Notes:
------
When you play a D chord, it's usually always followed by a Dsus4 then back to D, eg:
E|-2-2-3---3-2---| B|-3-3-3---3-3---| G|-2-2-2---2-2---| D|-0-0-0-----0---| A|---------------| E|---------------|
Also, whenever an G follows and A chord, this is played to bridge the chords:
During the verses: During the chorus:
E|-----------------3---| E|----------------3---| B|-2--3-3-3/5------0---| B|-2--3--3/5------0---| G|-2--x-x-x-x--0-0-0---| G|-2--2--x-x--0-0-0---| D|-2-----------0-0-0---| D|-2--2-------0-0-0---| A|-0---------------2---| A|-0--------------2---| E|-----------------3---| E|----------------3---|
So, when all put together, the guitar intro is played like this:
[Bm] [A] [G] [Em] [D] [A] [G]
E|----7-7-7------5-5-5------3-3-3------0-0-0---2----3---2-------------------3---| B|----7-7-7------5-5-5------3-3-3------0-0-0-x-3----3---3---2--3-3-3/5------0---| G|----7-7-7-x----6-6-6-0----4-4-4-0----0-0-0-x-2--2-2-2-2-0-2--x-x-x-x--0-0-0---| D|----9-9-9-x----7-7-7-0----5-5-5-0----2-------0--0---0---0-2-----------0-0-0---| A|-9----------7----------5----------2-----------------------0---------------2---| E|-7----------5----------3----------0---------------------------------------3---|
VERSE 1
-------
Bm* A* G* Em
I think I'll go home and mull this over
Til I cr[D]am it do[A]wn my thro[G]at
Bm* A* G* Em
At long last it's crashed, it's colossal mass
Has broken up[D] into bit[A]s in my mo[G]at
CHORUS 2
--------
[Em] Rip the m[D]attress [Em] off the fl[D]oor
[Em] Walk the c[D]ramps off, go me[A]ander in the c[G]old
[Em] Heavy and d[D]ark skinned,[Em] hiding the f[D]act you're dead again
[Em] Undernea[D]th the powerl[A]ines seeking sha[G]de
[G/F#]Far a[G]bove[/F#] our [G] heads[/#F] are the [G]icy heights[/F#] that con[G]tain all reason
VERSE 2
-------
It's a lucious mix of words and tricks
That let us bet when we know we should fold
On rocks I've dreamt of where we stepped
And the whole mess of roads we're now on
CHORUS 2
--------
Hold your glass up, hold it in
Never betray the way you've always known it is
One day I'll be wondering how I got so old
Just wondering how I never got cold wearing nothing in the snow
This is way beyond my remote concern of being condescending
BRIDGE 1
--------
[Bm]All [Bm/A]these [G]squa[G/F#]wking [Em]birds [G/F#]won't [G]quit
[Bm]Buil-[Bm/A]ding [G]no - [G/F#]thing [Em]lay - [G/F#]ing [G]bricks
PLAY VERSE, CHORUS 2 AND BRIDGE AGAIN
