Marching Bands Of Manhattan – Death Cab for Cutie

[Verse 1]

1                   5
If I could open my arms 
2                            4
And span the length of the isle of Manhattan, 
I'd bring it to where you are 
Making a lake of the East River and Hudson 
And if I could open my mouth 
Wide enough for a marching band to march out of 
They would make your name sing 
And bend through alleys and bounce off other buildings. 


[Instrumental]

1   6   1   5   
1   6   1   5


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

4                     6              
Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole 
1                            5
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound 
4                     6
But while you debate half empty or half full 
1               5
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown


[Outro]

4      6      1      5
                         Your love is gonna drown
                         Your love is gonna drown
                         Your love is gonna drown
                         Your love is gonna drown
                         Your love is gonna...

Figure out last note! Also, this is the exact same progression as sound of settling… Interesting.
