Biography:
Silver Jews was an American indie rock band from New York City. The band's earliest incarnation was the college band Ectoslavia, formed by future Pavement founders Bob Nastanovich, Stephen Malkmus and frontman David Berman at the University of Virginia in 1989. An exercise in joyous noise, the band disbanded after graduation and the three friends moved to New York to take up various jobs - Nastanovich, a bus driver, and Berman and Malkmus, art museum security guards.

BLUE ARRANGEMENTS
UNUSUAL CHORDS:
Ebm*: x6780x
B*: x24445
Bmaj7:x2434x
B Bmaj7 B7
I see you gracefully swimming with the country club women
E C#m B
in the Greenwood southside society pool.
A E
I love your amethyst eyes and your protestant thighs
B F#
you're a shimmering socialite jewel.
B Bmaj7 B7
From the Carbon Dioxide Riding Academy
E B C#m B
to the children's crusade marching through the downtown.
A E
Well I think I'd die see, if you just said hi to me.
B F#
When something breaks it makes a beautiful sound.
E
Sometimes I feel like I'm watching the world
and the world isn't watching me back.
But when I see you, I know I'm in it too.
B
The waves come in and the waves go back.
E
The kids in the corner all covered in dirt.
Caught trespassing under the moon.
My father came in from wherever he'd been
B
and kicked my shit all over the room.
A
All over the room
E
All over the room.
[Instrumental]
B Ebm* A Am E
E Ebm*
The room is dark and heavy with what I want to say.
A E
I see murals in the radio static and on your blue blue jeans.
B* Ebm*
What would you say if I asked you to run away?
A E
It's been done so many times I hardly know what it means.
E Ebm*
I took these blue arrangements and threw them in the sea
A E
when older waves from older caves brought them back to me.
B* Ebm*
I took these blue arrangements and stored them on a shelf.
A
With change on the mantle and time in a candle,
E
in the end a boy raises himself.
