O The Postal Service teve início em 2001, quando Ben Gibbard (vocalista do Death Cab For Cutie) e Jimmy Tamborello (do Dntel) decidiram formar um projeto paralelo juntos. Como Gibbard morava em Seattle e Tamborello em Los Angeles, a parceria era feita à distância. Tamborello compunha e gravava as batidas eletrônicas. Gibbard recebia os CD's pelo correio e escrevia as melodias, enviando as novas gravações de volta para Tamborello. Quando chegavam a um consenso, Ben escrevia as letras das músicas.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The District Sleeps Alone Tonight - The Postal Service ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: cybergeek_G Email: [email protected]
Tuning: EADGBE
Note: Due to the nature of the vocal rhythm (which is highly syncopated), this TAB is organized in a manner that is easier to read. Each vocal line is divided to correspond to each line of music. I advise that you listen to the song for the rhythm of the vocals.
[Intro]
C - Dm - Am - Am (x2)
[Verse]
C - Dm - Am - Am (x4)
Smeared black ink... your palms are sweaty And i'm barely listening to last demands I'm staring at the asphalt wondering what's buried underneath
[Interlude]
F - C - G - G (x4)
Where I am... [A line without vocals] Where I am... [A line without vocals]
[Verse]
C - Dm - Am - Am (x6)
I'll wear my badge... a vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest That tells your new friends i am a visitor here... I am not permanent And the only thing keeping me dry is
[Chorus]
(Where I am)[Repeats throughout chorus]
F - C - G - G (x4)
You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex A stranger with your door key explaining that i am just visiting And i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving
[Bridge]
C - C - Dm - Dm
[No vocals]
G - G - Am - Am
D.C. sleeps alone tonight
C - Dm - Am - Am (x8)
[No vocals for 8 lines]
[Chorus]
(Where I am)[Repeats throughout chorus]
F - C - G - G (x10)
You seem so so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex A stranger with your door key explaining that i am just visiting And i am finally seing why i was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving
The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights And send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening And i am finally seeing why i was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving
Why I was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving
