My Maudlin Career Camera Obscura
Camera Obscura - My Maudlin Career
Tabbed by: Logan Smith (loganws@yahoo.com)
Intro: D - Em (x3)
You [D]kissed me on the forehead
Now these [Em]kisses give me consussion
[D]We were love at first sight
Now this [Em]crush is crushing
I [F#m]retraced your steps through the city of romance l[Em]azily
I [F#m]took to the desert with your harshest words
And they [Em]saved me
I'll [D]bail you out again; I've [Em]got the readies
I'm [D]not a child; I know we're [Em]not going steady
Your [F#m]pain's gigantic
But not as big as your [Em]ego
I [F#m]promise not to abandon you
Please let me [Em]go
Interlude:
D - Em (x2)
I [D]harbored worried feelings
Like they were [Em]worth protecting
[D]You say I'm too kind and sentimental
Like you could [Em]catch affection
In your [F#m]eyes there's a sadness enough
To kill the both of[Em] us
Are those [F#m]eyes overrated?
They make me want to give up on [Em]love
I'll b[D]race myself for the loneliness
Say hello to[Em] feeling that I detest
This [D]maudlin carrer must come to an end
I don't [Em]want to be sad again
This m[D]audlin career must come to an end
I don't [Em]want to be sad again
This m[D]audlin career must come to an end
I don't [Em]want to be sad again
Interlude:
F#m - Em (x2)
This m[D]audlin career must come to an end
I don't [Em]want to be sad again
This m[D]audlin career must come to an end
I don't [Em]want to be sad again

F#m - Em (x2)
