Architecture in Helsinki - Contact High
------------------------------
Key of F#, ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer.
Key change to A augmentedA for the final chorus.
------------------------------
They keep it simple with the 3-chord progression, but you can keep things
interesting by sustaining, muting and changing your strumming pattern in
different parts, like they do in the song. Watch for the chords in brackets,
which I transcribed to match the cadences at the end of most of the verses.

INTRO:
F#F# - BB - EbmEbm - EbmEbm

VERSE 1:
F#F#    BB           EbmEbm EbmEbm
If one of these two walls could speak
      F#F#         BB       EbmEbm   EbmEbm
I'd turn the lights down long enough to hit repeat (babe)
       F#F#         BB
Right now my vision is gone and magic's to blame
   EbmEbm          EbmEbm
It's silent down here, hey I want to get loud again
F#F#       BB             EbmEbm  EbmEbm
You'll hold the thunder while I bring the rain

PRE-CHORUS:
      F#F#               BB      EbmEbm EbmEbm
I might be dancing doing nothing but I've had my share
       F#F#              BB        EbmEbm (BB - F#F#)
You've got a strange infatuation with the elements in the air

CHORUS:
F#F#
Contact high
BB           EbmEbm
I'm done dreamin that we can fly
EbmEbm       F#F#

BB         EbmEbm
I've got nothing to hide

VERSE 2:
F#F#     BB           EbmEbm   EbmEbm
Four letter words won't hold any sway (uh uh)
     F#F#      BB                 EbmEbm EbmEbm
And in a paradise that shakes the word "romantic" to the bone
F#F#         BB         EbmEbm         EbmEbm
Mystical forces are circling me, while perfect nostalgia is dating the enemy
F#F#           BB
Lost in the ether with no one to blame
   EbmEbm          (BB)      (AbmAbm)
It's silent down here, maybe I want to get loud again

CHORUS:
F#F#
Contact high
BB           EbmEbm
I'm done dreamin that we can fly
EbmEbm       F#F#

I've got nothing to hide
EbmEbm
(When we touch I get a)

I've got nothing to hide
