Shins - Saint Simonadd

VERSG 1:
      Cm        G              A#
After all these implements and texts designed by
F                D#                F
intellects we're vexed to find evidently there's
      A#
still so much that hides.
    Cm         G               A#
And though the saints dub us divine in ancient
F                  D#            F
fading lines their sentiment is just as hard to
A#
pluck from the vine.

CHORUS:
G#                       F
I'll try hard not to pretend
G#                      F          G
allow myself no mock defense as I

step into the night.

VERSG 2:
Cm    G                A#                F
Since I don't have the time nor mind to figure
        D#                   F
out the nursery rhymes that helped us out in
       A#
making sense of our lives
Cm            G                A#        F
The cruel, uneventful state of apathy releases me
  D#              F                 A#
I value them but I won't cry every time one's

wiped out.

CHORUS:
G#                         F
I'll try hard not to give in
G#                       F         G
batten down to fare the wind
G#                      F
rid my head of this pretense
G#                      F           G
allow myself no mock defense as I

step into the night

D#                A#
Mercy's eyes are blue and
Fm          G#   A#
when she places them in
D#        A#
front of you
Fm      G#       A#
nothing holds a roman
D#      A#
candle to
Fm         G#          A#
the solemn warmth you feel
G#        D#       G#        D#
Inside
