Basic Chords Bright Eyes - Mariana Trench
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?
