Chords

Introduction --------------- The "authentic version" has the jazzy chords as they seemed to me, feel free to correct me. Recommended Effects: -------------------- reverb try to keep a clean sound perhaps turn the tone/treble a bit down. Authentic version ------------------ The version is partially deduced from live performance video in Audiotree - Chords: Asus2 5 7 7 6 0 0 Bsus4 7 9 9 8 0 0 E/G# x 11 9 9 9 x AM7/C# 9 12 11 9 9 9 (A Major 7th over C#) E x 7 9 9 9 7 (that's how it was probably played live) ( I actually prefer playing it: 0 2 2 1 0 0, gives it a more open and relaxing sound ) [Verse 1]
Asus2      Bsus4 
Hand over hand

      E/G#           AM7/C#
I'm pulling myself together

           Bsus4           Asus2
On this itchy couch again

              Bsus4 
I'd pull you in

       E/G#           AM7/C#
But I couldn't help thinking

      Bsus4   E        Asus2
Or My mouth was tarpaulin
(keep the Asus2) [Verse 2]

Let me start again

I didn't mean to say so

Bsus4   E        Asus2
Much about my plans

So you see my hand

        AM7/C#
See? It's never either/or now

Bsus4   E        Asus2
Stigmata ampersand
[Verse 3]
Asus2      Bsus4 
The morning is the self

E/G#      AM7/C#
it's self evident

   Bsus4  E      Asus2
A clattering of blinds

          Bsus4  
A mimetic wind

    E/G#      AM7/C#
A sympathetic tremor I'm

Bsus4   E     Asus2
A tessela of signs
(keep the Asus2) [Verse 4]
Asus2  Bsus4  E/G#
O I close my eyes and

AM7/C#
Fractal inner rings of

Bsus4 E     Asus2
varicose resign

Bsus4        E
Coiled dark inside

AM7/C#
I'll open my eyes and clear my

       Bsus4   E        Asus2
Throat when I know it's time
[Outro] Asus2 Bsus4 E/G# AM7/C# Bsus4 Simplified/Acoustic version This is my take on giving it a simpler sound if you wanna play acoustic. Chords: Asus2 x 0 2 2 0 0 Bsus2 x 2 4 4 0 0 E 0 2 2 1 0 0 [Verse 1]
