TICKLE ME RED (2008) - SAY ANYTHING ** GUITAR IS IN NON-STANDARD TUNING: D-G-D-G-B-D, Capo II ** This is more an adaptation than necessarily a totally accurate transcription of the original. The verse chords certainly sound very close to being exact, though there are a couple of notes in the upper end of the voicing that are hard to account for (sometimes there's a E in the midrange you like doing altered tunings. ==================================================== [VERSE I] Am11 G G6 Em9 Em7 Am11 G(9) Csus2

Am11                                 G    G6  Em9 Em7
 Now we're getting down early in the afternoon

        Am11                               G(9)         Csus2
We do a hundred sketchy things I swore I'd never get to do

          Am11                       G        G6 Em9 Em7
There's a fire in your smile, let me watch for a while

          Am11                             G(9)        Csus2
Can't keep my eyes off your legs with that dress on you
[PRE-CHORUS]
Am11 G    G6 Em9  Em7
     Wake me up now

Am11 G(9)      Csus2
   I need this so bad

Am11                   G         Em9
 All the drugs I could fit in my lungs

Em7     Am11                            G              Csus2
Couldn't fuck me up half as hard as the understated one

[INSTRUMENTAL] Am11 G G6 Em9 Em7 Am11 G(9) Csus2 [VERSE II]
Am11                              G   Em9 Em7
 You make a blunt remark about my size

           Am11             G(9)           Csus2
As we walk down Sunset Blvd trading starry eyes

        Am11                           G       G6  Em9 Em7
And the things that you say pierce the hide of LA

         Am11                           G(9)          Csus2
Watch you giggle as it spits up bile to block your way

      Am11
And I melt
[PRE-CHORUS]
        G       Em9   Em7
As your top lip wrinkles

Am11  G(9)    Csus2
 With lips so nimble

Am11                      G     G6  Em9  Em7
 Wakes my ghost, queen of my former coast

    Am11                                G(9)       Csus2
You extend your arm to save me from its hungry mount

[VERSE III]
Am11                             G  G6   Em9
 You tend to laugh with childish dignity

    Em7 Am11                     G(9)          Csus2
and you tend to pretend that you didn't always see

       Am11                          G         Em7
When I psychically said, "you should choose me instead."

  Am11                             G        Csus2
My eyes stripped you bare right in front of me
[PRE-CHORUS]
Am11 G  G6  Em9  Em7
 But if you leave me

Am11  G(9)   Csus2
 I'll always wait here

Am11             G        G6  Em9  Em7
 Born blunts put holes in our tongues

          Am11                        G(9)     Csus2
I wish to God I could've met you as a younger one
[CHORUS]
    G/C       Em7         G/C
And I've been waiting all my life for

A7sus
I've been waiting all my life for

G/C                               A7sus
I've been waiting all my life for this

Am11                    G/C
Waiting all my life for this
