Chords

I'm not completely happy with the coda. The main piece uses G chord alternating between the G and B with rhythm then a full D Chord arpegiated over DF#A The A to D only uses first and third in the chord with rhythm. Song starts with a percussive intro for 5 measures, then uses G D x 3
G     D          G      D
Oh, the periphery

G     D          G      D
They throw good parties there

G     D          G      D
Those peripheral idiots

G     D          G      D
Always have a bite to bear

A            D
Bear it if you can

A            D
If you really want to

G     D          G      D
Go to the periphery

G     D          G      D
Have them celebrate your name

G     D          G      D
Have them forge you a pedigree and then you'll be

G     D          G      D
Left to run the races lame

A            D
Run it if you want

A            D
If you think it's worth it

     G   D   Em  
But not with me
[Chorus]
 Bm                  C
Cause I don't appreciate

G   Bm  Em   
People who

Bm           C
Don't appreciate

G         Bm                  Em      C
All that loving must've been lackin' something

    Em     Bm             Em          G
If I got bored tryin' to figure you out

     G       Bm     
You let me down

Cm                          G
I don't even like you anymore at all
{Continues as for first verse and chorus}
G     D          G      D
Oh, the periphery

G     D          G      D
I lost another one there

G     D          G      D
He found a prettier girl than me

G     D          G      D
With a more even-tempered air

A                       D
And if he wants her, he should get her

A                        D
Cause I think he thinks she's worth it

G     D          G      D
And maybe they'll move from the periphery

G     D          G      D
By themselves, or on a plot of land

G     D          G      D
And I'll care in a different capacity, I'll just be

G     D          G      D
Hoping he makes a good family man

A                       D
And if he finds himself yearning

A                       D
For his throne on the silly side

A                       D
Nothing wrong as long as he's learning

A                       D
Besides, you can take it up with his brethren

D                       G   D   Em   
Or with his bride, just not with me
[Chorus]
Bm                  C
Cause I don't appreciate

G   Bm  Em   
People who

Bm           C
Don't appreciate

G         Bm                  Em      C
All that loving must've been lackin' something

    Em     Bm             Em          G
If I got bored tryin' to figure you out

     G       Bm     
You let me down

Cm                          G
I don't even like you anymore at all
G D G D x 3 [Extro]
G   D     G    D
Oh,      the periphery

G   D     G    D
Oh,      the periphery

G   D     G    D
Oh,      the periphery

G   D     G    D
Oh,      the periphery

G   D     G    D (repeat through the outro, steady beat, vocals with expression)
Stole you away
Away, away Stole you away, away (percussion to fade)
