Calais To Dover by Bright Eyes - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Bright Eyes Song List
Version 1
            [Verse 1]
G        D             C         Em
Under a microscope of apoplectic vision
G                  D             C
My face on a slide show I looked totally unhinged
C         D              G       B7          C
Forgot the Latin word, the name for this condition
Am                       D       D7
Said I felt sick to get attention

G           D             C                 Em
Now this winter got an excuse to not go home
G         D                 C
Rented a house out on the coast
                      D             G     B7      C
Flying away I heard a memory, your voice over the engine
Am                             D
So full of remorse and apprehension

[Chorus]
D                G
Now that you’re gone
             D
Now that I’m out here on my own
              Em
It won’t be long
                     C               D
‘Til I have to pay for what I’ve done
            G
Tell me to stop
            D
Tell me to watch the way I talk
                     C
Because nothing is changing
               Am             D
Don’t want to state the obvious

[Verse 2]
G                D               C             Em
Threw up on the ferry ride from Calais back to Dover
G               D                        C
As pale as the white cliffs that we faced
                     D               G       B7      C   Am
Wasn’t afraid, eventualities, just knew that it was over
                                     D
No brushes with death could keep us sober

G             D                 C            Em
If I was in London I’d hold you to everything
G               D                C
If we were in Cardiff I’d just sing
                 D          G       B7     C       Am
But I’m stuck in Omaha obsessed with my inventions
                               D
There isn’t a name for this condition

[Chorus]
D             G
Tell me I’m wrong
             Cm            D
Tell me you understand my love
               Em
Tell me what’s off
               C                 D
What would you like to turn back on?
                G
Tell me what’s gone
          Cm                D
Make me a list of what you lost
                     C
Because everything’s changing
               Am          D
Don’t want to state the obvious

[Solo]
G  D Em    C     D
G  D Em    C     D

[Chorus]
D                G
Tell me what’s wrong
              Cm                D
Tell me I’ll pay for what I’ve done
              Em
Tell me what’s up
                 C          D
Pain like a big red rubber ball
                 G
I wish it would stop
                Cm              D
I wish I could tell you it was gone
                 C
But nothing is changing
             Am          D
Sorry to state the obvious
                 G
Now that you’re gone
             Cm            D
Tell me you understand my love
                Em
Tell me what’s wrong
           C                D
Make me a list of what you lost
                   G
That’s all that I want
          Cm            D
I’ll pay for what I’ve done
             C
Nothing is changing
     Am            D
To state the obvious

[Outro]
