Beginner's Mind  Bright Eyes

This is the correct version of Beginner?s Mind that Conor uses live.
Track 8 of The People's Key, Bright Eyes' final album.
Capo 4
[D]Hold on tight be[F#]ginners mind,
The[Bm] wheel is spinning [A]too
[Em]Fast to make your move[A]
The [F#]worst must be as[Bm]sumed
Oh [D]how they'll try to [F#]pull and pry
[Bm]Away what you know [A]now
[Em]Beat and beat it out [A]
Leave a [F#]drum that makes no sound[Bm]
A [G]snuff film on a[F#] Jumbo-tron for[Em] all the world to see[A]
A [Em]cocktail napkin [A]epitaph
Some [D]psychobabble [Bm]telegram
M[Em]essage written in the [A]sand
The[D] tide rolls in[Bm]
[Em]Swear you'll do the [A]opposite
Of [D]all those tangled [Bm]hypocrites
Who [Em]say that the ex[A]periment has [D]failed
[Bm]Don't go there
[G]You're getting nowhere
[A]You're getting nowhere
[D]Stay a while my i[F#]nner child
I'd [Bm]like to learn your [A]trick
[Em]Know what makes you tick[A]
[F#]Nurse you when you're s[Bm]ick
Oh [D]how you've grown so [F#]cynical
Hard [Bm]lines carved in your face[A]
The [Em]sunshine so cliché[A]
Just like [F#]love and [Bm]pain
You [G]tried your best on the[F#] Rorschach test but there's [Em]just nothing to see[A]
Heard[Em] terabytes of [A]perfect pitch
Some [D]universal elegance[Bm]
[Em]Stack the seventh and the [A]fifth
A[D]long the grid[Bm]
[Em]Swear you?ll be the oppo[A]site
Of [D]all the stilted [Bm]hypocrites
You [Em]know what made you [A]infamous to [D]them, [Bm]don't you?
[G]You keep starting over
[A]You keep starting over
[F#]You keep starting over
[Bm]You keep starting over
[G]Keep starting over
[A]Keep starting over
[D]Hold on tight be[F#]ginners mind
The cu[Bm]rrents far too s[A]trong
It will [Em]carry you along[A]
Till you're [F#]just like everyone[Bm]
[D]Stay a while my [F#]inner child
I'd [Bm]like to learn your[A] trick
[Em]Know what makes you tick[A]
[F#]Nurse you when you're s[Bm]ick
[G] [F#] [Em] [A]  
The other Capo 1 version of this song has the right tonality, but in the wrong
Capo position. I use Barre chords on the F#, Bm, G and the A chord for the
?getting nowhere? and ?starting over? lines to give it a fuller sound.
