Chords

Inside Job Transcribed by: Steven P. Notes: The tuning on this album version is about 3 cent above standard concert tuning. In order to play this song with the recording, it will be necessary to sharpen the tuning on all 6 strings slightly. I have included two fingerings for the G major chord. The second one, a barre chord, is intended to be used with the Gsus4 that precedes it.

        Bm7     F#m7         Bm7 F#m7
I had a good life before you came,

         Em7                   D/F#       G    Asus4
I had my friends and my freedom, I had my name.

                Bm7             F#m7                   Bm7   F#m7
Still there was sorrow and emptiness, till you made me glad.

       Em7               D/F#                    G   Asus4
Oh, in this love I found strength I never knew I had.
[Chorus]
    D                   A           Em7
And this love (this love, this love)

                            D    
is like nothing I have ever known.

          A        Em7
(this love is like nothing I have ever known.)

        D/F#      G                C                    D
Take my hand, love, I'm taking you home, I'm taking you home.
[Verse 2]
           Bm7               
There were days, lonely days,

         F#m7                      Bm7       F#m7
when the world wouldn't throw me a crumb, oh no.

      Em7              D/F#                 Asus4
But I kept on believing that this day would come, oh.
[Chorus]
    D                   A           Em7
And this love (this love, this love)

                            D    
is like nothing I have ever known.

          A        Em7
(this love is like nothing I have ever known.)

        D/F#      G                C                    D
Take my hand, love, I'm taking you home, I'm taking you home.
[Bridge]

Where we can be with the ones who really care.

Home, where we can grow together, keep you in my heart forever.
[Chorus]
        D                   A          Em7
Oh, and this love (this love, this love, this love)

                            D
is like nothing I have ever known.

          A        Em7
(this love is like nothing I have ever known.)

        D   F#m G           C    G           D
Take my hand,    taking you home, taking you home.

      Em     G             C          D 
Yes I am. Ooh, baby baby. (taking you home)
(Taking you home) taking you home, baby...
