]
[G][D][E][D]
