(ver. 1)
Shins
D -> C x5   D

D		D		   F
Doted on like seeds planted in rows 
	C	   C		 D
The untied shoelaces of you life
	        F#m			D
Nurtured all year then pressed in a book 
	C	        F#m           D
Or displayed in bad taste at the table 
	    D  			 C
Problems arise and you fan the fire 
		  C				 D
While there's a wild pack of dogs loose in your house tonight. 
         D                           F
Cut from bad cloth or soiled like socks 
		 C	             F
Add it up and basically people never change. 

                        	     C
They just talk and make plans in the dark 
         F		            C
Or make haste with ideas that can't help 
 		      C
But creep good people out 
 	     C		 	     F
As you talk to me too much you're assuming 
C                  C	       D	F#m
We don't always want what's right.

Did I strike the right set of chords? you're annoyed. 
       C         C                  D
The goal is to ignite you then move on. 
	        F#m		  D	
You feel ill at ease. you got no squeeze. 
	  C		  F#m		   D
And the wise cracks won't make you more stable. 
		   D			 C
You've learned you lines to scale and to time. 
              C				D
Why must I remind you now i'm only less able. 

	        D                  F
Cut from bad cloth or soiled like socks 
		  C			      F
We're ordinary people we can't help but to change 
        	     C
As we walk and make plans in the dark 
 	   F		             C
Or make haste with the boy who can't help 
 		       C
But creep good people out. 
	     C			     F
As you talk to me too much you're assuming 
		 C	      D		F#m
We don't always want what's right. 

D	      D                  C
Two fallen saplings in an open field. 
              C                  D
Snow padding gently on an empty bench. 
		    D	         C
An old woman's jewelry lying unadorned. 
		C                    D
Cold nesting robins allied for the first time. 
		 D	         C
I know when you hear these sappy lines 
		  C			F
You'll roll your eyes and say "nice try".
