I Wanna Prove To You Chords by Conor Oberst

[Verse]
G                  
Salutations! 
B
To whom it may concern
Em
The litter box has overflowed
C                   D            
The frozen dinner burned
G
Oh we're running low on wine, my man
B
Could you please swing by the store
Em                         
My TV's just reality, 
C                     D
and I can't watch no more
G
There's a shining diamond somewhere
B
Where a kid is striking out
Em
His dad is in the dugout
C                     D
He's foaming at the mouth
G
A stomach's turning sour inside
B
Of a disappointed scout
Em
Yeah he thought he'd found the real deal
C                       D
But now he's got his doubts

[Chorus]
Am                      B
So it's over before it began
Em
But I could nurse you in the triage
C                           D
I could stick you with some pins
Am                                     B
But it's hopeless, these rules make no sense
Em                D          A
First they say we can't be lovers
C                              D
And now they say we can't be friends

[Solo]
G Am G Am B C D

[Verse]
G
Ruminations
B
This medicine don't work
Em
Had that same thought ten thousand times
C                    D
It's only getting worse
G
Swore off temptation
B
But what if it's what I really wanna do
Em
But how could I apologize
C                     D
For telling you the truth
G
There's a burnt out light bulb above my head
B
It's stolen my ideas
Em
There's a yearbook on the book shelf
C                        D
That can't explain the years
G
Well I never should have signed it
B
But you know summer's coming soon
Em
When I almost drowned you gave me mouth to mouth
C                       D
Beside your neighbor's pool

[Chorus]
Am                      B
It was over before it began
Em 
You could've left me in the water
C                      D
But you made me live again
Am                              B
And I'm sorry, I can't pay you back
Em                D                A
I wanna hold you 'til the world dissolves
C                         D
But we just can't get attached

[Outro]
G Am G Am B Am G# D F# G

[Verse]

C                             F C                    F C
You can come around once a year like a Christmas ghost
C                                             F         G
Or hold me down like an anchor, baby; but you can’t do both 
C                        F C                       F C
I can’t be a father figure, but I can be your friend
C                            F           G
Watch me burn my candle crazy at both ends

[Chorus]
F                G                    C
Nothing’s gonna change here anytime soon
F                     G        C   C/B    C/G     F   
Catching fish in the morning; get drunk before noon
F                    G                          C
Watching little brown bubbles floating in the spoon
F                     G               C C/B C/G  F  
Could be soaking in a warm bath, or back in the womb
Fm                C
Anytime, anytime soon

[Solo]
 
C  F C F C F G

[Verse]

C                            F C                    F C
Used to wanna be an astronaut, but I was just a kid
C                                          F       G
Spent my days in the batting cage where a robot pitched
C                             F C                        F C
Once you were my blushing bride; I was your nervous groom
C                                    F                G
Now we’re just more comfortable sleeping in separate rooms


[Chorus]
F                G                    C
Nothing’s gonna change here anytime soon
F                     G    C   C/B   C/G     F  
Make a bed for the roses, hope that they bloom
F                G                    C
I don’t know if it’s safe, but I just assume
F                     G        C  C/B C/G   F 
I won’t play in the majors or walk on the moon
Fm                   C
Not anytime, anytime soon

[Solo]

C  F C F C F G

[Verse]

C                      F C               F C
Spin me a tornado, honey, cry me a monsoon
C                                             F       G
Let’s just get through the holidays and the terrible twos
C                  F C                    F C
Christmas has passed, it’s just yellow snow
C                                             F          G
Sometimes you’ve got to hear something that you already know

[Chorus]

F                G                    C
Nothing’s gonna change here anytime soon
F                     G             C    C/B   C/G F  
When it’s all unpredictable, I can still count on you
F                   G                    C
Looking for the mailbox with the red balloons
F                     G          C  C/B C/G   F  
I’ll be late to the party, but I'll have an excuse
Fm                         C
No one likes breaking bad news, 
Fm                         C
It’s nothing I’m wanting to do
Fm                    C   C G F G C
Not anytime, anytime soon

Afterthought Chords by Conor Oberst

[Verse]
C                              F           C
I woke up this mornin' still wearin' that tie
C                            G         C
The one with the hammer and sickle design
C                           F           C
Threw up all the pills my doctor prescribed
C                  G           C   C Fmaj7 C
And went out to fetch me some air

C                                    F            C  
The streets were so crowded with billboards and signs
C                                    G        C
Food trucks double parked in their parallel lines
C                               F         C
I thought about breakfast but settled on wine
C                    G      F
Always choose hunger over despair
C                     G            C    C7  
And what's possible over what's there

[Chorus]
F                          C
But it isn't as though we get what we want
G7                      C
No matter how hard or long we have fought
        F             C
Oh my happiness is a mere afterthought
C                    G          F  
When I'm with her I keep it in mind
           Dm             F            C
Then she leaves and I've run out of time

[Harmonica]
C F C G7

[Verse]
C                      F             C
I sat down today in a high barber's chair
C                            G           C
To hear the town gossip and clean up my hair
C                            F           C 
He said she was seen on the bus station stairs
C                     G            C   C Fmaj7 C
With her suitcase threatenin' to walk 

C                                 F          C
Not sure how true it was but I'll hazard a guess
C                                 G          C
It's probably not more and it's probably not less
C                                F        C
If that college kid bookie was accepting bets
C                   G          F
The brackets would mostly be chalk
C                     G              C     C7
Yeah it's safe to assume that she's lost

[Chorus]
F                          C
But it isn't as though we get what we want
G7                      C
No matter how hard or long we have fought
        F             C
Oh my happiness is a mere afterthought
C                    G          F  
When I'm with her I keep it in mind
           Dm             F           C
Then she's gone and I've run out of time

[Harmonica]
C F C G7

[Verse]
C                               F            C
I can't be concerned with the state that I'm in
C                                  G        C
At the height of the scandal with vertigo spins
C                          F          C
Take every audition til I'm Errol Flynn
C                  G           C    C Fmaj7 C 
And bring it to life off the page

C                                F           C
And I'll get up tomorrow still wearin' that tie
C                               G            C 
The one with the skull and the crossbone designs
C                                F        C
If I'm asked if I miss her it's easy to lie
C                          G              F
In this world that's called more of the same
C                     G           C      C7
Yeah I wouldn't feel proud or ashamed

[Chorus]
  F                          C
'cause it isn't as though we get what we want
G7                      C
No matter how hard or long we have fought
        F             C
Oh my happiness is a mere afterthought
C                    G          F  
When I'm with her I keep it in mind
           Dm             F            C
Then she leaves and I've run out of time

The Rain Follows The Plow Chords by Conor Oberst

VERSE:
   G             Em
Straight away I learned to pray
     F             C
He prays upon the sky
           F               C
You go to heaven when you die 
               G               F
But keep that lake of fire in mind


VERSE:
       G                Em
Broke all the rules at Catholic school
       F             Em
Turned to a life of crime
         F              C
When I stole that motorbike
           G               F
I left a trail of tears behind


BREAK:
            G
Had casual sex
        C   F
Smoked cigarettes
              G       C
Threw caution to the wind
       Dm         
Was a winding path 
        C
That I always plan 
        G            F
To get back to you again


INSTRUMENTAL:
E  Abm    E  Abm   Dm   F


VERSE: 
  G                     Em
'Till the ground 'neath under clouds
     F                C
The rain follows the plow
            F           C
But it was never as profound 
   G                  F
As I had wanted it to be


VERSE:
     G                    Em
The birds, they sang the rites of spring
    F             C     
In summer's La-Z-Boy
   F             C
I sat down to enjoy a world 
        G               F
That's comfortable in green


BREAK:
               G          C       F
A red feather hawk and a Celtic cross
              G      C
Are pierced into my ear
   Dm              C
No matter where I went I meant 
    G                F
To make my way back here


INSTRUMENTAL:
E  Abm    E  Abm   Dm   F


VERSE:
        G                 C      F
Well I don't need God or common law 
            G           C
To tell me right from wrong
        Dm               C
'Cause when you press me to your chest
   G              F
I know where I belong


OUTRO:
C  F  C  G   Am  C  Dm  Em  F  Em  Dm  C
