Bait and Switch The Shins
Hope this is easy to follow, the rhythm of the song is easy, when you know it. Listen to
a live version or a recording for the timing. Play the chords high on the neck, ie
Barre chord B and A, 5th root barre F#m, D and E. In the verse, the F#m and D are an
upstrum, listen to it and you'll see what I mean. Hope it helps, I've literally just spent 20
mins working it out, I think it's 100%. I'm not sure about the lyrics in the last part
though :D
[B]I [-]fi[F#m]nally h[A]ad all my [D]ducks in a r[B]ow[-] [F#m]
[A] [D]
[B]peace [F#m]and qu[A]iet by means [D]of subtr[B]action[F#m].
[A] [D]
[B]And how [F#m]she got i[A]n, I'm not s[D]ure that I k[B]now.[F#m]
[A] [D]
[B]Two w[F#m]eeks [A]on and my spine w[D]as in tra[B]ction[F#m]
my e[A]yes in a bask[D]et.
B F#m A D x4
[B]My [F#m]gut and my h[A]eart are s[D]o out of ph[B]ase[F#m]
[A] [D]
[B]And that [F#m]kind of g[A]irl she ain't no[D]body's d[B]aughter[F#m]
[A] [D]
[B]I'm just [F#m]not u[A]sed to these po[D]werful wa[B]ves[F#m]
[A] [D]
[B]She's sh[F#m]ining the br[A]ass and I'm ta[D]king on wa[B]ter[F#m]
What a[A]m I to do n[D]ow?
[D] I [E]call on a b[D]eautiful w[E]itch
[D] With a [E]moral c[D]ompass b[E]ait and sw[B]itch[F#m]
[A] [D]
B F#m A Dx 3
then (no guitar, but if you want to play, use the same chords as previous verses B F#m A D)
Hide from my psychic derailer
Drive this car to the sea
Spend this night as high as I can
up a towering hemlock
[B] But [F#m]it's no [A]use I can alw[D]ays be fo[B]und[F#m]
[A] [D]
[B]A cr[F#m]eature of h[A]abit has no[D] real prote[B]ction[F#m]
[A] [D]
[B] I tell[F#m] her I'll l[A]eave if she d[D]on't settle d[B]own[F#m]
[A] [D]
[B] She sees i[F#m]t's a l[A]ie on cl[D]oser inspe[B]ction[F#m]
Like eve[A]ryone else do[D]es
(No clue what the lyrics to this section are, album not out for another week, so I'm
taking ones I found online!)
[D]The run[E]ning a te[D]rrible ch[E]omp
[D]All thi[E]s sm[D]oke in[E]
[F#m]my eyes.[B]
[F#m]I'm just a si[B]mple man
[F#m]Cursed with an h[B]onest heart
[D]Why'd she go and t[E]ear it all ap[B]art?
B F#m A D x8
then
[D]The run[E]ning a te[D]rrible ch[E]omp
[D]All thi[E]s sm[D]oke in[E]
[F#m]my eyes.[B]
[F#m]I'm just a si[B]mple man
[F#m]Cursed with an h[B]onest heart
[D]Why'd she go and t[E]ear it all ap[B]art?
