Shell Games Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Took the fireworks and the vanity
[F#dim]The circuit boar[F]d
and [C]the city streets
Shoot[F]ing star, swaying [C]palm tree
[G]Laid it at the arbiter's feet

[Verse 2]
[Am]If I could change my mind,
change the [F#dim]paradigm
Pre[F]pare myself for an[C]other life
For[F]give myself for [C]the many times
I was [G]cruel to something
helpless and [Am]weak

[Verse 3]
[F]But here it comes, that [G]heavy love
I'm nev[C]er going to move
it [Am]alone[A]
[F]Here it comes, that [G]heavy love
[C]Tag it on a tenement [Am]wall[A]
[F]Here it comes, that [G]heavy love
[E]Someone's got to share in the [Am]load
[F]Here it comes, that [G]heavy love
I'm nev[F]er going to [G]move it alone
[C][G][F]

[Interlude 1]
[E][Am][C][F][G][C][F][Am]
[G]

[Verse 4]
I [Am]was dressed in white,
touched [F#dim]by something pure
[F]Death obsessed like [C]a teenager
Sold my tor[F]tured youth,
piss and [C]vinegar
I'm still [G]angry with no reason to [Am]be

[Verse 5]
At the [Am]architect who ima[F#dim]gined this
For the [F]everyman, blessed [C]Sisyphus
Slipping [F]steadily into [C]madness
Now [G]that's the only place to be [Am]free

[Verse 6]
But [F]here it comes, that heavy [G]love
You're nev[C]er going
to move it [Am]alone
[F]Here it comes, that [G]heavy love
Tat[C]tooed on a criminal's [Am]arm
[F]Here it comes, that [G]heavy love
[E]Someone got to share in the [Am]load
[F]Here it comes, that [G]heavy love
You're nev[F]er going [G]to move it alone
[C][G][F]

[Interlude 2]
[E][Am][C][F][G][C][F][Am]
[G]

[Verse 7]
No, [Am]I don't wa[E]nt to pl[C]ay
It's [F]a shell [C]game,
it's [F]a shell [Dm]game
[G]

[Verse 8]
Distor[Am]ted sounds o[F#dim]n
oscilloscopes
Distorted [F]facts, I could never [C]cope
[F]My private life is an in[C]side joke
No one will ex[G]plain it to [Am]me

[Verse 9]
We'll be [Am]everything [A]that we
[F#m]ever n[F#dim]eeded
[F]Everyone, on [C]the count of three!
[F]Everyone, on the [C]count of three!
All to[G]gether now!

[Verse 10]
[F]Here it comes, that [G]heavy love
We're nev[C]er going
to move it [Am]alone
[F]Here it comes, that [G]heavy love
[C]Playing as the cylinder [Am]rolls
[F]Here it comes, that [G]heavy love
I [E]only want to share in the [Am]load
[F]Here it comes, that [G]heavy love
I'm nev[F]er going [G]to move

[Outro 1]
it alone
[C][G][F][E][C][G][F][E]
