MGMT - Siberian Breaks Chords by Ryan McGrath Distinction between two different Cmaj7 chords and other specific voicings: Amadd9 = x02410 Cmaj7 = x32410 Cmaj7* = x32000 Note for Part D: In this part of the song, when A major or E major is played, they are rotating frequently between A and Asus4, and E and Esus4. Part A (00:00 - 01:22): Amadd9 Cmaj7 Amadd9 Cmaj7 Bbm Cm Bbm Cm Amaj7
        Amadd9               Cmaj7
                Sleep as the goer

            Amadd9                  Cmaj7
        the bridge that watches the light speed through

        Bbm                 Cm
        And cries while the spirit stumbles

        Bbm               Cm                     Amaj7
        the inside missile for the protection of you

        Amadd9             Cmaj7
                Maybe it's silent

            Amadd9              Cmaj7
        the voice can't bear anymore strain

        Bbm                Cm
        but speaks without even knowing

            Bbm            Cm                        Amaj7
        and streams out of sight in the direction of truth
Amaj7 Em Amaj7 Em Part B (01:23 - 01:51): Transition:

        |------------------|

        Gm                 C                 Dm
                There's no reason there's no secret to decode

        Gm                   C                 Dm           G
                if you can't save it, leave it dying on the road

        Gm                C                Dm       C
                wide open arms can feel so cold, so cold
Feel so cold Part C (01:52 - 02:09): Em F# D C#m Bm E Part D (02:10 - 04:44): Transition - Play A major until the singing comes in.
        A       
        Balance the books, the ledges, the loons

                                     F#m
        the disappointed look on the faces

                           E
        that squint at the moon

        C#m                       Bm
        Let's see it with shadows enhanced

                 C#m                   D
        and then vote to decide who'll advance

        A
        Silver jet plane, making a turn

                                F#m                          E
        exciting the brain that expects it to crash and then burn

        C#m                             Bm
        it's not the life lesson I'd've guessed

        C#m                             D
        if you're conscious you must be depressed

                    A                   C#m
        or at least cynical

        Em
        But someone might still eat the steaks

        F#
        even if they're tough

        D
        Spending the day

        C#m
        chewing the fat

        Bm                  E                        A
        floating away isn't rough but it's not enough

        A
        Oh Marianne, pass me the joint
the sandpaper's tan
           F#m                     E
        go-getters are surfing the point

            C#m                      Bm
        and London's a scratch on the lens

             C#m            D
        it's over before it begins

        A
        Silk 'round her neck falls down to her shoulders

                             F#m                      E
        the older I get, the more I suspect there's a trick

            C#m                        Bm
        but really there's no trick at all

             C#m                 D
        that doesn't result in a fall

             A                  C#m
        or a faltering

        Em
        But something might spit out the bait

        F#
        even if it's real

        D
        Rolling away

        C#m
        missing the spoke

        Bm                         E                  A       C#m
        close to the ground like a wheel but it's not joke

        D
        Holding the line

        C#m
        clutching the phone

        Bm                E                   A
        nobly wasting the night, but it isn't right

                          F#
        it's not right

        D
        Smelling for blood

        C#m
        praying for rain

        Bm                 E                   A
        running away isn't rough, but it's not enough
Let the last A chord ring. Part E (04:56 - 05:59):
        Eb                      Gm                   Cm       Fm     Cm
                The low tide is telling me when it's over,

        Bb                    Dm            Gm
                to breathe in everything exposed

        Eb                      Gm                   Cm       Fm     Cm
                and comes back to cover me with a blanket

        Bb                    Dm            Gm
                being here's always changing tunes
Cm Bb F Eb Dm G Am G Em Part F (06:07 - 08:21) Dm G7 Am G Em A Dm G7 Am G Em A Dm G7 Am G Em A Dm G7 Am G Em A
        Dm                G7                  Am               G   Em       A
                The empty sky surrounds me but I can't see at all

        Dm                G7               Am         G      Em     A
                wide open arms can feel so cold

        Dm                  G7                Am                G    Em     A
                and you can sit beside me and tell me what it's worth

        Dm                   G7               Am      G      Em     A
                but I hope I die before I get sold

        Dm               G7               Am          G      Em     A
                I hope I die before I get sold

        Dm                 G7               Am                G      Em     A
                I'd rather die before I get sold
Part G (08:22 - 08:58):
           Dm           C             Bdim
        If you find the soul that you lost

        E                   Am
                frozen in a starry void

        Dm      C                   G
        Take it within and hope the sight of blood

                          Cmaj7*
        can will signs of life to return

        Dm          C           Bdim
        Back to the way that it was

        E                      Am
                long before it made a noise

        Dm         C       G
        To keep on quietly reminding you

                     Cmaj7*
        what's never created or destroyed
Part H (08:59 - 09:11): Fmaj7 Cmaj7* Fmaj7 Cmaj7* Part A (09:12 - 09:52):
        Amadd9              Cmaj7
                Wake as the swell peaks

            Amadd9                  Cmaj7
        the close-outs drowning the birds with roars

        Bbm                         Cm
                and howls scare the new unkindness

             Bbm              Cm             Amaj7
        that picks and laughs at the carrion scene

        Amadd9             Cmaj7
                Forces you see breathe

            Amadd9         Cmaj7
        can always go into hiding

        Bbm                      Cm
                and wait 'til it passes over

           Bbm                   Cm
        or stay far gone for all eternity
Let the final Cm chord ring. Part I (09:55 - 12:10): A G#m A G#m A G#m A G#m A G#m A G#m A G#m A G#m A G#m A G#m A G#m A G#m
   A G#m A G#m
                ... Fade out
(Basically repeat these two chords until the fade-out)
