Lua (Conor Oberst and Gillian Welch)

Chords used: G-C-Am-D-A7-Em



capo 7

[G]I know that it is freezing but i think we have to [C]walk
I just keep [G]waving at the taxis they keep turning their lights [C]off
but [Am]Julie knows a party at some actor's west-side [D]loft
supplies are [Am]endless in the [C]evening by the [Am]morning [D]they'll be [G]gone

[G]When everything is lonely i can be my own best [C]friend
I get a [G]coffee and the paper have my own conversa[C]tions
with the [Am]sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflec[D]tion
the mask i [Am]polish in the [C]evening by the [Am]morning [D]looks like [G]shit

And I [C]know you have a heavy heart, I can [G]feel it when we kiss
So [C]many men stronger than me have thrown their [G]backs out trying to [A7]lift it
But [C]me i'm not a [Em]gamble you can [G]count on me to [C]split
The love I [Am]sell you in the [C]evening by the [Am]morning [D]won't [G]exist

[G] [C]
[G] [C]
[Am] [D]
[Am] [C] [Am] [D] [G]

[G]You're looking skinny like a model with your eyes all painted [C]black
Just keep [G]going to the bathroom always say you'll be right [C]back
Well it [Am]takes one to know one kid i think you've got it [D]bad
But whats so [Am]easy in the [C]evening by the [Am]morning's [D]such a [G]drag

I've got a [G]flask inside my pocket we can share it on the [C]train
And if you [G]promise to stay conscious i will try and do the [C]same
Yeah we [Am]might die from medication but we sure killed all the [D]pain
But what was [Am]normal in the [C]evening by the [Am]morning [D]seems in[G]sane

And i'm [C]not sure what the trouble was that [G]started all of this
The [C]reasons all have run away but the [G]feeling never [A7]did
It's not [C]something i would [Em]recommend but it [G]is one way to [C]live
Cause what is [Am]simple in the [C]moonlight by the [Am]morning [D]never [G]is
Yeah it was [Am]simple in the [C]moonlight now it's [Am]so complica[Em]ted
It was so [Am]simple in the [C]moonlight, so [Am]simple in the [C]moonlight, so [Am]simple in the [C]moonlight... [G]
