Undertow chords by Pet Shop Boys

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.)

           Em
There’s an undertow
C             D
pulling me to you
            Em
There’s an undertow
C             D
dragging me down
           Em
And there’s an undertow
C             D
I’ve got to pursue you
              Em
There’s an undertow
     D          Bm      C       Am    D
whenever you’re around, around, around

Cmaj7                Bm
Nothing has been spoken of this
Cmaj7                D
Neither of us has said
Cmaj7           Bm
anything to anyone
Am                   D
but nonetheless I’ve felt
Cmaj7                 Bm
danger when you cross my path
Cmaj7                D
or walk into the room
Cmaj7                 Bm
I cannot escape this fate
Am                  D
It’s my approaching doom

           Em
There’s an undertow
C             D

There’s an undertow
C             D
dragging me down
           Em

I’ve got to pursue you
              Em
There’s an undertow

whenever you’re around, around, around

Cmaj7                Bm
Save me, I can’t help it I’m sinking
Cmaj7            D
Help me get away
Cmaj7              Bm
But even as I speak these words
Am               D
I know I’m gonna stay
Em7             Em7dim
Oh, where is my guardian angel
Asus4           A
when I need him most?
Em7               Em7dim
Who’ll be my guardian angel
Asus4          A
with danger so close?
