Civilian Lyrics
by Wye Oak
Four chords: Em, D, Am7, C
Verse picking pattern
(Verse)
I am nothing without pretend
I know my faults
Can't live with them
I am nothing without a man
I know my thoughts
But I can't hide them
Main chord progression between verses
(Verse)
I still keep my baby teeth
In the bedside table with my jewelry
You still sleep in the bed with me,
My jewelry, and my baby teeth
G--9--9--9--9--|--7--7--7--7--| with Hammer-ons x 4
D--------------|--------------| (listen for exact rhythm etc.)
(Verse)
I don't need another friend
When most of them
I can barely keep up with
I'm perfectly able to hold my own hand,
but I still can't kiss my own neck
(Verse)
I wanted to give you everything
but I still stand in awe of superficial things
I wanted to love you like my mother's mother's mothers did
