LOS FLAMINGOS

demo version - WORKS IN PROGRESS 2
album version - THROWING MUSES (2003)
_____________________________________________________

one of the best songs on WIP2 and WIP3. the chords are
easy to play - especially the *-chords - but there are
some weird rhythm changes during 'i'm still waiting / i'm
still here...'.

C*      B*                   C*     B*
kissing through the weekend, we can prove we're perfect
A*   G*              F#*    E
on a matress made of wasted time
         G             F#m E
a safe hotel room is a catacomb
       G                 F#m
nobody cheats you in the dark
G       Bb                 G
lost flamingoes lost their bark
C*    B*             C*         B*
i can see myself and i'm eating out of your hands
A*   G*             F#*  E
on a carpet made of everything
         G             F#m E
a safe hotel room is a catacomb
       G               F#m
nobody wants you after dark
G       Bb                 G
lost flamingoes lost their bark
C         G~       A         G~
i'm still waiting, i'm still here
C       G~                 A
is that how come you're so mad
C      G~            A
i want all you never had
C  G~  A (x4)

C*   B*             C*       B*
your nose is broken but your mouth is working
A*        G*             F#*      E
there's a rainbow on the bathroom wall
         G             F#m E
a safe hotel room is a catacomb
       G            F#m
nobody loses in the dark
G       Bb                 G
lost flamingoes lost their bark
C         G~       A         G~
i'm still waiting, i'm still here
C       G~                 A
is that how come you're so mad
C      G~            A
i want all you never had
C  G~  A
