Conor Oberst - Too Late to Fixate Chords

[intro]
D  A  Bm  G  Em  G  D

[verse]
D                 A
 Tried some bad meditation
D7                 G
 Sittin' up in the dark
D                       A
 They say to picture an island
G                           D
 'cause that's one place to start
D                           A
 I guess I could count my blessings
D7                    G
 I don't sleep in the park
Em                    Bm
 With all my earthly possessions
G                    A
 In one old shopping cart
F#m                  G
 No, I'm up in the penthouse
F#m               A
 On a big feather bed

[chorus]
       D  A        Bm G
Is it too late to fixate
Em  G
On that instead

[harmonica]
D  A  D7  G
D  A  G

[verse]
D                  A
 My wife takes a vacation
D7              G
 One she can't afford
D                  A
 I go fishin' the alleys
G                 D
 For someone to escort
D                     A
 No, I don't mind the money
D7                    G
 It beats betting on sports
Em                         Bm
 And though it might get expensive
G                    A
 It's cheaper than divorce
F#m                    G
 And I love her torn stockings
F#m                  A
 And her lipstick of red

[chorus]
       D  A        Bm G
Is it too late to fixate
Em  G       D
On her instead

[bridge]
Em                  Bm
 You know you're my favorite
F#m                    G
 She says when we're through
Em                  Bm
 Some parts are off limits
G                    A
 But I'd give them to you

[violin solo]
D  A  D7  G
D  A  G  D

[verse]
D                         A
 Where the hell was Dock Ellis
D7                   G
 When I gave up that hit
D                  A
 Where was Timothy Leary
G             D
 When reality bit
D                    A
 Who's the new Dalai Lama
D7              G
 That shy little kid
Em                  Bm
 With no room in his body
G                       A
 Where a stranger could live
F#m                      G
 I can't blame him for dreamin'
F#m                    A
 He'll sleep when he's dead

[chorus]
       D   A       Bm G
Is it too late to fixate
Em  G    Bm
On that instead
       D    A     Em G
Is it too late to fixate
Em    G
On that instead

[outro]
D  A  D7  G
D  A  D
