Hope this is easy to follow, the rhythm of the song is easy, when you know it. Listen to
a live version or a recording for the timing. Play the chords high on the neck, ie
Barre chord B and A, 5th root barre F#m, D and E. In the verse, the F#m and D are an
upstrum, listen to it and you'll see what I mean. Hope it helps, I've literally just spent 20
mins working it out, I think it's 100%. I'm not sure about the lyrics in the last part
though :D
B - F#mADBF#m
I finally had all my ducks in a row
ADBF#mADBF#m
peace and quiet by means of subtraction.
ADBF#mADBF#m
And how she got in, I'm not sure that I know.
ADBF#mADBF#m
Two weeks on and my spine was in traction
AD
my eyes in a basket.
B F#m A D x4
BF#mADBF#m
My gut and my heart are so out of phase
ADBF#mADBF#m
And that kind of girl she ain't nobody's daughter
ADBF#mADBF#m
I'm just not used to these powerful waves
ADBF#mADBF#m
She's shining the brass and I'm taking on water
AD
What am I to do now?
DEDE
I call on a beautiful witch
DEDEBF#m
With a moral compass bait and switch
AD
B F#m A Dx 3
then (no guitar, but if you want to play, use the same chords as previous verses B F#m A D)
Hide from my psychic derailer
Drive this car to the sea
Spend this night as high as I can
up a towering hemlock
BF#mADBF#m
But it's no use I can always be found
ADBF#mADBF#m
A creature of habit has no real protection
ADBF#mADBF#m
I tell her I'll leave if she don't settle down
ADBF#mADBF#m
She sees it's a lie on closer inspection
AD
Like everyone else does
(No clue what the lyrics to this section are, album not out for another week, so I'm
taking ones I found online!)
DEDE
The running a terrible chomp
DEDE
All this smoke in
F#mB
my eyes.
F#mB
I'm just a simple man
F#mB
Cursed with an honest heart
DEB
Why'd she go and tear it all apart?
B F#m A D x8
then
DEDE
The running a terrible chomp
DEDE
All this smoke in
F#mB
my eyes.
F#mB
I'm just a simple man
F#mB
Cursed with an honest heart
DEB
Why'd she go and tear it all apart?
