Chords

Great song, sad she didn't release it on Spotify with her album. Anyway, enjoy, and let me know about any corrections.

[Opening pattern]
        C         -      Am7        -      G/C        -       F
e|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
B|----1--1--1-1----|---1--1--1--1----|---1--1--1--1----|---1--1--1--1----|
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|--------------x2-|--------------x2-|--------------x2-|--------------x2-|
A|--3--3--3--3-----|-0--0--0--0------|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-----------------|-3--3--3--3------|-1--1--1--1------|

This continues for the first verse and until the end of the chorus ("My dissonant tones"). Here, it simply shortens each chord and skips the Ami7:

e|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
B|----1--1--1-1----|---1--1--1--1----|---1--1--1--1----|
G|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
D|-----------------|-----------------|-----------------|
A|--3--3--3--3-----|-----------------|-----------------|
E|-----------------|-3--3--3--3------|-1--1--1--1------|

The second verse and chorus go exactly the same way. The bridge is a bit different. It cuts out at the beginning and then comes back in:

e|------------------|-----------------|
B|----0--0--0--0----|---1--1--1--1----|
G|------------------|-----------------|
D|---------------x2-|--------------x2-|
A|------------------|-----------------|
E|--3--3--3--3------|--1--1--1--1-----|

This repeats until the end of the bridge, where it ends on that F. Finally, it comes back in with the main pattern, which continues until the strummed final chorus (see chords below). You could also just play the chords, or a sort of finger picking in-between, which is what I would recommend. [Intro] C Am7 G/C F [Verse 1]

C
I'm a resonant body

Am7
With knuckles and lungs

G/C
Beat me with cymbals

F
Play chords on my tongue

[Chorus 1]

C
I'm a resonant body

Am7
With elbows and toes

G/C
Drum on my rib cage

F
Release my dissonant tones

             C   G   F
My dissonant tones

             C   G   F
My dissonant tones

[Verse 2]

C
I'm a resonant body

Am7
Trace it along my skin

G/C
In the freckles and old scars

F
And the lines I have hid

[Chorus 2]

C
In a resonant body

Am7
All the frequencies hold like

G/C
Dirty feet on carpet

F
Your breath in the cold

                   C   G   F
Your breath in the cold

                   C   G   F
Warm breath in the cold

[Bridge]

G                 F
I'm sorry for our miscommunications

G                 F
And force fed sympathies

G
I'll rest in the garden

     F
With roots, oh and the reeds

G               F
Safe from human frequencies

[Refrain]

C    Am7   G/C   F
Oh   Oh     Oh    Oh   (x2)

[Chorus 3]

C
I'm a resonant body

Am7
With elbows and toes

G/C
Drum on my rib cage

F
Release my dissonant tones
