Courtney Barnett - City Looks Pretty Chords

[intro]
A

[verse 1]
A
 The city looks pretty when you been indoors
                                             D
For 23 days I’ve ignored all your phone calls
    A
And everyone’s waiting when you get back home

They don’t know where you been,
                D
why you gone so long
A
Friends treat you like a stranger and

Strangers treat you like their best friend,
       D
oh well
A
 Spare a thought for the ones that came before

All in a daze bending backwards
              D
to reach your goal

[chorus 1]
C         D     A
Sometimes I get sad
C        D        A
It’s not all that bad
C        D     A
One day, maybe never
     C    G A
I’ll come around

[verse 2]
    A
The city takes pity on your injured soul

And heavenly prose ain’t enough
                   D
good to fill that hole
A
Everyone’s soaked in animosity

It’s vicious in winter,
                        D
you never say what you mean
A
Friends treat you like a stranger and

Strangers treat you like their best friend,
       D
oh well
A
 Wakin’ up to another dismal day

You got a ways to go,
              D
you oughta be grateful

[chorus 2]
C         D     A
Sometimes I get mad
C        D       A
It’s not half as bad
C        D      A
Pull yourself together
    C    D    A
And just calm down

[bridge]
D  A  D  A                                 D
        I’ll be what you want oh when you want it
A                          D
But I’ll never be what you need
A
And the city looks pretty
     D                A  E  A
from where I’m standing

[outro]
A  G  F#m  D
A  G  F#m  D
A  G  F#m  D
A  G  F#m  D
D  A
