The New Pornographers- Bleeding heart show ....i know why it gets me teary....



In my opinion.....this is the beet song i have come across in 10 years. its original and poignant in a way that honors normal people living normal lives and can be related to by the largest number of people.I know its an old song but I am amazed that this song was not in the pop top 10.I am really not amazed at all and I don't much care for payola and those who live off it.Its always good to hear a song that has content that goes beyond someones narcissistic head trip lyrics It honors normal everyday people and I admire them most.I have alwayse wondered what it was like to even be slightly acceptable and normal in society.This video showa me a little.I think thats why i getbtearful from its joy.The video shows normal unassuming people who are happy even though the words show a recognition of life's bitter sweet quality.I think in my mind I feel loss and sadness along with sympathetic joy.I admire the sanctity of their common humanity.The song is not about one person but a message many can relate to.I woke up with this song in my head and heart and was more earnest about understanding why.I like it when people are happy for them and also it makes feeling bad more miserable
Verse 1:
Dm Bb Dm
I leapt across three or four beds into your arms, where I had hidden myself,
Bb F
Somewhere in your charm. Our golden handshake has been

smashed into this shape
Gm
Its taken magic to a primitive new place.
Bb Am Bb Am
Watch him run, although it, the men are more heroic.

Verse 2:
Dm Bb
We hunched together in one chair out on the deck.
Dm
In snow that frozen fell down
Bb F
On the modern set. It looked as if I picked your name out of a hat.
Gm
Next thing you know you're asleep in someone's lap...
Bb Am Bb Am
Watch him run, although it, The men are more heroic.

Pre-chorus:
Am Dm Bb
We quit the room, quit so our thoughts can rest, rest them on nothing new
C Am
That's when we crowd the hall of whatever it is we fell into
Dm Bb C F Dm
Lousy with your good time, with what the majestic cannot find
Bb C F Dm Bb C Dm F
In the business of your lives, the perception it is wrong, mile after mile
Bb C
The phantom turns, drinking wine from your heels...

Chorus 1:
F Bb F Bb F Bb F Bb C.....
Oooooo—ooooowweeeeooooweeeeooooooooo (x2)

Chorus 2/outro:
Bb F C
(Hey la, hey la, hey la, hey laaaaa) x4 then Neko comes in over the 'hey la's' with
Bb F C

Bb F C Bb Dm
We have arrived... (x3) Hey la, hey la, hey la.
