Pickin It Up chords by Hot Hot Heat

Guitar chords with lyrics

Should match pitch with the song with a capo on 1.

VERSE 1:
     A                        D           A    D  A
Everybody is waiting for everybody to get out
                                            D         A     D  A
I'll join 'em talking 'bout the people everybody talk about
                                          D            E7
And all the pretty people party while the petty people pout

CHORUS:

Woah, oh, oh,
D          A             D           A
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
D          A             D           A
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
D          A             D           E7
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down

VERSE 2:
              A                          D               A     D  A
We could have given up early when it was dark still, not light
                             D      A     D  A
Now it's the 48th hour of a two-day night
                                          D            E7
And all the pretty people party while the petty people fight

CHORUS:

Woah, oh, oh,

D          A             D           A
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
D          A             D           A
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
D          A             D           E7
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down

BRIDGE:
A                    F#m  D          E7
A jack-of-all-trades and a master of none
C#m      D                    A                  E7
Why do I have to be bored with being foolish and young?
A              F#m           D          E7
The show isn't over, but I'm long since gone
C#m           D                   A                     E7                    A
I feel like I let them down when I don't wanna trade my sunshine for a cloudy night

VERSE 3:
                                         D         A                           D           A
But everybody's pretending the sun won't ever come out (--ing it up but then I put it back down)
                                          D          A                                    D    A
I'll join 'em talking 'bout whatever everybody talks about (--ing it up but then I put it back down)
                                          D           E7
And all the pretty people party while the petty people shout

CHORUS:

Woah, oh, oh,

D          A             D           A
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
D          A             D           A
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
D          A             D           E7
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down

Woah, oh, oh,
D          A             D           A
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
D          A             D           A
Pickin' it up but then I put it back down
D          A             D           E7            A
