Chords

Written by Sleater-Kinney Tabbed by Lance Justice. I didn't deal much with tab. [Intro] Simply descend through the key of D (d c# b a g f# e) through two octaves twice. Then hit b followed by D in the primary octave. [Verse 1]

Give me a leg.

I haven't seen daylight in what must be days

I took the long way down

Lost track of myself

B          D             B           D      D
Confidence fell down the steepest of slopes.

Give me a line;

Lend me an oar.

I'll row you an ocean, I could do more!

I feel so much stronger

Now that you're here.

   B                 D   B           D          D
We've got so much to do. Let me make that clear.
[Chorus]
   B       D     B                 D           
We win, we lose, only together do we break the rules
We win, we lose, only together do we make the rules [Verse 2]

I'm breaking the surface,

Tasting the air.

I'm reaching for things like never before.

B                   D
The anchor is heavy, 

B                       D
I can't hold the weight; 

    B             D       B               D       D
The guilt holds me down - won't let me be myself!

Suck it all in!

B               D
Suck it all up!

    B       D      B           D   D      
Let go of thoughts holding me back!

B                      D
I'll push twice as hard 

B                  D
Towards it you see,

        B          D           B             D           
And the past falls away to the bottom of the deep.

We win, we lose, only together do we make the rules [Outro]
