Mission Bells by Matt Nathanson
Standard Tuning
Capo on 4
I palm mute the verses and fully strum the chorus, with single strums during the
bridge. Whatever works, I guess.

Intro: (Em, G6, Cmaj7) x2
Em G6 Cmaj7
I had a dream you died,
Em G6 Cmaj7
and I just want to be with you tonight
Em
Mission bells were ringing
G6 Cmaj7
somewhere higher,
Em G6 Cmaj7
I let you get away
Em G6 Cmaj7
I let you get away
Em G6
What kind of man misunderstands
Cmaj7
a woman like you,
Em G6 Cmaj7
sees her in black and white?
Em G6 Cmaj7
It's 5 AM and phone book says that you're not alone
Em G6 Cmaj7
in the cold gray morning light
Em G6 Cmaj7
The only one that's left to trust,
Em G6 Cmaj7
my faithless heart that wasted us.
G Cadd9 Em7
I had a dream you died,
G Cadd9 Em7
and I just want to be with you tonight
G
Mission bells were ringing
Cadd9 Em7
somewhere higher,
G Cadd9 Em7
I let you get away
G Cadd9 Em7
I let you get away
Em G6
What kind of fool thinks love's a prison
Cmaj7
or a handicap,
Em G6 Cmaj7
only says goodbye?
Em G6 Cmaj7
Sinking fast in the rocky waters off Alcatraz,
Em G6 Cmaj7
his friends say suicide
Em G6 Cmaj7
The only one that's left to trust,
Em G6 Cmaj7
my faithless heart that wasted us.

G Cadd9 Em7
I let you get away
Em G6
I'm the end of a Hitchcock movie
Cmaj7
a little dark and a lot confusing
Em G6
I'm the last of the worst pretenders
Cmaj7
so lost, so lost in love
Em G6
I'm the end of a Hitchcock movie
Cmaj7
a little dark and a lot confusing
Em G6
I'm the last of the worst pretenders
Cmaj7
so lost, so lost in love
