The Shins Girl Sailor

Tom: D Tabbed by: AlexLeff Email: Tuning: Standard Intro: D --Verse 1-- A E The gutter may profess its love, A Dbm D Then follow it with hesitation, A Dbm E D E But there are just so many of you out there for rent A E A stronger girl would shake this off in flight, A Dbm D And never give it more than a frowning hour, A Dbm E But you have let your heart decide, loss has conquered you, --Chorus-- D E D You've won one too many fights, E Wearing many hats every time, D E A D E But you wont win here tonight, --Verse 2-- Same chords as Verse 1 You've made it through the direst of straits alright, Can you help it if plain love now seems less interesting? You haven't changed an ounce in my eyes, And I cannot lecture you, And does anything I say seem relevant at all? You've been at the helm since you were just five, While I cannot claim to be more than a passenger, --Chorus-- D E D But, you've won one too many fights, E D Wearing all of your clothes at the same time, E Gbm Let the good times end tonight, G D E Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her, this time D (Repeat Intro) --Guitar Solo-- A E A Dbm D A Dbm E Verse chords --Middle Part-- Gbm G Gbm Just a moment or two from now, G Gbm Not a mind will retain even a trace, G D Of the thoughts that I struggled to tell E And how our stack of cards just fell, --Verse 3-- Same chords as Verse 1 So settle this once and for all, The light no longer shows the cracks around my door, And I have no lantern to light your way home tonight, --Chors-- Same chords as previous chorus You are not some saint who's above, Giving someone a stroll through the flowers, You've got so much more to dream of, Oh girl, sail her, don't sink her, This time, This time, This time.
