Weakerthans - Aside Ukulele

Tuned down half step to Eb

Intro: F, G , F x2

F
Measure me in metered lines
      Am
And one decisive stare
      G                               F
The time it takes to get from here to there
    F
My ribs that show through t-shirts
             Am
And these shoes I got for free
         G
I'm unconsoled
       F
I'm lonely, I am
      G               F     Am       D
So much better than I used to be

F, G, F x2

Same chords for second verse

Terrified of telephones
And shopping malls and knives
Drowning in the pools of other lives
Rely a bit too heavily
On alcohol and irony
Get clobbered on 
By courtesy
    G                  F         Am           D
In love with love and lousy poetry

Chorus:

F                        F
And I'm leaning on this broken fence

         Am                 F
Between past and present tense
           F              F
And I'm losing all those stupid games
         Am              F
That I swore I'd never play
           Am    G     F       G         F   F       G         F
But it almost feels okay

Am                     G
Circumnavigate this body
Am            G        F
Of wonder and uncertainty
Am                             G
Armed with every precious failure
Am        G          F
And amateur cartography

I'm breathing deep before
    G            F                     Am       D
I spread those maps out on my bedroom floor

Chorus:

F                        F
And I'm leaning on this broken fence

         Am                 F
Between past and present tense
           F              F
And I'm losing all those stupid games
         Am              F
That I swore I'd never play
           Am    G              F       G         F
But it feels okay    And I'm leaving with goodbye
F             G       F
And I'm losing but I'll try
Am              G
With the last ways left
Am              G
To remember sing
Am              G         F
My imperfect offering

Great song from an equally great movie (Wedding Crashers), and extremely simple!
