On Tour With Zykos Tab

by Okkervil River


Verses are like the first unless noted otherwise.

After a lot of the A chords you can do the little hook by dropping your finger 
onto the third fret (relative to capo) of the second string while in the A 
position, then sliding that finger to the fifth fret and then going back to the A 
chord. Listen to the song to get it. 

Capo 1st Fret

	            
He gets close, but I choke
                       
Take your shit, take your clothes
                 
And get out of my home
              
I want you to love me
              
Or I want you long gone
                          
You say your real name is John

Hey, thanks John
Go sings songs, go rock on
Roll your crew on down the road
To the next sold out show
Think you can get up above me?
Well, I want you to know

                         
You're a figure of fun to everyone
                                  
Beneath the lone star, neon blue broken sign
                    
They wish they were you
                     
Like I wish you were mine
       
What a dumb thing to do

 	                                            
How can I shout goodbye when god knows I just want to
                                
Make this white lie big enough to climb inside

With you

Another day, lost and gone
Clipping pages from the news for the senator's son
Well, he just strolls through the lobby
And glad hands everyone
Another day, tossed and done

I go home
Take off clothes
Smoke a bowl
Watched a whole TV movie
I was supposed to be writing
The most beautiful poems
And completely revealing
Divine mysteries up close
I can't say that I'm feeling all that much at all
At 27 years old

                                                               
I'm discussed with desire by the guys who conspire at the only decent bar in 

town
               
And they drink MGD's
                      
And they wish they had me
                  
Like I wish I had fire
                  
What a sad way to be
                     
What a girl who got tired

                                     
So, I wonder who you got your hooks in tonight
                                     
Was she happy to be hooked and on your arm?
                    
Did she feel alive? Her head all light
