Chords

Album: Kaleidoscope (1980) No guitar in this synth song... Sounds good when played with powerchords. [Intro] (drums) A# C# G# C A# C# G# C A# C# G# C [Verse 1]
    A#         C#              C           F#
She falls into frame with a professional pout

        A#          C#        G#              C
But the Polaroids ignite upon seeing their subject
A# C# G# C
         A#      C#    G#    C
And the aperture shuts too much

  A# C#  C  F#
exposure
A# C# G# C [Verse 2]
   A#        C#          G#           C
Voyeur sucks into focus, floodlit the glossy

      A#       C#          G#           C
kiss-pit

        A#            C#  C   F#
But as emulsion drips down, down

     A#      C#    G#    C
The aperture shuts too much

  A# C#  G# C
exposure
A# C# G# C [Chorus]
     A#        C#
Come into this room

C              F#
Come into this gloom

A#                C#
See the red light rinsing

G#             C
Another shutterslut

A#    C# G# C
wincing
A# C# G# C [Verse 3]
    A#              C#  C     F#
The sagging, half-wit   sister

A#            C# G#      C
Pretty, pretty   picture

      A#           C#  G#     C
Of an ancient nipple  shrinking

     A#          C# G#      C
That Kodak whore    winking

          A#        C#
'Til the aperture shuts

C       F#
Too much

  A# C#  G# C
exposure
A# C# G# C A# C# G# C [Chorus]
A#             C#
Come into this room

C              F#
Come into this gloom

A#                C#
See the red light rinsing

 G#            C
Another shutterslut

A#    C# G# C
wincing
A# C# G# C [Outro]
A#         C#  C    F#
See the red    light

A#    C# G# C
rinsing

         A#         C#  G#   C
When you see the red   light

A#    C# G# C
wincing

A#    C# C  F#
Wincing
N.C. Wincing...
