capo: 4th fret

"mariana trench" the new song by bright eyes off ‘Down in the weeds, where the world once was’ out august 21 on dead oceans

[verse]

            C                 G
Well they’d better save some space for me
        Em              F
In that growing cottage industry
      G      E       Am
Where selfishness is currency
       F
People spend more than they make

     C                  G
So i wrapped my head in bandages
         Em              F
From the string of happy accidents
  G        E    Am
I guess maybe i asked for it
    F
But who am i to say

[pre chorus]

    Em
The closing bell death tolls
         Am            G
Hear the market crash---
         F                   G
A crying trader swears he’ll get out
       C
Of the game
            Em
The cowboy drinks himself to death fresh
       Am     G
Out of rehab---
              F
While they’re loading
                      G
All the rifles on the range

[chorus]

                C
Look up at that everest
                  F
Look down in that mariana trench
                Am
Look now as the crumbling 405 falls down
            G
Oh when the big one hits

                 C
Look out for the plainclothes
                      F
Look out for what the wiretap knows
                Am
Look out on the ever-widening money trail
             G      ( C )
And where it goes

[verse]

           C              G
It takes a lot of gall to try to please
      Em           F
These dehumanizing entities
     G        E     Am
I befriended all my enemies
            F
They had my back against the wall

     C                G
Oh a coward is what a coward does
     Em           F
I suppose maybe i always was
        G       E        Am
But i’m sick of it, i’ve had enough
            F
And now i’m ready for the war

[pre chorus]

    Em
The lion bows his head down
       Am          G
To the ringmaster---
         F                      G
With the tightrope stretched so high
          C
Above the crowd
          Em
All these faces are contortionists
   Am
It must have hurt
           F
Cause they all looked as unhappy
      G
As a clown

[chorus]

                  C
Look long at that stonehenge
                 F
Look quick is it something you missed
               Am
Look into that smoldering building’s bombed out fog
         G
Until it finally lifts

                C
Look up at that big wave
                  F
Look down at your other brother’s grave
                Am
Look hard for a harder something to sacrifice
               G
That’s what it takes
That’s what it takes

[bridge]

G
   that’s what it takes, hmm
G
   that’s what it takes, ha
G
   that’s what it takes, ha
G
   ha, ha, ha

[chorus]

                C
Look up at that everest
                  F
Look down in that mariana trench
                Am
Look now as the crumbling 405 falls down
            G
Oh when the big one hits

                 C
Look out for the plainclothes
                    F
Speak soft what the wiretap knows
                Am
Look out on the ever-widening money trail
             G
And where it goes
                   ( C )
Where does it go?
