ben gibbard (lead singer of death cab for cutie and the postal service) playing "farmer chords" off the "home ep 5" live and acoustic on kexp. think it's okay to upload it as you can't buy it anywhere. if you want to buy the original song, buy the home ep or look it up on itunes (or wherever you prefer to download your mp3s). :)
lyrics:
I can't begin to compete with you
and everyone knows I know you know it, too.
It's a complicated fear
that grows with every year
and it's walking on it's own finally
All I can offer are farmer chords,
these simple rhymes and you painted in words
You can sing this when alone
or whistle it through your teeth
and it will feel like home
no matter how far you'll be
from my lonely arms outstretched
just beyond your reach
singing "ooh, baby, please..."
I can't begin to compete with you
and everyone knows I know you know it, too.
It's a complicated fear
that grows with every year
and it's walking on it's own finally
this KEXP session is amazing... the "(this is) the dream of evan and chan" live acoustic version is one of the best versions i've ever heard of any song ever...

There are so few artists that give me more pleasure when listening to the live version of a song, rather than the studio version.

This defines easy listening, just listen and let Ben Gibbard take you away.
