Capo 5
[Verse 1]
Em
David used to be creative
G
Seeing screens in all our faces
C
Talking like a kid Scorcese
D
Making films of kids and pavement
Em
Summer’d always come around
G
We’d talk about our dreams
C
We’d talk about the way that running
D
Gives a respite from depression
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
But I’m not sayin’ I’m the man
C
To write you a letter
D
Anonymous Tonight
Em G C
Turnin’ tables to shield you from our guns
D
Get ready
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
Some things flutter out of focus
Em7 D
David’s changing frame by frame
G Cadd9
Hoping Eloise will notice
Em7 D
But the film’s dissolving into grain
[Verse 2]
Em
David used to be creative
G
Now he’s trading pills and papers
C
Hanging out at burn out stables
D
Coming down half Cain, half Abel
Em
Eloise, she broke his heart
G
She moved to Tennessee
C
She moved to somewhere where the climate
D
Won’t give way to more regression
[Pre-Chorus]
Em G
But I’m not sayin’ I’m the man
C
To write you a letter
D
Anonymous Tonight
Em C G
Turnin’ tables to shield you from our guns
D
Get ready
[Chorus]
G Cadd9
Some things flutter out of focus
Em7 D
David’s changing frame by frame
G Cadd9
Hoping Eloise will notice
Em7 D
But the film’s dissolving into grain
[Breakdown]
Em G
Now I’m lying in the backyard
C D
With my feet in the air
Em G
And I’m thinking about David
C D
But I just can’t seem to care
Em G
Now David he’s been dying
C D
He’s been drinking alone
Em G
Well I’m not quite the friend
C D
You thought I was all along
[Outro]
Em G C D
