Traveler Chords by Hippo Campus

Traveler Chords by Hippo Campus

[Refrain: Turntan]
G
Lost to these linens

My tasteless affections
    C
Are buried in the past
G
Feelings so fleeting

Yet never completing
    C
The thoughts I quelled to last

   G
It saw too
             C
I saw to it, Anna
  G
I saw too
             C
I saw to it, Anna


[Turntan & Stitches]
Em  Bm   C
       I caught a line, I caught a line
Em  Bm   C
         Clinging to my own devices


[Turntan]
Gmaj7
Craving sleep when the evening comes

Strip me down to a heart and lungs
  Am
I always sang about ya
Gmaj7
Terrified of how waking life walks

Frightened frame with a shirt that talks
  Am
I tripped over the moon about ya
G
Steadfast in nature

The scenes on my pages
     C
Were all mirages now
G
Everything's vexing

I'm more unconvincing
     C
Than both my parents now

G   D   Em  G        C
Oh, oh, oh, I waited up for you
G   D   Em      G             C
Oh, oh, oh, you said that you wanted me too
G   D   Em  G        C
Oh, oh, oh, I waited up for you
G   D   Em  G          Cmaj7
Oh, oh, oh, twenty-one years for you

Twenty-one years for you


[Verse: Turntan]
  G
I woke with a headache
   Bm
My bones and my body
           G7                          C
Screamed, "Son, where the hell is your head?"
  Cm
I reached for some water
   D
To quench the fire
       C                G
That's burning up in my bed
G
Haze like a fever
  Bm
I fell like a dreamer
    G7                 C
For sweet tea and lemonade
   Cm
It clings to my T-shirt
     D
It's loud and it lingers
C                     G
Designed to suffocate


[Verse: Turntan]
  G
I light up to find
          Bm
What I've known all this time
       G7                C
There's some beauty here yet
    Cm
The folks in town
         D
Have the kindest eyes
           C                     G
But you'll drown in the ways you set
     G
I'll flee like that fever
Bm
Lost to that dreamer
    G7                     C
All pale-faced for leaving be
    Cm
Our time is a-coming
    D
But my heart is humming
      C                   G
For a girl that I can't see

         G        Bm
You're a traveler
     G7             C
Your heart is heavy now
         Cm        D
You're a traveler
C                            G
Fresh out of your mother's house
         G        Bm
You're a traveler
     G7             C
Your heart is heavy now
         Cm        D
You're a traveler
C                            G    Cm   G   Cm   G
Fresh out of your mother's house
