Shins - Saint Simonadd

VERSE 1: Am E GAfter all these implements and texts designed byD C Dintellects we're vexed to find evidently there's Gstill so much that hides. Am E GAnd though the saints dub us divine in ancientD C Dfading lines their sentiment is just as hard toGpluck from the vine.
CHORUS:F DI'll try hard not to pretendF D Eallow myself no mock defense as I
step into the night.
VERSE 2:Am E G DSince I don't have the time nor mind to figure C Dout the nursery rhymes that helped us out in Gmaking sense of our livesAm E G DThe cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me C D GI value them but I won't cry every time one's
wiped out.
CHORUS:F DI'll try hard not to give inF D Ebatten down to fare the windF Drid my head of this pretenseF D Eallow myself no mock defense as I
step into the nightAm E C D EELa la la laELa la la laC GLa la la laDm F Gla la la la la la
