Death Cab for Cutie - Diamond and a Tether
This sounds right to me, listen to the song to get the right rhythm. I left out
the two extended portions of the song for simplicity's sake.
Verse:
G C G
Pity, take pity on me.
C Am C G
'Cause I'm not half the man that I should be.
C G C G
Always turning to run,
C Am C G C G
C G C G
And darling, you should know
C Am C G
that I have fantasies about being alone.
C G
It's like love is a lesson,
C G
that I can't learn.
C Am C G
I make the same mistakes at each familiar turn.
Chorus:
Em C G
I know you can't hold out forever
Em C G D
waiting on a diamond and a tether
Em C
B7 Em
but who will dip his toe in
A7 C G C G
just to keep you here with him.
Verse:
C G C G
I've got this habit I abhor.
C Am C G
When we go out I'm always watching the door.
C G C G
As if there's someone I'm gonna see
C Am C G
who could outdo the things that you do to me.
Chorus:
Em C G
And I know you can't hold out forever
Em C G D
waiting on a diamond and a tether
Em C
B7 Em
but who will take to the skies
A7 C G C G C
if he thinks you are about to say goodbye.
Verse:
G C G
Pity, take pity on me.
C Am C G
'cause I'm not half the man that I should be.
C G
And I don't blame you,
C G
you've had enough,
C Am C G
of all these empty promises and countless bluffs.
Chorus:
Em C G
'cause I know you can't hold out forever
Em C G D
waiting on a diamond and a tether
Em C B7 Em
A7 C Em
He just stands with his toes on the edge
A7 C G
and he waits for it do disappear again.
