Mission Bells Lyrics

Mission Bells by Matt Nathanson
I palm mute the verses and fully strum the chorus, with single strums during the
bridge. Whatever works, I guess.
Em: 022000
G6: 320000
Cmaj7: x32000
Em7: 022033
G: 320033
Cadd9: x32033
Intro: (Em, G6, Cmaj7) x2
I had a dream you died,
and I just want to be with you tonight
Mission bells were ringing
somewhere higher,
I let you get away
I let you get away
What kind of man misunderstands
a woman like you,
sees her in black and white?
It's 5 AM and phone book says that you're not alone
in the cold gray morning light
The only one that's left to trust,
my faithless heart that wasted us.
I had a dream you died,
and I just want to be with you tonight
Mission bells were ringing
somewhere higher,
I let you get away
I let you get away
What kind of fool thinks love's a prison
or a handicap,
only says goodbye?
Sinking fast in the rocky waters off Alcatraz,
his friends say suicide
The only one that's left to trust,
my faithless heart that wasted us.
I had a dream you died,
and I just want to be with you tonight
Mission bells were ringing
somewhere higher,
I let you get away
I let you get away
I'm the end of a Hitchcock movie
a little dark and a lot confusing
I'm the last of the worst pretenders
so lost, so lost in love
I'm the end of a Hitchcock movie
a little dark and a lot confusing
I'm the last of the worst pretenders
so lost, so lost in love
I had a dream you died,
and I just want to be with you tonight
Mission bells were ringing
somewhere higher,
I let you get away
I let you get away
