Sufjan Stevens - The Only Thing: chords

G#         D#        Fm            D#           A#
The only thing that keeps me from driving this car
Cm          D#       Fm        G#        A#
Half-light Jackknife into the canyon at night
G#         D#       Fm       D#              A#
Signs and Wonders: Perseus aligned with the skull
Cm      D#     Fm      G#            A#
Slain Medusa: Pegasus alight from us all

Chorus:
     Cm         D#
Do I care if I survive this?
 G#                          A#
Bury the dead where they're found
     Cm             D#
In a veil of great surprises,
G#                         A#
I wonder did you love me at all

The only thing that keeps me from cutting my arm
Cross hatch, warm bath, Holiday Inn after dark
Signs and wonders: water stain riding the wall
Daniel’s message; blood of the moon on us all

Chorus:
Do I care if I despise this?
Nothing else matters, I know
In a veil of great disguises;
how do I live with your ghost?

          Cm               A#
Should I tear my eyes out now?
    Cm        G#    D#              A#
Everything I see returns to you somehow.
          Cm                 A#
Should I tear my heart out now?
      Cm      G#    D#                A#
Everything I feel returns to you somehow. mmmm
           G#                  A#
I want to save you from your sorrow.

The only reason why I continue at all
Faith in reason, I wasted my life playing dumb
Signs and wonders: sea lion caves in the dark
Blind faith, God’s grace,
nothing else left to impart

Chorus:
Do I care if I survive this?
Bury the dead where they’re found
In a veil of great surprises;
hold to my head till I drown
Should I tear my eyes out now,
before I see too much?
Should I tear my arms out now?
I wanna feel your touch

Should I tear my eyes out now?
Everything I see returns to you, somehow
Should I tear my heart out now?
Everything I feel returns to you, somehow
