Chords

As recorded by Television (From the 1976 Album MARQUEE MOON) [Intro] E [Verse 1]
E
I knew it must've been a-some big set-up

E
All the action just would not let up

E
It's just a little bit back from the main road

E                                                 A
Where the silence spreads and the men dig holes
[Chorus]
A
I start to spin the tale

                           B
You complain of my diction

B
You give me friction (Friction!)

B
You give me friction (Friction!)

B                                E
You give me friction (Friction!)
[Guitar Solo] E [Verse 2]
E
My eyes are like telescopes

E
I see it all backwards, but who wants hope?

E
If I ever catch that ventriloquist

E                                         A
I'll squeeze his head right into my fist
[Chorus]
A
Something come a-tracking in

                                   B
What is it? What's the prediction?

B
I'll bet you it's friction (Friction!)

B
I'll betcha it's friction (Friction!)

B
I'll bet you it's friction (Friction!)
[Verse 3]
                 E
How does a snake get out of its skin?

E
Here's a depiction...
[Guitar Solo] E [Verse 4]
E
Oh, stop this head motion, set the sails

E                                            A
You know all us boys gonna wind up in jail
[Chorus]
A
Well, I don't wanna grow up

                               B
There's too much contradiction

B
And too much friction (Friction!)

B
But I dig friction (Friction!)

E
You know I'm crazy 'bout friction (Friction!)

E
F-R-I-C-T-I-O-N
[Outro]
E
(Friction!)

E
(Friction!)

E
(Friction!)
