Give Up

The Postal Service is an indie electropop band based in Seattle, Washington, United States, which started life as a side project for singer Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie and producer Jimmy Tamborello of Dntel, Headset and Figurine. The group formed, in 2001, after Gibbard contributed vocals for a song on Dntel's album Life Is Full of Possibilities called (This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan.  

# INTRO: Alternate between D & G, use mostly D (When the single ding is hit in the song you can pick the second string then strike the chord)

              D                    G               D
I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water, 
                 G             D
And pictures of you and i'm not coming out
        G             D      G
Until this is all over
          D                 G                 D
And i'm looking through the glass where the light bends
          G
At the cracks
           D                          G       D
And i'm screaming at the top of my lungs pretending 
               G       Em
The echoes belong to someone
  Em              D
Someone i used to know
        Em                                     D
And we become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
 D D  D  G
Ba ba ba ba...

           D                    G
I wanted to walk through the empty streets
                 D                   G
And feel something constant under my feet,
             D               G
But all the news reports recommended that
             D       G
I stay indoors
            D                     G
Because the air outside will make our cells
 D                     G              D
Divide at an alarming rate until our shells
                G             D        G            
Simply cannot hold all our insides in,
                       Em                    
And that's when we'll explode
                         D
(and it won't be a pretty sight)
Em                                              D
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
 D D  D  G
Ba ba ba ba...
     D                   D              Em           D
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
 D D  D  G
Ba ba ba ba...
 D                      D                Em          D
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
 D D  D  G
Ba ba ba ba...
D                      D                 Em          D
And we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finally go
D D  D  G
Ba ba ba ba...

D  G during solo...

 D          G
And we'll become

And we'll become

We drained every night

And you failed to catch the train back to Queens
         C          Em         
So you came to my room
               C                        Em                                        
We did some things that we knew not to do

In the glow of the nights golden hue 


Chorus

              F                G
You've got a tattered line of string
             Am             C
That you've tied 'round everything
           F                G
That you want to call your own

Verse II

         C       Em
When we woke we agreed
        C               Em
That we would not ever speak
          C        Em                 C       Em
Of this night to anyone that we both knew
                C             Em
And you said, "Every time we kiss
        C                       Em               
I felt something that could not exist"
         C                Em                   C       Em
And I confessed that I thought that I felt it too


Chorus

You've got a tattered line of string

That you've tied 'round everything
                F                        Em
That you want to call your own

Sleepin In

VERSE

Bm
I was waiting for a cross-town train in the
E                                 Bm
london underground when it struck me
Bm 
that I've been waiting since birth to find a
E                                      Bm
love that would look and sound like a movie
Bm
so I changed my plans I rented a camera and
E                       Bm
a van and then I called you
Bm                      E
"I need you to pretend that we are in love
E                      Bm
again." and you agreed too



CHORUS
D                           Bm
I want so badly to believe that "there is truth,
Bm             E
that love is real"
D                         Bm
and I want life in every word to the extent
Bm             E
that it's absurd


Inst: Bm E (repeated)


Same thing for the rest of the song.

Clark Gable

VERSE:

F# C# D# A# B F# C#

F#                C#
I saw you standing there
D#                  A#
The wind blowing your hair
B                     F#                C#
It's fate my life has brought me here to you

You walked over my way
I didn't know what to say.
I think that I love you.
But maybe it's just the fumes

CHORUS:
F#             C#
Angel pumping gas
D#                    A#
Why won't this moment last?
G#           A#       B               C#
It's fate my life has brought me here today
Soon I'll be on my way
though I'd really like to stay
But the road is out there calling me away.
But I really need you here with me today.

Angel Pumping Gas

Intro
G D Em C Am x2

G
I'll be the grapes fermented
D                 Em
Bottled and served with the table set
C                                       G                              
In my finest suit, like a perfect gentleman

G
I'll be the fire escape
D                Em
That's bolted to the ancient brick
 C                                     G                                    
Where you will sit and contemplate your day

G D Em C Am

G
I'll be the waterwings
D                         Em
That save you if you start drowning
C                                          G
In an open tab when your judgement's on the brink

G
I'll be the phonograph
D                       Em
That plays your favorite albums back
C                                      G
As you're lying there, drifting off to sleep

Am x2

G
I'll be the platform shoes
D                       Em
And undo what heredity's done to you
C                                       G
You won't have to strain to look into my eyes

G
I'll be your winter coat
D                   Em  
Buttoned and zipped straight to the throat
C                                      Em 
With the collar up so you won't catch cold

Em                C
I want to take you far
                       G 
From the cynics in this town
                   Em 
And kiss you on the mouth
                    C
We'll cut our bodies free
                        G
From the tethers of this scene
                 Em
Start a brand new colony
                     C
Where everything will change
                        G
We'll give ourselves new names
           Em
Identities erased
                     C
The sun will heat the ground
              G
Under our bare feet
                  D
In this brand new colony
              Em         C     G    D
This Brand New Colony

               G                            A    (A7)
In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry

Song:

Intro 2x
Start strumming C

C            F
I take a breath
C                                G
And hold the air until there's nothing left
C              F
I'm feeling green
C                       G
Like teenage lovers between the sheets


Intro 2x (While singing - Strum C in between both times)
Ba Ba Ba Ba  Ba Ba Ba Ba   Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba


C                       F
Knuckles clenched to white
C                        G
As the landing gear retract for flight
C               F
My heads a balloon
C                   G
Inflating with the altitude


Intro 2x (While singing - Strum C in between both times)
Ba Ba Ba Ba  Ba Ba Ba Ba   Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba Ba


C                      F
I watch the patchwork farm's
F                            C
Slow fade into the ocean's arms
C                                     F
And from here they can't see me stare
F                             C
The stale taste of recycled air
C        G                 Em
I watch the patchwork farm's
Em         F                  C
Slow fade into the ocean's arms
C          G               Em
Calm down release your cares
Em               F             C
The stale taste of recycled air


Intro 1x

Recycled Air 

[[Whole Song]]

C Am F G

Last week I had the strangest dream where
Everything was exactly how it seemed 
Where there was never any mystery of who shot John F. Kennedy 
It was just a man with something to prove 
Slightly bored and severly confused 
He steadied his rifle with his target in the center 
And became famous on that day in november 

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in 

Again last night I had that strange dream 
Where everything was exactly how it seemed 
No concerns about the world getting warmer 
People thought that they were just being rewarded 
For treating others as they'd like to be treated 
For obeying stop signs and curing diseases 
For mailing letters with the address of the sender 
Now we can swim any day in november 

Don't wake me I plan on sleeping in

Sleeping In

F                    Am
I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles in our 
Gm                         Bb                   C           F
eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they're perfectly aligned
                    Am
And I have to speculate that God himself did 
Gm                         Bb                 Bb7M             F
make us into corresponding shapes like puzzle pieces from the clay
                             Am
True, it might seem like a stretch but it's thoughts like this that 
Gm                                  Bb           C               F
catch my troubled head when you're away and I am missing you to death
                              Am
When you are out there on the road for several weeks of 
Gm                              Bb            Bb7M
shows and when you scan the radio I hope this song will guide you home

CHORUS
F                            C
They will see us waving from such great heights
     Bb                Bb7M
Come down now, they'll say
    F                             C
But everything looks perfect from far away
     Bb                  Bb7M
Come down now, but we'll stay

F                     Am
I've tried my best to leave this all on your 
    Gm                             Bb           C
machine but the persistent beat it sounded thin upon listening
    F                     Am
And that frankly will not fly, You'll hear the shrillest
Gm                                         Bb
highs and the lowest lows with the windows down
             Bb7M
When this is guiding you home

CHORUS

SOLO - 0h1h0 = pluck string, hammer and release on 1st fret

[Verse 1]
             F 
Baby really hurt me
                Am 
crying in the taxi
                Dm
He dont wanna know me
                         Am                     A#     Dm
says you make the big mistake of dancing in my store 
Gm                  C
   Says it was poison
                 F
So I guess I go home 
          Am                     Dm
into the arms of the girl that I love
                Am 
the only love I havent screwed up
A#                  Dm
   She's so hard to please
             Gm      C  
but shes a forest fire
        F               
I do my best to meet her demands
Am
play it romance
         Dm
we slow dance in the living room
    Am                      A#
but all that a stranger would see
        Dm           Gm               C     
is one girl swaying alone stroking her cheek

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Verse 2]
            F 
The truth is, I am toy
                Dm
that people enjoy
                Am               A#
till all of the tricks dont work anymore
Dm              Gm       C
And then they are bored of me
             
                    F
I know that its exciting
                     Am
running through the night but
              Dm                Am
every perfect summer's eating me alive
            A#    Dm
unitl youre gone
Gm          C
Better on my own

[Chorus]

      F         Am            Dm 
They say, "you're a little much for me
         Am     A# 
You're a liability
          Dm         Gm    C
You're a little much for me"
               F              Am 
So they pull back make other plans
       Dm 
I understand
     Am     A# 
I'm a liability
        Dm         Gm    
Get you wild, make you leave
       C            Dm            F    A#       
I'm a little much for eh oh-na-na-na everyone

[Outro]
             Dm           F           A#
They're gonna watch me disappear into the sun
                 Dm        F           A#
You're all gonna watch me disappear into the sun

Liability

A                                     E 
Roll into your town and I'm walking around

Got some extra time think I'll throw some money down
                                                     D
And you follow me around, and you're asking for the time

Your asking what I found 
                         A
think I'm gonna rob you blind

maybe it's the tattoo on my arm
        E
that I drew while I was bored waiting tables in new york
Fm                                            D
 a  heart and two flowers intertwined with a vine

I think I’m lost without knowing so come and find me

‘Cause in the same space we’re disconnected and in your own mind you’re not attracted
But in your own life over reacted and in your own time

Why Cry

[Verse 1]
 G                              D
You like New York City in the daytime
 Bm                   A
I like New York City in the nighttime
 G                          D

Bm                  A
I don't, I need it on
G                  D
You like the light coming through the windows
 Bm                      A
I sleep late, so I just keep 'em all closed
G                  D
You ignore the music on the radio
Bm                 A
I don't, I sing-a-long

       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
Funny how the stars crossed right
       Bm                   A
'Cause we work so well and we don't even know why
 G              D
You can call it fire and ice
    Bm                  A
But we work so well and we don't even know why
G              D
We don't even know why, no no
Bm                          A
We don't even know why, no no no

We like it in the daytime

We like it in the end of time
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime

We like it in the end of time


[Verse 2]
G                        D
Cold outside and you're just in a T-shirt
Bm                   A
I have cold blood even in a sweater
G                         D
You start your night sippin' by the Kilo
Bm                   A
I don't, I know you know


[Pre-Chorus]
G               D        Bm             A
I don't ask for you to change, baby no no no

And you don't ask for me to change



[Chorus]
N.C.                     D
Tell me how we're not alike
       Bm               A
But we work so well and we don't even know why

We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)
N.C.
No no no no
D
We like it in the daytime

[Bridge]
G                          D
Somehow we end up on the same side
Bm                          A
And you wouldn't think that we'd be alright
G                      D            Bm             A
Even our eyes are different colors, but we see fine
G                         D
Somehow we end up on the same side (up on the same side)
Bm                            A

G                      D            Bm             A

(Oh)Tell me how we're not alike

But we work so well and we don't even know why

Funny how the stars crossed right

We don't even know why, no no

We like it in the daytime (we don't even know)
Bm                 A
We like it in the end of time (we don't even know)

No no no no

We like it in the daytime
Bm             A
We like it in the nighttime

Crash Years

Intro  D     Bm7   G     A     x2


Verse 1
    D                              Bm7
We never spoke a word, but every thought she had 
                         G     A Asus A
I heard from across the room 
             D                               Bm7
If we were standin' face to face I couldn't find the words 
               G               A Asus A
To say give me one more move 
        G              A             G                   A
I don't even know her name, I guess foolish pride's to blame


Chorus 
          D                        D7
Now, I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away
        Bm7                 F#              G                    A
And my heart won't tell my mind to tell my mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
        Bm7 A   G                              Gm
Now I'm fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

Verse 2
          D                           Bm7
Wise man next to me did say 'bout the one that got away
        G                    A
Son, I missed my chance 
           D                            Bm7
Don't you let regret take place of the dreams you have to chase
     G               A
Ask her to dance, go on, son
           G                 A              G                  A
You might fall down on your face, roll the dice and have some faith


Chorus
          D                        D7
Don't be fallin' in love as she's walkin' away

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say
 D                                  D7
May have lost this battle, live to fight another day
         Bm7 A   G                               Gm

When your heart won't tell your mind to tell your mouth what it should say

As She's Walking Away

Am                              E
There are children standing here,
                              G
Arms outstretched into the sky,
                          D
Tears drying on their face.
              Am
He has been here.
                          E
Brothers lie in shallow graves.
                           G
Fathers lost without a trace.
                           D
A nation blind to their disgrace,
                        Am
Since he's been here.
                    E
And I see no bravery,
 G                  D
No bravery in your eyes anymore.

Only sadness.

(Continue the same chord progression)

Houses burnt beyond repair.
The smell of death is in the air.
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here.
Tracer lighting up the sky.
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.

There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here.
Old men kneel to accept their fate.
Wives and daughters cut and raped.
A generation drenched in hate.
Says, he has been here.

And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore.
Only sadness.
