Bright Eyes – Southern State chords

Capo 3
I play this on classical guitar.  When playing A's and D's throw in occasional 
hammers on the 2nd and 3rd fret.


         D          Well the songs you sung spiraled
    F#mAnd hung 'round like echoes 
  Em                 AOr ripples on a pond

       DSo you circled the globe
        F#mSpent a year on the road
      Em           AWithout ever going home

            DMore than a couple of days, 
           F#mThen you’d leave right away
        Em               ARun to a girl you barely know

        DBut you like how she sings
        F#mAnd you can’t help but think
            Em                  A That there’s something that she knows and could teach you

Em                              A  While you’re sleeping in that southern state
Em                               A  Where the bars are filled with people you can’t hate
    EmBut try as you try
    AYou still can’t relate to them 
        Em                     AAnd you drink that whiskey down
              
As they ask you, 

 Bm               G       D           “Are you who you say you are?”
 Bm               G               DAre you who you say that you are?
 Bm               G                DAre you who you say that you are, you…
 D               D              Are you who you say that you are?
 Bm               G      D    Em GAre you who you say you are?
              AThe fact that you can’t tell makes us like you even more

D F#m Em A
              D So now you’re trying again
        F#mOr just visiting friends
      Em                   AOne had just had his heart broke

              D For the first time in his life
       F#mHe realized there are times
        Em              AWhen you can’t make it alone

               D  But now you’re giving advice
      F#m  As if you had the right
   Em               A  To use a word like “love”

         DIt’s a negotiable term
          F#mWhat gets said’s not what’s heard
        Em                 A     So it’s different then for everyone

                Em                  ABut you're still hanging ‘round that college town
        Em                          AWith your…your new life your new lover you’ve found 
           Em                      AAnd you’re keeping her up at night, bringing her down
                 Em                  AShe’ll watch you drink yourself to death
    
But won’t ask you, 

  Bm       G               D“is this really what you want?”
 Bm       G              DIs this really what you want?
 Bm          G                   DIs this really what you is this what...
  Bm           G           Is this really what you want?
Bm        G               D    Em GIs this really what you want?
             A                                                D, F#mAre you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got?
             Em                           A                   D, F#mAre you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got?
                               EmYeah that’s it, I think you’re sticking with me now 
        ABecause I’m all you’ve got

D, F#m, Em, A
