Marching Bands Of Manhattan Acoustic chords by Death Cab For Cutie

• Capo on 3rd

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)


VERSE 1
G          D
If I could open my arms
Am              Fm
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan,
G             D
I'd bring it to where you are
Am           Fm
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson
G            D
And if I could open my mouth
Am         Fm
Wide enough for a marching band to march out of
G             D
They would make your name sing
Am               Fm
And bend through alleys and bounce off other buildings.

VERSE 2
G             D
I wish we could open our eyes
Am         Fm
To see in all directions at the same time
G          D
Oh what a beautiful view
Am         Fm
If you were never aware of what was around you
G            D
And it is true what you said
Am         Fm
That I live like a hermit in my own head
G            D
But when the sun shines again
Am              Fm
I'll pull the curtains and blinds to let the light in.

CHORUS
Em           Fm
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
G              D
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
Em           Fm
But while you debate half empty or half full
G        D
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown

Em   Fm   G   D
             Your love is gonna drown
Em   Fm   G   D
             Your love is gonna...
