Deconstruction
Words & Music by Emily Saliers


The easiest way to learn where the chords should be placed is to play along with 
the CD -  all the variations on the A and E chords will make much more sense.


Intro:   A   Asus2   Asus4    A  Esus   Esus   E   E


    A                       D            Asus2  E
We talked up all night and still came to no conclusion
       A                 D      Asus2     E
We started a fight that ended in silent confusion
    D                         A                     D                           E
And as we sat stuck you could hear the trash truck making its way through the neighborhood
        D                            A
Picking up the thrown out different from house to house
    D                      E
We get to decide what we think is no good


We're sculpted from youth, the chipping away makes me weary
And as for the truth it seems like we just pick a theory
The one that justifies our daily lives and backs us with quiver and arrows
To protect openings 'cause when the warring begins
How quickly the wide open narrows


          A    Asus2    D            E            A
Into the smallness      of our deconstruction of love
                    D                    E
We thought it was changing, but it never was
                          A       Asus2   Asus4   A   Esus   Esus   Esus   E
It's just the same as it ever was     


A family of foxes came to my yard and dug in
I looked in a book to see what this could possibly mean
'Cause there is fate in the breeze and signs in the trees
Possible tragic events
When forces collide with the damage strewn wide
And holes blasted straight through the fence


The sky starts to crash, the rain on the roof starts to drumming
And laid out like cash your take on my list of shortcomings
The show starts to close, I know how this goes
The plot a predictable showing
And though it seems grand we're just one speck of sand
And back to the hourglass we're going


             A    Asus2  D             E                A
Back to the smallness     of our deconstruction of love
                   D                   E
We thought it was changing but it never was
               A   Asus2   D            E                A   (stop)
Still in the smallness      of our deconstruction of love
                    D                  E
We thought it was changing but it never was
                          A    Asus2   D   Asus4   E
Our deconstruction of love
                          A   Asus2   D  Asus4   E  (Esus hammer)
Our deconstruction of love


A   Asus2   Asus4   A   Esus   Esus   E   E   A
A   Asus2   Asus4   A   Esus   Esus   E   E   A
