A haunting song from DeVotchKa's new album, 100 Lovers. Purely brilliant!
Intro (F-Am-F-C)
[F]All your precious souls
have been [Am]bought and sold
for bargain [F]basement lows
to common [C]criminals
Now you're [F]having visions
adverse f[Am]lying conditions
over[F]seas transmissions
to [C]anyone who will listen
(repeat intro)
Waiting for the [F]drums to kick in
you want to free your [Am]earthbound limbs
I am gonna [F]count to three
then you are [C]leaving here with me
[(Dm-Am-Gm-C)]
[Dm]Are we wasting all our precious time?
[Am]Chasing dollars, chasing dimes
[Gm]German, English, Japanese
[C]And all the sand in all the sea
[Dm]It's all in place, it's all laid out
[Am]as we speak it's going down
[Gm]Don't forget me, regretfully
[C]Here's the part that always gets me
(repeat intro)
You float [F]across the room
your lips are [Am]in full bloom
pedals fall [F]from your mouth
have you [C]found me out?
We've been [F]here before
a lovers' [Am]civil war
I will wait [F]religiously
don't forget that [C]you came here with me
[(Dm-Am-Gm-C)]
[Dm]Are we wasting all our precious time?
[Am]Chasing dollars, chasing dimes
[Gm]German, English, Japanese
[C]And all the sand in all the sea
[Dm]It's all in place, it's all laid out
[Am]as we speak it's going down
[Gm]Don't forget me, regretfully
[C]Here's the part that always gets me
(repeat intro x3)
