Chords:
Atoms by Emmy the Great Capo on the 3rd Fret with all chords relative to the capo. D I know youre going soon A Its ok, I wont freak D F# Can see it in your eyes, youve been moving out for weeks Em A Youve found a girl, shes so much prettier than me Em Shes much cleverer than me A Shes so much happier than me D A You want a lover who takes time over her looks D F# Not some stupid kid whos always wrapped up in her books Em A But can I help it if a sentence makes me cry? Em And the pavement makes me cry A And the thought of you and I D Oh, just leave A Theres nothing much I want to say D But close the door F# Em You know how the atmosphere decays my bones A I feel the atoms on my skin Em A Oh, I feel the matter closing in D A From my perch I see the universe as one D F# See the planets in their glory, slowly dancing with the sun Em A See my ancestors in monkey costumes fucking on the rocks Em A See the priestess and her brother and the farmer and his crops D A All these sacred histories have led to this one day D F# When you face me on the stairs and say you have to go away Em A And time stops like ice where all around it once was hot Em A So dont begrudge a girl her books cos theyre all a girl has got D They sit there now A The words unflinching in their strength D You see I only ever read F# Cos I wish I was brave as them D A And I know these words will never leave me standing on the stairs D F# Just like my frozen ancestors they always will be there Em A In print, just like your image on my heart Em A For ever like the planets light the dark Em A Just like our world is waltzing with the sun Em A Just like when this world explodes it makes another one D Oh you, just leave A I always wanted you to be free D F# But next time you see the planets try and think of me Em A And this moment on a stairway where I thought that I could see Em A All the atoms in your lover, shes much prettier than me Em A And can I help it if an atom makes me cry? Em A I cant help it if shes happier than I Chords:De ---|---|-x-|---|---|B ---|-x-|---|---|---|G ---|---|-x-|---|---|D ---|---|---|---|---|A ---|---|---|---|---|E ---|---|---|---|---|Ae ---|---|---|---|---|B ---|-x-|---|---|---|G ---|-x-|---|---|---|D ---|-x-|---|---|---|A ---|---|---|---|---|E ---|---|---|---|---|F#e ---|-x-|---|---|---|B ---|-x-|---|---|---|G ---|-x-|---|---|---|D ---|---|-x-|---|---|A ---|---|-x-|---|---|E ---|-x-|---|---|---|Eme ---|---|---|---|---|B ---|---|---|---|---|G ---|---|---|---|---|D ---|-x-|---|---|---|A ---|-x-|---|---|---|E ---|---|---|---|---|
