Chords with lyrics
Okay, these are the EXACT RIGHT CHORDS, and you can play them exactly this
way if you want. Being that I'm using a ukulele, I play it differently
because some of these chords don't even exist in ukulele world. I don't know
how my simplified version would sound on a guitar, but you can give it a
shot.
My simplified chords:
E minorEm
BB
E minorEm
E minorEm
G+G
D MajorD
D MajorD
The simplification probably won't work on a guitar, but maybe it will.
Anyway, here is the COMPLETE AND UNSIMPLIFIED VERSION OF THE SONG
TUNE YOUR GUITAR DOWN A augmentedA SEMITONE (though I don't, and it sounds fine.)
Intro:
Em/DEm/D
E minor 7Em7
I know what you want
BB
I wanna take you to a midnight show tonight
E minor 7Em7
If you can keep a secret
BB
I've got a blanket in the backseat on my mind,
E minor 7Em7
And a little place that sits beneath the sky.
B minorBm
She turned her face to speak,
D MajorD
But no one heard her cry.
-mute------- E minor 7Em7 Em7/BEm7/B
Drive faster, boy-----
Em7/D
Drive faster, boy-----Yeah--
E minor 7Em7
I know there's a hope.
BB
There's too many people trying to help me cope.
E minor 7Em7
You've got a real short skirt,
BB
I wanna look up, look up, look up, yeah, yeah.
E minor 7Em7
We were just in time,
BB
Let me take a little more off your mind.
E minor 7Em7
There's something in my head,
Somewhere in the back said:
BB
We were just a good thing, we were such a good thing.
E minor 7Em7
Make it go away without a word.
B minorBm
But promise me you'll stay,
D MajorD
and fix these things I've hurt.
-mute strings----- E minor 7Em7 Em7/BEm7/B
Oh make it go away, oh----.
Em7/D
Drive faster, boy----, yeah, oh no,
Solo:
Em/DEm/D
E minor 7Em7
A augmentedA crashing tide can't hide a guilty girl.
E minor 7Em7
With jealous hearts that start with gloss and curls.
A minorAm
I took my baby's breath, beneath the chandelier.
G+G
Of stars in atmosphere,
BB
And watched her disappear, into the midnight show----
Em7/D
A-faster,
E minor 7Em7
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no,
BB
No, no, no, no, no.
Em7/A
If you can keep a secret,
Em7/A
Well baby I can keep, you can keep a secret.
BB
If you can keep a secret, I can keep a secret.
Em7/A
If you can keep a secret,
E minor 7Em7
Well baby I can keep, you can keep a secret.
