                      Kissing The Lipless - The Shins
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I tried to make this as non-confusing as possible, which is a challenge due 
to the ambiguousness of the chords used. It should be mostly accurate.

Chords:
   B     Db   Ebm    E    Ebm7    C#     Cb    Gb
e--2-----4-----6-----7-----11-----11-----7-----9----|
