Future Kings Of Nowhere — Like A Staring Contest

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

I'm honestly making this tab for me, seeing as nobody else knows what this song is or is too lazy to make it.
honestly, it's a really simple song with only a few chords.

*=strum once
Capo 4

          D*
I've been going through the records, we're not getting any better.
          A*
Maybe I'm just getting bitter, I don't really care whatever.
       Bm*                                                              G*
I'm so tired of open warfare, when the point of this was to be best of friends.
           D*
We've been going round in circles like a plane without an engine
      A*
As we spiral down the slipstream of our quickly sinking friendship.
        Bm*                                                          G*
It's a trainwreck of an ending. It's the same as if we'd never even met.
            D
And now I'm going through the motions like a drunken ballerina
        A
who is too tired to dance but keeps on getting up to see if
   Bm                                                         G
anybody stuck around to see a show that has been over now for days.
      Em                            G
And I know that they're gone but I keep checking anyway.


           D
We've been standing here for hours on the edges of a canyon.
         A
I've got my side you've got yours and we're both about to fall in.
     Bm                                                         G
The pole we hold between us is the only thing that's keeping us aloft.
          D
And we're standing in the hallway, both resolved to finally do this.
   A
We each have our guns drawn but neither of us wants to shoot first.
          Bm                                                        G
We could stay like this forever. We could stay like this and never leave.
              D
But there are standards I expect our breaking up to measure up to.
          A
When you fall in love as hard and recklessly as you and I do,
         Bm                                                              G
It seems that the final act should have the same intensity as the first scene.
           Em                          G                       D
If I don't lose a couple teeth then it just won't feel real to me.


      Bm   G               D                  A
So we fall onto the floor, not really sure if this
            Bm    G              D              A
Is breaking bones or making out, maybe a bit of both.
            Em                             G
But I won't look away first. And you won't look away first.


        D*
"It's a simple proposition," said the rabbit to the badger,
      A*
"I am sure if we're committed, we could dig our way to China.
         Bm*                                                                G*
Wouldn't it be great to see The Wall and all those people standing on their heads?"

        D*                                D*
So they each picked up a shovel, throwing dirt over their shoulders
         A*                            A*
And with every shovelful, their little hole got a bit deeper
           Bm*                      Bm*                      G
'Till they had to climb down in it, just to reach the bottom layer.
          D
They went on like this all night, scooping up and tossing out dirt.
       A
In the morning they realized they weren't getting any further.
    Bm                                                                   G
The hole had grown so deep that the dirt they threw kept falling back on them.
         D
Said the badger to rabbit, "I am sure if we continue
        A
We will pull through this on top. Perseverance is a virtue."
        Bm                                                              G
So they scooped it and they tossed while the dirt piled up around their legs.
         Em                   G                    D
And in a matter of hours they buried themselves in it.


      Bm   G               D                  A
So we fall onto the floor, not really sure if this
            Bm    G              D              A
Is breaking bones or making out, maybe a bit of both.
            Em                             G
But I won't look away first. And you won't look away first.


          D*
I've been going through the records, we're not getting any better.
      A*
Maybe I've just gotten bitter, I don't really care whatever.
       Bm*                                                             G
I'm so tired of open warfare, when the point of this was to be best of friends.
           D*
We've been going round in circles like a plane without an engine
      A*
As we spiral down the slipstream of our quickly sinking friendship.
       Bm*                                                          G
It's a trainwreck of an ending. It's the same as if we'd never even met.
            D
But now I'm going through the motions like a dedicated doctor
      A
Whose patient has been broken with no chance that he'll recover.
       Bm                                                      G
I keep shocking at the body, just trying to make the heartbeat stay.
      Em                        G           D
And I know that it's gone but I keep trying anyway.


        Bm   G               D                  A
Yeah we fall onto the floor, not really sure if this
            Bm    G              D              A
Is breaking bones or making out, maybe a bit of both.
            Em                             G
But I won't look away first. And you won't look away first.
           Em                             G                  (end on D)
No I won't look away first. And you won't look away first.
