Shins - Sphagnum Esplanade Chords

Am  Em       G
how lovely a find
      C   D     Am
will tend to my mind
G        F    Em
along this mossy trail
    Am  Em       G
and how coyly it hides
    C     D     Am
the truth about how
   G     F       Em
it is we can ask how

C              Dm
crowds jump to their deaths
F                       C    G
from the bridges I drive by tonight
C                   Dm
they miss out on it all
                            F
the whole gist that as they fall
                            C
you're not expected to know why
            G
it's such a short time
G
and there are stanzas never meant to rhyme

Am  Em       G
far better I find
    C D       Am     G
it is when we try to span
F            Em
the weird divide
     Am Em        G
with no real rationale
   C    D      Am         G
we step out of bounds and think
      F       Em
and escape the lies

    C
and we've marched,
Dm     F
so long but we've much farther
           C      G
than we've gone to go
    C               Dm
and we'll make a new ship
                   F
christen it for the trip
                      C         G
with a toddler at the helm this time
G
and there are things we never will define
