Chords

off Lonerism (2012) Killer song, on a killer album. There are not so many chords and it's fairly easy to do. Here I give the chords played on the synth (you can perfectly play them on the guitar). All hail Kevin Parker [First verse]
Fm//Bb/F (1 bar each, repeat x2)
Fm//Gm//G#//Bb//Cm (1-1-1/2-1/2)

Fm             Bb/F
All I give are little clues

Fm            Bb/F
Maybe one day I'll get through

Fm               Gm
There is nothing I can do

       Ab         Bb       Cm
I just keep on lying to you

Fm             Bb/F
I only need to say it's true

I just keep on lying to you

Fm              Bb/F
Should my cover ever blow

So here I am trying to be strong

Fm                 Bb/F
It was noon and my shadow's long

I guess I'll go a day just as soon 

         Ab         Bb       Cm
As I get to the end of this song,
The structure is slightly different in this second "verse". Basically the last two bars are just repeated.

To the end of this song,
To the end of this song, To the end of this song, To the end of this song...
