Chords

Song: Up With The Jones Artist: Bahamas I think when Afie plays it live on his own, he plays a G bar chord for the verse and then bars the 5th and 4th string with his index finger to play a quick Em power chord. [Intro]

[Verse 1]
G
I started out, I had no plan

                                              Em G
I took a job and soon was working for the man

                Em G                   Em G
And now it seems through modern dreams

                           Em G
And all I've done is learn to live beyond my means

        C   Em  G
Yes, we had the house

       C    Em  G
And we have the car

         C   Em  G
And paid for it all

        C  Em  G
On some credit card

                     Em G Em G
Now that ain't right

           Em G 
No, no, no
[Verse 2]
G
My second home, your student loan

                                              Em G
And every year I got myself a brand new phone

               Em G                   Em G
Can't do without, don't have the nerve

                         Em G
I tell myself that these are things that I deserve

       C     Em   G
Yes, I can't make do

          C    Em G
With just half my chеque

       C   Em    G
I need all those things

         C    Em G
And so I live in debt

                     Em G Em G
And that ain't right

               Em G G#
No, no, no, no
[Chorus]
    Am                      D
Everything that I thought I knew

    Am                    D
Everything I was told was true

      G                  Em
I was living a lie and I never asked why

    C                        D
And now I don't know what to do
N.C. I guess I can't keep up I guess I can't keep up with the Jones [Verse 3]
G
I can't slow down, I've lost control

                                            Em G
I double down and tell myself I'm on a roll

                Em G                Em G
It's not my fault, It's not like me

                            Em G
I never saw myself as someone who ain't free

        C  Em  G
Now I'm wondering

       C    Em  G
Has it gone too far

              C  Em  G
Should I pick up the cheque 

          C Em  G
From this hotel bar

                     Em G Em G
Now that ain't right

                Em G G#
No, no, no, no
[Chorus & Bridge]
    Am                      D
Everything that I thought I knew

    Am                    D
Everything I was told was true

      G                  Em
I was living a lie and I never asked why

    C                        D
And now I don't know what to do
N.C. I guess I can't keep up
                     G  F#   F   E
I guess I can't keep up with the Jones
E D Am G F# F E x2
E                     D
I was living like the money was king

Am                         G   G F# F E
I let it have the power on me

                    D
Now I recognize the funniest thing

           Am                     C
Is now I'm broken now I'm finally free
[Verse 4]
G
We all know life don't go as planned

                                             Em G
So now I'm buying all my records second hand

                    Em G                Em G
It's brought me these, I've come to see

                         Em G
That all my greatest joys in life are always free

        C    Em G
I still have my house

         C    Em G
But I've sold my car

            C  Em   G
And it felt so damn good

                C  Em  G
To cut up those credit cards

                      Em G Em G
Yeah that felt right

                  Em G G#
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
    Am                      D
Everything that I thought I knew

    Am                    D
Everything I was told was true

      G                  Em
I was living a lie and I never asked why

    C                        D
And now I don't know what to do
N.C. I guess I can't keep up
                                 G
I guess I can't keep up with the Jones
