Chords with lyrics
Ok, so this is a tab of Say Anything's "The Word You Wield". It consists mostly of chords, but there are two
small little riffs that are very easy. Hope you guys like it.
Chords used (I would play barring the 6th(
BB), 7th(
F#F#), and 2nd(F#F#). 
EbmEbm doesn't really matter. I like playing
it on the 6th fret, but that's just me):
Bb majorBb
BB
F#F#
EbmEbm
Ok so basically after each line of each verse the chord progression starts:
Bb majorBb BB F#F# and then you do the riff (there are two variations of it). It is also important to note that you play
the riff during the next line.
1st variation:
e|------------------------|
BB|--3-4-3-4-3-4-3---------|
G+G|------------------------|
D MajorD|------------------------|
A augmentedA|------------------------|
E MajorE|------------------------|
2nd variation:
e|----------2-------------|
BB|--3-4-3-4---4-3---------|
G+G|------------------------|
D MajorD|------------------------|
A augmentedA|------------------------|
E MajorE|------------------------|
These alternate between every other line so...
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
"You've got nowhere to go but up"
(1st variation)
e|------------------------|
BB|--3-4-3-4-3-4-3---------|
G+G|------------------------|
D MajorD|------------------------|
A augmentedA|------------------------|
E MajorE|------------------------|
????????????????????????
(You play this while saying the next line)
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
"To where you'll dine with foreign kings"
(2nd variation)
e|----------2-------------|
BB|--3-4-3-4---4-3---------|
G+G|------------------------|
D MajorD|------------------------|
A augmentedA|------------------------|
E MajorE|------------------------|
????????????????????????
(You play this while saying the next line)
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
"You can't forget about our tryst"
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
And all those other fleeting things
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
And will they train you like a dog?
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
And will they walk you down my street?
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
The wind will whistle our old songs:
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
The ones I'll always keep
************************************************************************************************************
FOR THE CHORUS MUTE STRUM IN BETEWEEN EACH CHORD AND BETWEEN EACH "YOU'VE GOT NOWHERE TO
GO" YOU CAN EITHER DO THE LITTLE RIFF OR JUST STRUM IT OUT ON F#F#
************************************************************************************************************
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
You've got nowhere to go, whoa, whoa
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
Nowhere to go, whoa, whoa x3
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
I've got a bone to pick with you
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
About the argument we had
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
The day you got into that cab
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
And said my world is in your past
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
You've got nowhere to go, whoa, whoa
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
Nowhere to go, whoa, whoa x3
EbmEbm
There must be something wrong with me
BB F#F# EbmEbm
My mind is just a sickly little alibi
BB F#F# EbmEbm BB
And why am I surprised you're giving up on me?
F#F# EbmEbm BB F#F#
Goodbye: the word you're wielding like a knife
EbmEbm BB F#F#
the word you're wielding like a knife
EbmEbm BB F#F#
the word you're wielding like a knife
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
You've got nowhere to go, whoa, whoa
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
Nowhere to go, whoa, whoa x3
Bb majorBb BB F#F#
The word you're wielding like a knife, whoa, whoa x4
Bb majorBb
