BOOKS FROM BOXES - Maximo Park
Tuning: Standard E-A-D-G-B-E
Bb F Dm C Csus4 C Bb
Bb F Dm C
Night falls and towns become circuit boards
Bb C Dm
We can beat the sun as long as we keep moving
Bb F Dm C
From the air, stadium lights stand out like flares
C Csus4 C Bb
And all I know is that you're sat here right next to me
Bb F Dm C
We rarely see warning signs in the air we breathe
Bb C Dm
Right now I feel each and every fragment
Bb C Dm C
This paper trail leads right back to you
Bb C Dm
You say you need me to step outside
Dm F Bb
You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes
C
You passed me up so as not to break a promise
Dm F Bb
Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar
C
In the long run, said you knew that this would happen
Bb F Dm C
Well this is something new but it turns out it was borrowed too
C Csus4 C Bb
Why does every let down have to be so thin?
Bb F Dm C
Rain explodes at the moment that the cab door closed
Bb C Dm
I feel the weight upon your kiss ambiguous
Bb C Dm C
You have to leave, I appreciate that
Bb C Dm
But I hate when conversation slips out of our grasp
You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes
You passed me up so as not to break a promise
Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar in the long run
Said you knew that this would happen
Bm G
Two bodies in motion
A
This is a matter of fact, it wasn't built to last (X2)
You spent the evening unpacking books from boxes
You passed me up so as not to break a promise
Scattered polaroids and sprinkled words around your collar in the long run
Said you knew that this would happen
Dm F Bb
The pounding rain continued it's bleak fall
C
And we decided just to write after all, after all
Bb F Dm C Csus4 C Bb
Bb F Dm C
The pounding rain continued it's bleak fall
Bb C Dm
And we decided just to write after all
