Pressed In A Book Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][D][C][D][C][D][C][D][C][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Doted on [D]like seeds
planted [Bb]in rows
[F]The untied [C]shoelaces [G]of your life
Nurtured [Bm]all year, then pressed in [D]a book
Or [C]displayed in bad [Bm]taste
at the [G]table
Problems [D]arise and you fan [F]the fire
While there's [C]a wild pack of dogs loose
[G]in your house tonight
Cut you from [Bm]bad cloth or
soiled like [G]sock[Bb]s
Add it up and basic[C]ally
people never change
[Bb]They just talk and make plans

[Verse 2]
[Am]in the dark
[F]Or make has[Bb]te with ideas
that [F]can't [Am]help
But creep [C]good [F]people [Bb]out
As you [F]talk [Am]to me too much,
[F]you're assum[Bb]ing
We don't [F]al ways [Am]want what's
[C]right[D]
[Bm]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Did I strike the [D]right set
of chords? You're annoyed
[Bb]The goal[F] is to ignite[C]
you, then [G]move on
You feel ill [Bm]at ease, you
got no [D]squeeze
And the [C]wise crack[G]s won't
[Bm]make [G]you more stable
You've learned [D]you lines
to scale and to [F]time
Why must I re[C]mind you now
[G]I'm only less able
Cut from bad [Bm]cloth or
soiled like sock[Bb]s
We're ordinary [C]people,
we can't help but to change
[Bb]As we walk

[Verse 4]
and [F]make plans [Am]in the dark
[F]Or [Bb]make haste with the boy
who [F]can't help
[Am]But creep good p[F]eople [Bb]out
As you [F]talk to [Am]me too mu[F]ch,
you're assum[Bb]ing
We don't al[F]ways [Am]want
what's [C]right
[D]

[Verse 5]
[G]
Two fallen sap[D]lings in an open [F]field
Snow padding [C]gently on an empty [G]bench
An old woman's jew[D]elry lying unadorned
[F]Coal nesting rob[C]ins allied
for [G]the first time
I know when [D]you hear these sappy lines
[F]You'll roll your eye[C]s and say, "nice try"
