Bright Eyes - Mariana Trench Chords

[Verse 1]
            C                     D5
Well they’d better save some space for me
        Em               F
In that growing cottage industry
      G      E       Am
Where selfishness is currency
       F
People spend more than they make
 
     C                  D5
So I wrapped my head in bandages
         Em               F
From the string of happy accidents
  G          E   Am
I guess maybe I asked for it
    F
But who am I to say
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
    Em                                  Am          G
The closing bell death tolls, hear the market crash
         F                   G              C
A crying trader swears he’ll get out of the game
            Em                                Am       D/F#
The cowboy drinks himself to death, fresh out of rehab
              F                              G
While they’re loading all the rifles on the range
 
 
[Chorus 1]
N.C.            C
Look up at that Everest
                  F
Look down in that Mariana Trench
                Am                                    G
Look now as the crumbling 405 falls down, oh when the big one hits
 
                 C
Look out for the plainclothes
                      F
Look out for what the wiretap knows
                Am                                     G     C
Look out on the ever-widening money trail and where it goes
 
 
[Verse 2]
           C               D5
It takes a lot of gall to try to please
        Em          F
These dehumanizing entities
    G           E   Am
I befriended all my enemies
            F
They had my back against the wall
 
     C                 D5
Oh a coward is what a coward does
    Em            F
I suppose maybe I always was
        G         E      Am
But I’m sick of it, I’ve had enough
            F
And now I’m ready for the war
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
    Em                              Am        G
The lion bows his head down to the ringmaster
         F                      G                    C  G
With the tightrope stretched so high above the crowd
          Em                           Am             D/F#
All these faces are contortionists, it must have hurt
             F                          G
’Cause they all looked as unhappy as a clown
 
 
[Chorus 2]
N.C.              C
Look long at that Stonehenge
                 F
Look quick is it something you missed
               Am                                            G
Look into that smoldering building’s bombed out fog until it finally lifts
 
                C
Look up at that big wave
                  F
Look down at your other brother’s grave
                Am                                            G
Look hard for a harder something to sacrifice, that’s what it takes
 
That’s what it takes
 
 
[Bridge]
D5                G
   That’s what it takes, hmm
D5                G
   That’s what it takes, ha
D5                G
   That’s what it takes, ha
D5        G
   Ha, ha, ha
 
 
[Chorus 3]
                C
Look up at that Everest
N.C.              F
Look down in that Mariana Trench
                Am                                    G
Look now as the crumbling 405 falls down, oh when the big one hits
 
                 C
Look out for the plainclothes
                    F
Speak soft what the wiretap knows
                Am                                     G
Look out on the ever-widening money trail and where it goes
                  C
Where does it go?
