Kurt Vile – Bassackwards (Guitar)

             D                         C
I was on the beach but I was thinking about the bay

           D                     C
Got to the bay but by then I was far away

             D                  C
I was on the ground but looking straight into the sun

            D                              C
But the sun went down and I couldn't find another one

      Am
For awhile

                          C
For because it was an all-burning feeling in my chest

            Am
To fill the void

                          C
Of a long night unwatched by, well, the sun

          Am
Until the morn

                      C
Until when, well, the sun's reborn

          Am
And so am I

                          C
From all the scorn buried deep

                        D     C
Within the psyche of my soul

               D                   C
I was standing down but I was also on the run

      D    C
In my mind

             D                     C
I was on the radio talking with a friend of mine

                D                  C
There wasn't no format because well, we like it like that

                  D                         C
He was out of his mind and I was way out of mine

                     D
Then everything went backwards

           C
With words coming out

   D
Bassackwards

            C                        D    C
And I appreciate him to the utmost degree

             D                         C

Until the morn

                     D
Then everything went backwards

                C
I mean, phrases flying out

   D             C
Bassackwards, yeah

             D                     C
I was on the moon but more so, I was in the grass

                  D                   C
So I was chilling out but with a very drifting mind

                D
So I was on the ground circa planet earth

           C                         D
But out of sorts but I snapped back, baby

                 C
Just in time to jot it down and

      Am
Come around

                   C
And it's always to see you

            Am
And I came around

               C                         Am
It's always to see you here when I come around

                        C
Or when I'm plain come, comin' down

                     D
Then everything goes backwards

                   C          D C
I mean, everything moving out

                     D
Then everything goes backwards

                   C
I mean, everything oozing out

   D          C

(Strummin' a Chet Atkins)

               D
I was standing up

                             C
But you know I hate to still stoop you down

      D      C
To my level

   D
Bassackwards

           C                      D      C   D C D C
And I appreciate her to the utmost degree. yeah

                     D
Then everything went backwards

              C
I mean, words coming out

      D     C    D C
Bassackwards, yes

                         D             C D C
It's just the way things is these days

                         D              C
That's the way they come out these days

         D C   D              C D C
Just the way things come out

                   D C D C D C D C Am
To the utmost degree
