Chords

MGMT (2013) - Mystery Disease Note: The chord written as an "C/E" is actually meant to be an E minor chord with an added minor sixth (not replacing the fifth), but I do not know a way to write such chord, so "C/E" will have to do. Bear it in mind when playing the song though. Intro: C/E - Em - B7 - Bm7 C/E - Em - Bm7 - Em
C/E                Em
    It can't pay attention

B7                  Bm7
What slips into the system

        C/E                   Em
A light touch, a whisper that puts you to sleep

Bm7                       Em
Don't sympathize with the mystery disease

C/E                Em
    All it is is a feeling

B7                    Bm7
Pain in a dress too revealing

       C/E                     Em
A lost bond, an old friend who likes what it sees

     Bm7                Em   
You can't shake off the mystery disease
C/E - Em - B7 - Bm7 - C/E - Em - Bm7 - Em
C/E               Em
    Lovers in a past life

B7                                   Bm7
Meet in the street close to midnight

         C/E                        Em
A last look, sweet like the end of a dream

         Bm7                  Em
Then fall back into the mystery disease

C/E                  Em
    Go on, tell your symptoms to me

    B7                      Bm7
It's not in any of the books you can read

          C/E                         Em
It's no fun to face what you don't get to be

      Bm7                            Em
But what's one more to the mystery disease?
C/E - Em - B7 - Bm7 - C/E - Em - Bm7 - Em C/E - Em - B7 - Bm7 - C/E - Em - Bm7 - Em
C/E                 Em
     Floating impatience

B7                     Bm7
Snuffs my limited sapience

         C/E                              Em
Black smoke as soon as the pressure's released

Bm7                           Em
Deep space sighs, the Mystery Disease

C/E                        Em
     Consumed by a weakness

B7                        Bm7
Cut with perpetual unrest

            C/E                  Em
You see stars, sunsets blurred through a screen

Bm7                         Em
Trap what you want, waste what you need

C/E                                  Em
  And when the west wind sweeps through the leaves

B7                         Bm7
Emperors of history fall to their knees

         C/E                          Em
Small fronds can't see the wood for the trees

Bm7                          Em
Left in the dust of the mystery disease
C/E - Em - B7 - Bm7 - C/E - Em - Bm7 - Em
