Aperture Ukulele

	  		
Intro: G G C G D G 


verse 1 
G                      C 
Happiness is somewhere I have been before- 
G                   C 
A blurry photograph that I have since ignored 
G 
I'll carefully adjust the aperture once more 
G               D      G 
Until I set the record straight 
G                         C 
I'll brush aside the dim, make room for the bright 
G                        C 
I'll be an editor, no, a curator of light 
G 
I'll let my better angels always set me right 
G            D       G 
Until I even out the score 
G            D       G 
Until I even out the score 

 
C           Em 
God, it has been quite a year- 
G                       D 
I've lived a little bit and I've died a little more 
C                Em 
I know that I've asked it before 
G                        D              G 
But please let the scale tip here in my favor 


verse 2 
G                          C 
What was once the sweetest melody I've heard 
G               C 
Is now a memory reduced to little words 
G 
I'll tune the orchestra and play the overture 
G                D     G 
Until I pinpoint every note 
G 
Give me the heart of an archeologist 
                       C 
That I may dig until I prove that I exist 
G              C 
A subterranean cathedral in my midst 
G           D       G 
Where echos come to rest 
G           D       G 
Where echos come to rest 
G                   D       G 
Is this where echos come to rest? 

 
C           Em 
God, it has been quite a year- 
G                   D 
I've lived a little bit and I've died a little more 
C                Em 
I know that I've asked it before 
G                        D              G 
But please let the scale tip here in my favor

Until I set the record straight

G                   D      G 
Until I can set the record straight
