R.E.M. - Life And How To Live It: chords

C                                   D
Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
C                           D
To doors to go between the wall was raised today
C                           D
To doors remain before your others and your own
C                                       D
Keep these books well stocked away and take your happy home.

Chorus:
    G
My carpenter's out and running about,
                    D
talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
Barking in the street to tell what
I have hidden there

Burn bright through the night, two pockets lead the way
Two doors to go between the wall was raised today
Raise the walls to chide its flaws, the carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side, the other serves you best

Chorus

     F                               C
The hills ringing hear the words in time
               D
Listen to the holler
Listen to my walls within my tongue
Can't you see you made my ears go tin?
The air quicken tension building
inference and suddenly
Life and how to live it

Raise the walls to chide its flaws, the carpenter should rest
So that when you tire of one side, the other serves you best
Read about the wisdom lost, the knock-knock-knock
A secret knock, one hammer's locked, the other wisdom lost

Chorus:
My carpenter's out and running about
and talking to the street
My pockets are out and running about
and barking in the street
To tell what I have hidden there
My carpenter's out and running about
and barking in the...
Listen to the holler
My pockets are out and running about
and barking in the street
To tell what I have hidden there

Listen, listen to the holler
I'm gonna write a book, it will be called Life
and How to Live It
