Broken Yolk In Western Sky Chords

(ver. 1)
Ben Gibbard
INTRO: G  


Broken yolk in western sky
   D                                  C   Am
My stomach turned, my mouth went dry___
               G                 D
And I knew I'd never know fear before


  G
I pressed my palms into the seat
     D                                C   Am
With one last look at you next to me___
         G                D
I kicked open the sliding door


CHORUS:
      C                       G
And I threw myself out on the road
C                     G
Torn flesh and broken bones
           Em                A
And in the shoulder's patchy grass
  C                G
I faded into your past



I know it was a cowardly thing to do
            D                             C   Am
And that an explanation is not an excuse___
       G                D
I just need you to understand


   G
My love is like some kind of greed
   D                                C   Am
Of equal portions 'want' and 'need___'
      G                  D
And I cannot divorce the two


CHORUS:
      C                  G
But I could not sleep at all
             C                  G
With all the rumble strip close calls
       Em                   A
In the gravel and scattered trash
  C                G     Em
I faded into your past


BRIDGE:
               G
When you think twice
     Am                   C         Em
You arrive at the same conclusions
               G
And it's bad advice
D           C
Only if you use it


INSTRUMENTAL: G      D   C  Am  G      D   C  Am  G


CHORUS:
             C                G
And then you disappeared from view
          C             G
And you became somebody new
         Em         A
Near the exit's overpass
  C               G
I faded into your past
       C               G
Yes, I faded into your past
       C               G
Yes, I faded into your past
