Death Cab for Cutie - I Was Once a Loyal Lover: chords

     A
Will I have learned so very little
F#m                  D
When these bones are old and brittle?
I wait to talk when I should listen
And cloud mistakes with false revisions
All my friends are forward-thinking
Getting hitched and quitting drinking
And I can feel them pulling away
As I'm resigned to stay the same

Chorus:
    F#m       E     A    E   Bm
And you can't even begin to know
     F#m  E          A      E       Bm       D
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"

I was once a loyal lover
Whose lips did never seek another's
And now each love's more like a match
A blinding spark that burns out fast
And they all conclude with the same sentence
"I've never met someone more self-centered
Who thinks that life with a nice girl's like
Waiting for a bus to work"

Chorus:
And you can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me

F#m             G
If you deem it so
 D                     A
Just cut the cord and go
F#m        G
You'll be fine
          D                  E
There's plenty of hills to climb

You can't even begin to know
How many times I've told myself "I told you so"
And you can't even begin to believe
There's so many bridges engulfed in flames behind me
