My Favourite Chords Lyrics - The Weakerthans

They're tearing up streets again they're building a new hotel 

The mayor's out killing kids to keep taxes down 

And me and my anger sit folding a paper bird 

Letting the curtains turn to beating wings 

Wish I had a socket-set to dismantle this morning 

Just one pair of clean socks and a photo of you 

When you get off work tonight meet me at the construction site 

And we'll write some notes to tape to the heavy machines 

Like we hope they treat you well, hope you don't work too hard 

We hope you get to be happy sometimes 

And bring your swiss-army knife and a bottle of something 

And I'll bring some spray paint and a new deck of cards 

Hey, I found the safest place to keep all our tenderness 

Keep all those bad ideas, keep all our hope 

It's here in the smallest bones, the feet and the inner ear 

It's such an enormous thing to walk, to listen 

And I'd like to fall asleep to the beat of you breathing 

In a room near a truck stop, on a highway somewhere 

You are a radio, you are an open door 

I am a faulty string of blue Christmas lights 

You swim through frequencies 

You let that stranger in, as I'm blinking off and on and off again 

We've got a lot of time 

Or maybe we don't but I'd like to think so, so let me pretend 

These are my favorite chords I know you like them too 

When I get a new guitar, you could have this one 

And sing me a lullaby, sing me the alphabet 

Sing me a story I haven't heard yet
