Death Cab for Cutie - Here To Forever

[Intro]
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7

[Verse 1]
C C
In every movie I watch from the ’50s there’s only one thought
Fmaj7 Fmaj7
that swirls around my head now
C C
and that’s that everyone there on the screen, yeah, everyone there
Fmaj7 Fmaj7
on the screen, well, they’re all dead now, they’re all dead now.

[Verse 2]
C C
And it ain’t easy living above and I can’t help but keep falling in love
Fmaj7 Am G
with bones and ashes, with bones and ashes.
C C
And when the color is too bold and bright I’m daydreaming in black and white
Fmaj7 Am G
until it passes, until it passes.

[Chorus 1]
Am Dm Dm C F
I wanna know the measure from here to forever.
Am Dm Dm C F F
And I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever.

[Verse 3]
C C
Oh, these days it’s so hard to relax, you gotta hold a gun to my back
Fmaj7 Am G
to make me smile, to make me smile.
C C
And the only way I seem to cope is by trying to hold onto hope
Fmaj7 Am G
if just for a while, if just for a while.

[Chorus 2]
Am Dm Dm C F
I wanna know the measure from here to forever.
Am Dm Dm C F
And I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever.
Am Dm C F
Now it seems more than ever there’s no hands on the levers
Am Dm C F F
and I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever.

[Bridge]
G F G F
Only rollers keep rolling while the searchers keep scrolling.

[Interlude]
C C Fmaj7 Fmaj7
C C Fmaj7 Am G

[End-Chorus]
Am Dm Dm C F
I wanna know the measure from here to forever.
Am Dm Dm C F
And I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever.
Am Dm C F
Now it seems more than ever there’s no hands on the levers
Am Dm C F F
and I wanna feel the pressure of God or whatever,
C
or whatever.
