Chords

Capo: None This tab is based on the live version of "Motion Sickness" that Phoebe Bridgers played during her Tiny Desk Concert at NPR. You can watch the performance at the link below, it's the second song she plays during the set and begins 4 minutes into the video: In the clip, Phoebe is playing a baritone guitar tuned to AEAC#EA (open A major) with a capo on the 4th fret. This is equivalent to playing a regular guitar tuned to C#G#C#FG#C# with no capo.

[Verse 1] C#
  F#5                   C#*
I hate you for what you did

      F#5                    C#* C#maj7/C
And I miss you like a little kid

  C#6         C#/G# C#                Fm7#5 C#/F C#**
I faked it every    time but that's alright

F#5                  C#maj/F
I can hardly feel anything

F#5              C#maj/F F#5        C#/G# C#maj7/C C#**
I hardly feel anything       at all
[Verse 2]
    F#5                     C#*
You gave me fifteen hundred

            F#5       C#*  C#maj7/C
To see your hypnotherapist

  C#6           C#/G#  C#                     Fm7#5 C#/F C#**
I only went one        time, you let it slide

        F#5                C#maj7/F
Fell on hard times a year ago

F#5                         C#maj/F F#5             C#/G# C#maj7/C C#**
Was hoping you would let it go          and you did
[Chorus 1]
F#5*       C#*       Fm7#5  C#/F
    I have emotional motion sickness

F#5*         C#6      C#maj7/F F#5
    Somebody roll the windows  down

             C#           Fm7#5   C#/F
There are no words in the English language

C#6/9         C#maj7/F  F#5           C#/G# C#maj7/C C#**
      I could scream to drown you out
[Verse 3]
           F#5             C#*
I'm on the outside looking through

                F#5               C#
You're throwing rocks around your room

    C#maj7/C     C#6      C#/G#   C#                Fm7#5 C#/F C#**
And while you're bleeding on your back in the glass

        F#5                 C#maj7/F
I'll be glad that I made it out

    F#5                    C#maj7/F F#5             C#/G# C#maj7/C C#**
And sorry that it all went down         like it did
[Chorus 2]
F#5*       C#*       Fm7#5  C#/F
    I have emotional motion sickness

F#5*         C#6      C#maj7/F F#5
    Somebody roll the windows  down

             C#           Fm7#5   C#/F
There are no words in the English language

C#6/9         C#maj7/F  F#5           C#/G# C#maj7/C C#**
      I could scream to drown you out
[Chorus 3]
F#5*               C#*          Fm7#5   C#/F
    And why do you sing with an English accent

F#5*                 C#6     C#maj7/F  F#5
    I guess it's too late to change it now

             C#          Fm7#5   C#/F
You know I'm never gonna let you have it

C#6/9            C#maj7/F F#5
      But I will try to   drown you out
[Bridge] C#6/G# A#m F#5 C#6/G# A#m F#5
C#6/G#     A#m  F#5             C#6/G# A#m  F#5
       You said when you met me you    were bored

C#6/G#     A#m  F#5             C#6/G# A#m  F#5
       You said when you met me you    were bored

    C#6/G#             C#6/9     D#              C#maj7/F
And you, you were in a band when I was boooooo - ooorn
[Chorus 4]
F#5*          C#     Fm7#5  C#/F
    I have emotional motion sickness

F#5*              C#6       C#maj7/F F#5
    I try to stay clean and live     without

      C#                Fm7#5 C#/F
And I want to know what would happen

C#6/9    C#maj7/F F#5                    C#maj7/F F#5
      If I        surrender to the sound

          C#maj7/F  F#5           C#maj7/F F#5 C#maj7/F
Surrender toooooooooooo the sound

      F#5    C#maj7/F F#5     C#maj7/F F#5 C#maj7/F F#5     C#maj7/F
