Poised And Ready chords by Brendan Benson

Chords with lyrics

I like playing this song mostly with bar chords... makes it simpler for me and
prob for everyone who's used to those. Just play with it and let me know what you think of it.
Oh on the 1st bridge after the first two lines there a pretty easy bass mini riff
you can probably figure out... adds a lot to the song. If not here it is...

Intro: C majorC - G+G - A minorAm - G+G

                  Verse 1
C majorC
You're poised and ready
         G+G
Unable to make a sound
Your hands are sweaty
      A minorAm
As you look down
You're running already
         G+G
When you hit the ground

                  Verse 2 (same chords)
                      (C-G-Am-G)
You're willing and able
So nice to have around
The head of the table
Is tightly wound
The noise is loud
So turn it down

                  Chorus 1

FF        G+G
When you think about it
    E minorEm       A minorAm
Try to wrap your head around it
     FF
You find none of it
   G+G      A augmentedA
Makes any sense at all
FF          G+G
And people you once trusted
     E minorEm      A minorAm
Are now looking so disgusted
       FF       G+G
And they're waiting anxiously
      D MajorD
For you to fall

                  Verse 3 (again same chords... as verse 1)
                      (C-G-Am-G)
You take for granted
And take what you can grab
Fore say what's landed
Into your lap
You shake the hand
And take a stab

                  Verse 4 (and again verse 1 chords)
                      (C-G-Am-G)
And there's no need to doubt it
There's never been
Two ways about it
It takes a thick skin
There's ways around it
But no way in

                  Chorus 2 (same as 1st chorus)
When you think about it
Try to wrap your head around it
You find none of it
Makes any sense at all
And people you once trusted
Are now looking so disgusted
And they're waiting anxiously
For you to fall

                  Bridge 1 (* = insert cool riff here)

   E minorEm    A minorAm
And there you go  (*)
 E minorEm          A minorAm
Telling everybody you know (*)
 E minorEm        A minorAm
Selling a one man show
  D MajorD
So take a look around you now
   FF
And soak it up and take a bow

                  Verse 4 (same as 1st verse)
                      (C-G-Am-G)
You're living and crawling
And trying to catch a breath
You're stalling and dying
A augmentedA sudden death
And all the while
You second guess

                  Bridge 2 chords:

D MajorD - F# minorF#m  -  B minorBm - Bm/ABm/A - E MajorE
Ohh.. Ooh yeah.. Oooohhhh... Ohhh

                  Last 2 verses (verse chords change)
   D MajorD                      (same on last 2)
And now the time has come
      F# minorF#m
For it to stop
The clown was done
      B minorBm
So call a cop
       Bm/ABm/A
You're like a boy
       A augmentedA
In a china shop

You're poised and ready
Unable to make a sound
Your hands are sweaty
As you look down
You're running already
When you hit the ground


                  Outro chords:

D MajorD - B minorBm - A augmentedA - D MajorD
