Dimitri Mendelee chords by Astronautalis

Chords with lyrics

The most difficult thing about this song is performing it at Astro's speed, but if you slow it down a bit,
it's nice too.

These three chords repeated through the song:

E minorEm
G+G
C majorC

E minorEm
  Dreamed up the maps,
   G+G             C majorC
give me charcoal and the paper now.
We invent paths they cannot see,
and they're to scared walk.
E minorEm                      G+G
 Between my hands rests 52 plain old playing cards,
And I trapped God somewhere between
  C majorC
the trump and the king of hearts.

E minorEm
  Joni Mitchell said "we are stardust,
G+G                C majorC
we are golden", we are all the same.
Blood paints the story of our love,
across the bathroom floor towards the drain.

E minorEm                 G+G
Funny how everything just piles up, till one day,
                C majorC
you can't believe how far you came.
I'm made of mountains, made of metal,
made of whiskey, and waves.
E minorEm
  Won't believe your own breath,
     G+G
when the bold words finally escape your mouth.
C majorC
 Keep your secrets hidden,
till we're certain of just what we've found.
E minorEm
  Yeah, they bleed just like us,
    G+G
but our calling is what shapes us now.
C majorC
 Won't be held back, won't be tied up,
won't be pinned down.
E minorEm               G+G
 Won't be held back, won't be tied up,
won't be pinned down.
C majorC
 Won't be held back, won't be tied up,
won't be pinned down.
E minorEm               G+G
 Won't be held back, won't be tied up,
won't be pinned down.
C majorC
 Won't be held back, won't be...
Not now.

E minorEm
  Dreamed up the maps,
   G+G             C majorC
give me charcoal and the paper now.
We invent paths they cannot see,
and they're to scared walk.
E minorEm                      G+G
 Between my hands rests 52 plain old playing cards,
And I trapped God somewhere between
  C majorC
the trump and the king of hearts.
E minorEm
  Trump and the king of hearts.
G+G
  Trump and the king of hearts.
C majorC
  Trump and the king of...trump and the king of hearts.
E minorEm
  Trump and the king of hearts.
G+G
  Trump and the king of hearts.
C majorC
  Trump and the king of...trump and the king of hearts.

E minorEm
 It came to me, as strange as it seems,
    G+G
From a simple deck of cards laid ace to kings.
    C majorC
With my fingernail slipped under King Charlemagne,
I flipped the edge and traced the grain,
and watched it fall like a breaking wave.
E minorEm
  The ace of spades was last to splash.
     G+G
Trump to suicide kings, they all turned Bicycle backs.
 C majorC
I stared in the pattern, a pair of seraphim flashed,
And it just fit, elegant, "aww shit!". That's that.
E minorEm
Strange how you can waste away pained with one thing,
     G+G
The watchmaker breaks sweat, he can't tame a dumb spring.
     C majorC
Then one day its as plain as the nose above your smug grin,
like, "look what the cat dragged in!"
E minorEm
Woke from a dream, hands heavy in cold sweat,
G+G
Jumped from the bed, snatched up charcoal quick.
C majorC
Sketching frantically upon the bedroom brick,
It came together and it fit like this:
E minorEm          G+G
Give me a lever and a place to stand, I'll move the world.
C majorC
 You think you're clever, but you never, seen how it really works.
E minorEm
  Really works.
G+G      C majorC
  Really works.
Really works. Really works.
E minorEm
  Really works.
G+G      C majorC
  Really works.
Really works. Really works. Oh no...

E minorEm
  Dreamed up the maps,
   G+G             C majorC
give me charcoal and the paper now.
We invent paths they cannot see,
and they're to scared walk.
E minorEm                      G+G
 Between my hands rests 52 plain old playing cards,
And I trapped God somewhere between
  C majorC
the trump and the king of hearts.
E minorEm
  Trump and the king of hearts.
G+G
  Trump and the king of hearts.
C majorC
  Trump and the king of...trump and the king of hearts.
E minorEm
  Trump and the king of hearts.
G+G
  Trump and the king of hearts.
C majorC
  Trump and the king of...trump and the king of hearts.
