Couches In Alleys Tab

by Ben Gibbard


this is a version of the song that Ben played at one of his recent acoustic shows.

intro:    


Hey Jack it's me,
                                                           
I don't mean to bother you but somethings been on my mind.
                                                     
At the end of this road that climbs the horizon will be reached in a matter 
       
of miles.
                                                                  
And when the wheels cease to spin the walls and the fences will grow higher 
                            
than redwood trees.
       
And I know your demise.
                                                                
And I fear what will happen when the road fails to flow under me.
               
To flow under me

(repeat intro)    

                                                
 Oh Jack you see, I felt like your mirror with the wind whipping through my 

hair.
                                                                 
When the wheels ceased to spin and I cased my surroundings, I realized I 
                 
hadn't gone anywhere.

                                                         
When the problems I'd left with couches in alleys, where no one would ever 
    
claim.
                                                             
And the hardest part was sifting through the pieces of the rain soaked and 
                             
rotten remains when I got home.


   


Hey Jack its me 
                                                   
I dont mean to bother you but somethings been on my mind (x3)
