Headlines Chords

Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
C     C/B   Am G  F
 
[Verse 1]
C       C/B                Am    G  F
Woke up sweating over the state of affairs
C                  C/B
From my mountain isolation
F   Em          Dm Dm7 Dm
Up 3 flights of stairs
F                   C
And I wish it were morning
F                    C
And I wish this was over
 F                               C      C/B      F
This type of thing used to throw me but now I’m older
 
C               C/B            Am    G       F
So I just stay naked, make a coffee and some toast
C                              C/B
Scroll through the news of the hour
F          Em        Dm
Try not to hold it too close
F                              C
Eventually, get myself out the door
F                               C
Eventually, breathe in the cool air
F                          C            C/B     F
Process the fact that I’m here and that you are there
 
[Chorus]
F        C                   G
Skimming headlines, walking slowly
           F
Circling around
F        C                   G
Flashing headlights, beaming lowly
           F
Circling around
F        C                  G
Skimming headlines, walking slowly
         F
Circling around
F                             G
Flashing headlights, beaming lowly
F              F
Circling around
 
[Verse 2]
C          C/B  Am    G       F
So what if I..  don’t kiss thе ring?
C                        C/B
Will I be kicked to the curb?
F          Em             Dm
Will I not bеlieve in anything?
F                            C
We’re not supposed to go outside
 F                        C
And the stores are all closed
C                       C/B              F
Never seen the city so dead and so morose
 
C         C/B
It’s a crisis
       Am      G       F
But we haven’t got the words
C                       C/B
Or the gall to describe it
F    Em          Dm
When everybody’s heard
F              C
Different information
F                           C
And it’s slipping through a sieve
F                           C              C/B          F
But the cats are all still yowling in the city where I live
 
[Chorus]
F        C                   G
Skimming headlines, walking slowly
         F
Circling around
F        C                   G
Flashing headlights, beaming lowly
         F
Circling around
F        C                   G
Skimming headlines, walking slowly
         F
Circling around
F        C                   G
Flashing headlights, beaming lowly
          F
Circling around
G         F
Circling around
 
[Outro]
G         C
