The Shins Know Your Onion! Lyrics

"(1)
this is the tab for the great song "Know Your Onion!" from their debut
INTRO:
Shut out, pimpled and angry
I quietly tied all my guts into knots
Gave up trying to make 'em
Figured it'd take 'em too long to look up
C#minor E A E
And besides, it was undeniably clear to me, I dunno why
C#minor D A
When every other part of love seemed locked behind shutters
I knew the worthless dregs we've always been
Lucked out, found my favourite record
Lying in wait at the Birmingham Mall
The songs that I heard, the occasional book
Were the only fun I ever took
And I got on with making myself
Now the trick is just making yourself
But when they're parking their cars on your chest
You've still got a view of the summer sky
To make it hurt twice when your restless body caves to it's whim
And suddenly struggles to take flight
Repeat Intro
Three thousand miles north-east
I left all my friends at the morning bus stop shaking their heads
What kind of life you dream of? You're allergic to love
B A B C#minor
Yes I know but I must say in my own defense
It's been undeniably dear to me, I dunno why
C#minor E A E
When every other part of love seemed locked behind shutters
I knew the worthless dregs we are
The selfless, loving saints we are
The melting, sliding dice we've always been
Enjoy!
