Adventures In Solitude Tab

by New Pornographers



I put brackets around chords where the song stays on
the same chord through two measures, but doesn’t emphasize it the
but the end still seems a little off.

      

[]                               
       Balancing on one wounded wing
                                
Circling the edge of the never ending
                                                                []
The best of the vanished marvels have gathered inside your door
                                 
More than begin, but less than forget
                                     
But spirit born from the not happened yet
                                                            []
Gathering there to pay off a debt brought back from the wars
                                                
We thought we lost you     We thought we lost you
                                           []
We thought we lost you       Welcome back

   []
                                       
Sleeping for years pick through what is left
                                                
Through the pieces that fell and rose from the depth
                                                       []
From the rain water well deep as a secret nobody knows
                                
Less than forget but more than begun
                                  
These adventures in solitude never done
                                                                 []
To the names of our wounds we send the same blood back from the wars
                                                
We thought we lost you     We thought we lost you
                                                 []
We thought we lost you       It will all come back

       []

                                 
I know you want to run far away from one more,
                             
    and that it’s coming at a bad time
                                     
some cold place, some countless ways
                   
  For all we know

                                          
I know you need to breathe through come back, come to
                      
  but it’s coming at a bad time
	                               
Some how a watch from the tangle of days
                  
  For all we know

       []

                                 
I know you want to run far away from one more,
                             
    and that it’s coming at a bad time
                                    
some cold race, some countless ways
                   
  For all we know

                                          
I know you want to breathe through come back, come to
                      
  but it’s coming at a bad time
	                            
old scarred face from survivor's guilt
                  
  For all we know



Extra notes:

If you play the piano, I think the verses use C 2nd inversion, 
D 2nd inversion, and G 1st inversion.  Start with middle C in the 
middle and it should fall into place.

Someone’s quietly plucking a guitar in the intro and
first verse (that I can hear), and here’s what s/he’s playing.

                                  (or [] second time)
