My Sad Captains Chords & Lyrics - Elbow

Tuning: Standard

Intro: G (for a few bars) then G (2 bars), Em, C, (1 bar each) then back to G. I think it's in simple 4/4 if that helps anyone.

[G]I'm running out of miracles
[Em] Oh [C]my soul [G]
[G]And the streets are lined with one-man shows
[Em] Oh m[C]y soul [G]
[G]Corner boys were moved along
[Em] Oh m[C]y soul [G]
[G]We're plummeting like crippled crows
[Em] Oh m[C]y soul [G]

[G] Oh, long be[Em]fore
[C]You and I were [G]born
[G]Others beat these benches with their [Em]empty cups
To the n[C]ight and its stars
To be he[G]re, and now, and who we are

[C]Another sunrise with my s[G]ad captains
[C]With who I choose to lose my [G]mind
[C]And if it's so we only pass this w[G]ay but once
What a pe[C]rfect waste of ti[G]me

[G]The BMX apothecary
[Em] Oh [C]my soul [G]
[G]The architect of infamy
[Em] Oh m[C]y soul [G]
[G]For each and every train we missed
[Em] Oh my[C] soul [G]
[G]A bitter little Eucharist
[Em] oh m[C]y soul [G]

[G] Oh, long be[Em]fore
[C]You and I were [G]born
[G]Others beat these benches with their [Em]empty cups
To the n[C]ight and its stars
To be he[G]re, and now, and who we are

[C]Another sunrise with my s[G]ad captains
[C]With who I choose to lose my [G]mind
[C]And if it's so we only pass this w[G]ay but once
What a pe[C]rfect waste of ti[G]me

[C]Another sunrise with my s[G]ad captains
[C]With who I choose to lose my [G]mind
[C]And if it's so we only pass this w[G]ay but once
What a pe[C]rfect waste of ti[G]me
