Synesthete Song Tab

by Conor Oberst And The Mystic Valley Band


One of Conor's apocalyptic numbers... gotta be careful with that acid.


Intro: variations on Em, play around with dissonance, make it foreboding: 
, , /, etc...  

          
Harbor Ann, take me as I am
                 
A flame reduced to ash
                   
Laugh as my years taken from me
            
Winter's day, am I in your way?
                   
You press against my skin
                             
All the flowery speeches ended fast
         
Clinking glass
    
The champagne made my head feel light 
               
And overcast the stars 


[repeat chords for other verses]


Paper crane, tell me it's OK
Opera glasses view
Kaleidoscope of now and never
Gaia's love, schizophrenia
The devil's in my coat
Mothership coming to pick me up
Just my luck
They got my house surrounded
I'm the only one I trust

                 
The dark light of man
                 
The dark light of man
                 
The dark light of man
                
The dark let him in


Synesthete, can I confide in thee? 
The color is the sound
The screams were orange
My footsteps silver
Secret plan, man, I'll tell you if I can
The evils of this world are at your doorstep
Let me enter, friend, understand
We have come to the convergence
Now all the paths combine
