Big Thief - Masterpiece Chords

[Intro] 

Am (one strum), C/G, Am, C/G

F     C/G   G                     F
Years, days, makes no difference to me babe
C/G                G          F
You look exactly the same to me
F         C/G  G                      F
Ain’t no time, crossing your legs inside the diner
C/G                     G               F
Raising your coffee to your lips, the steam

F                 C/G                          F
You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you
                   C/G
Wrapping her left arm around your right
G                 Am     C/G         Am    C/G
Ready to walk you through the night

F                  C/G         G                 F
 You whisper to a restless ear, “can you get me out of here?
C/G                    G             F
This place smells like piss and beer, can you get me out?”
F                C/G    G               F
You were asking me,      how to get you free
C/G               G        F
I only know the recipe to roam

F                 C/G                          F
You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like you
                   C/G
Wrapping her left arm around your right
G                 Am     C/G         Am    C/G
Ready to walk you through the night

F     C/G
 Old stars
G                F
 Filling up my throat
C/G                      G
 You gave em to me when I was born
 F
Now they’re coming out
F                      C/G       G                        F
 Laying there on the hospital bed your eyes were narrow, blue and red
 C/G                 G                 F
You took a draw of breath and said to me

F                 C/G                         F
You saw the masterpiece, she looks a lot like me
                  C/G
Wrapping my left arm around your right
G                 Am     C/G         Am    C/G
Ready to walk you through the night

Ready to walk me through the night
