Modigliani Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]"Loving father, friend an[Em]d son"
Printed [C]backward[D]s on
[C]my shoulder blade
From leaning [G]back on a plaque
on a [Em]bench
I carry [C]David's name until [Em]it fades

[Verse 2]
[D]Why does it feel signific[Em]ant?
[C]Why do I [D]have [C]to tell [D]you [C]about it?
[G]Trying to fall asleep,
[Em]back flat on the floor
While you [D]were eating continental
[C]breakfast in Singa[G]pore
You make me homesick for [C]places
I've [Em]never been [D]before
How'd [C]you do that?

[Interlude 1]
How's tomorrow so far?
[G][D][G][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]Meeting your family was a trip
[Em]Seeing what you got from them
[D]For [G]better or wor[C]se
A blessing and a curse
[G]You don't need to love
them but you [D]do
You could take [G]off a year [D]or two
Well, I'll be [C]here when
you get [G]back

[Verse 4]
When you told me 'bout your [Em]new
man it wasn't [G]news
[C]'Cause you've got all these
manner[Em]isms that you [Esus4]never do
[D]Like rolling you[G]r eyes and
laugh[Em]ing real dry
Like [G]you were [C]trying him [G]on [Am]for size
And [G]even if [Bm]it doesn[G]'t fit,
you'll wear [C]it
'Cause [Am]if it's what you want,
you're [C]gonna get it

[Interlude 2]
[Am][G][Em][G][C]
[Am]
I've [C]heard this anecdote at least

[Verse 5]
[C]
a [G]dozen times
Yeah, I [Em]know [C]every word and
inflec[G]tion as if it were mine
[C]I like watching[Am] you win[C]
over a new crowd
[G]You can [Em]make 'em go wild,
you can leave [C]'em spell[G]bound
But [C]you will [Am]nev er [G]be
[Em]Famous [C]to me
You will [Am]never [G]be
[F]Famous [C]to me

[Verse 6]
[G]
I should know my neighbor's [Em]names
I should not stay up [C]so late
Modigliani mel[Em]ancholy
got me long in [C]the face
[G]But I feel better when you[Em] call
Just to tell me how you [D]are
How'd you do [C]that?

[Verse 7]
How's tomorrow so far?
[G]You make me homesick for places
[C]I've never bee[Em]n bef[C]ore
How'd you do [Em]that?

[Outro 1]
How's tomorrow so far?
[G][C]
