Sloan - Close Encounters

Capo: 1st fret

[Intro]
D A D A
D A D A

[Verse 1]
D Am
If you could grab the moon
D
And I’ll take the river
A D
Let’s try to deliver
Am D A
Some chills down the spine
D Am7
I bet you’re wondering
D
About the clouds in the sky
A D
And how they always pass by
Am7 D A
Like thieves in the night
D
As for children
Am7 D
Having been one, I know that
A D
Small change can be hard
Am7 D
Like the stones from your yard

[Pre-Chorus]
D
These times are insane
G Dm A
So many never getting away with it
D
I’m wearing my mask
G Dm
A second summer drawing close to its end

[Chorus]
D
I know
C
There’s a pretty big part of me
D
That tries to let go
Bb C D A
This thing keeps hiding in corners just the same

[Verse 2]
D
It’s so depressingly sad
Am D
How held hostage we are
A D
By the Wi-Fi bars
Am D A
And all the gas in our cars
D
The blinking caution light
Am D
The fantods howlin’ skyward
D
Like it’s been rigged from the start
D
There’s a big hole in your heart
D
And I bet you’re wondering
Am D
Are all the best times behind you?
D
Or are they soon to remind you?

[Pre-Chorus]
D
The sky’s going out
G Dm A
So love your brothers and your sisters the same
D
I’m wearing my mask
G Dm
Another changer posted, modern world game

[Chorus]
D
Why show?
C
There’s a window inside of me
D
It’s starting to snow
Bb C D
Winters come and the winters go away
C D
Summer and spring will fall away

[Outro]
Bb C D
