Caring is Creepy
By The Shins
[Verse 1]
Bm A G Em D A G
I think I'll go home and mull this over, before I cram it down my throat
Bm A G Em D A G
At long last it's crashed, its colossal mass, is broken up into bits in my moat
[Chorus]
Em D Em D Em D A G
Lift the mattress off the floor, walk the cramps off, meander in the cold
Em D Em D Em D A G
Hail to your dark skin, hiding the fact you're dead again
Em D Em D Em D A G
Underneath the power lines seeking shade
[Bridge]
D/F# G

Far a - bove our heads are the icy heights that contain all reason
[Verse 2]
Bm A G Em D A G
It's a luscious mix of words and tricks, that let us bet when you know we should fold
Bm A G Em D A G
On rocks I dreamt of where we'd stepped, and of the whole mess of roads we're now on
[Chorus]
Em D Em D Em D A G
Hold your glass up, hold it in, never betray the way you've always known it is
Em D Em D Em D A G
One day I'll be wondering how, I got so old just wondering how
Em D Em D Em D A G
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow
Em D Em D Em D A G
This is way beyond my remote concern of being condescending
[Post-Chorus]
Bm A G D/F# Em D/F# G
Oh these squawking birds won't quit
Bm A G D/F# Em D/F# G
Building nothing laying bricks
[Bridge]
D/F# G G D/F# Em D D D D D D
[Interlude]
Bm A G Em D A G
[Chorus]
Em D Em D Em D A G
Hold your glass up, hold it in, never betray the way you've always known it is
Em D Em D Em D A G
One day I'll be wondering how, I got so old just wondering how
Em D Em D Em D A G
I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow
Em D Em D Em D A G
This is way beyond my remote concern of being condescending
[Post-Chorus]
Bm A G D/F# Em D/F# G
Oh these squawking birds won't quit
Bm A G D/F# Em D/F# G
Building nothing laying bricks
