here are the chords

Hi everyone. It's a great song, surprised the chords aren't out there yet.

Mike Doughty
The Only Answer
Tuning: Standard

C G/B F (fsus2)
upon the rails
among the weeds
i had a moment of
serenity
i saw you stand
in all the green
upon the rusting rail
balancing

CHORUS
Am G F (Fsus2)
you were
the only answer
my plans
spun all around you
five years in the wrong, i am assured
my name to you is just another word

C G/B F (fsus2)
and in your bed
in morristown
you had magazines
thrown around
from under them
the phone it rang
and in the margin there
you wrote the number down

CHORUS

On Rockity Roll he plays it a half step lower, I believe (the F becomes an E, etcetera), thus the impending "beat down" from Thomas.
