Undertow chords by Pet Shop Boys

Chords with lyrics

Feel free to correct the middle 8. I picked the chords that IMO fit the melody best, not
sure how it was originally written.

[Intro]

C-D-Em-C
(the ascending feel of the progression is mainly due to using inversions, you can
experiment with that.)

      E minorEm
There’s an undertow
C majorC       D MajorD
pulling me to you
      E minorEm
There’s an undertow
C majorC       D MajorD
dragging me down
      E minorEm
And there’s an undertow
C majorC       D MajorD
I’ve got to pursue you
       E minorEm
There’s an undertow
   D MajorD     B minorBm   C majorC    A minorAm  D MajorD
whenever you’re around, around, around

Cmaj7Cmaj7        B minorBm
Nothing has been spoken of this
Cmaj7Cmaj7        D MajorD
Neither of us has said
Cmaj7Cmaj7      B minorBm
anything to anyone
A minorAm          D MajorD
but nonetheless I’ve felt
Cmaj7Cmaj7         B minorBm
danger when you cross my path
Cmaj7Cmaj7        D MajorD
or walk into the room
Cmaj7Cmaj7         B minorBm
I cannot escape this fate
A minorAm         D MajorD
It’s my approaching doom

      E minorEm
There’s an undertow
C majorC       D MajorD
pulling me to you
      E minorEm
There’s an undertow
C majorC       D MajorD
dragging me down
      E minorEm
And there’s an undertow
C majorC       D MajorD
I’ve got to pursue you
       E minorEm
There’s an undertow
   D MajorD     B minorBm   C majorC    A minorAm  D MajorD
whenever you’re around, around, around

Cmaj7Cmaj7        B minorBm
Save me, I can’t help it I’m sinking
Cmaj7Cmaj7      D MajorD
Help me get away
Cmaj7Cmaj7       B minorBm
But even as I speak these words
A minorAm        D MajorD
I know I’m gonna stay
E minor 7Em7       Em7dim
Oh, where is my guardian angel
Asus4Asus4      A augmentedA
when I need him most?
E minor 7Em7        Em7dim
Who’ll be my guardian angel
Asus4Asus4     A augmentedA
with danger so close?

      E minorEm
There’s an undertow
C majorC       D MajorD
pulling me to you
      E minorEm
There’s an undertow
C majorC       D MajorD
dragging me down
      E minorEm
And there’s an undertow
C majorC       D MajorD
I’ve got to pursue you
       E minorEm
There’s an undertow
   D MajorD     B minorBm   C majorC    A minorAm  D MajorD
whenever you’re around, around, around

C/EC/E         D/ED/E
I know that there’s trouble coming
E minorEm         D/ED/E
I know that there’s trouble coming
C/EC/E         D/ED/E
I know that there’s trouble coming
E minorEm
and it’s coming soon

      E minorEm
There’s an undertow

There’s an undertow
   D MajorD     B minorBm   C majorC    A minorAm  D MajorD
whenever you’re around, around, around

There’s an undertow
