Conor Oberst - Artifact#1
G:320400 or 355033
Intro: G
G Bm
What would it take to gain acceptance
G Bm
To the grounds behind your eyes
Em Bm
You know I'm open to suggestion
A D
The one you made we never tried
Bm F#m
Let it slip right out from under
D G
Your breath and it rolled around my head
Bm G
It was nothing I'd consider
A D
I knew it had to happen then
G Bm
Stood on the banks of the Potomac
G Bm
We watched the water rushing by
Em Bm
You said we should live in the moment
A D
Then I'd miss you all the time
Bm F#m
And I know no one will believe me
D G
But I don't want a second chance
Bm G
To be an object of desire
A D
If that means slipping through your hands
Bm D
If I had tried to make you mine
A D
You would have walked away
Bm A
I can't compete with memories
G D
They never have to change
D (Dmaj7) Bm (F#m) G
G Bm
This world is full of missing persons
G Bm
All of these unsolved mysteries
Em Bm
If someone says they know for certain
A D
They're selling something certainly
Bm F#m
So when I set myself to wonder
D G
All the questions that remain
Bm G
The only one that even matters
A D
Is when I'll see you're face again
Bm D
I keep looking back for artifacts
A D
To prove that you were here
Bm A
The sound that's been keeps echoing
G D
It never disappears
D (Dmaj7) Bm (F#m) G
