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(B), 7th(F#), and 2nd(F#). Ebm doesn't really matter. I like playing
it on the 6th fret, but that's just me):
BbBF#Ebm
Ok so basically after each line of each verse the chord progression starts:
BbBF# 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|------------------------|
B|--3-4-3-4-3-4-3---------|
G|------------------------|
D|------------------------|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|

2nd variation:
e|----------2-------------|
B|--3-4-3-4---4-3---------|
G|------------------------|
D|------------------------|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|
These alternate between every other line so...
BbBF#
"You've got nowhere to go but up"
(1st variation)
e|------------------------|
B|--3-4-3-4-3-4-3---------|
G|------------------------|
D|------------------------|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|
????????????????????????
(You play this while saying the next line)
BbBF#
"To where you'll dine with foreign kings"
(2nd variation)
e|----------2-------------|
B|--3-4-3-4---4-3---------|
G|------------------------|
D|------------------------|
A|------------------------|
E|------------------------|
????????????????????????
(You play this while saying the next line)
BbBF#
"You can't forget about our tryst"
BbBF#
And all those other fleeting things
BbBF#
And will they train you like a dog?
BbBF#
And will they walk you down my street?
BbBF#
The wind will whistle our old songs:
BbBF#
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#
************************************************************************************************************
BbBF#
You've got nowhere to go, whoa, whoa
BbBF#
Nowhere to go, whoa, whoa x3
BbBF#
I've got a bone to pick with you
BbBF#
About the argument we had

The day you got into that cab

And said my world is in your past

You've got nowhere to go, whoa, whoa
BbBF#
Nowhere to go, whoa, whoa x3
Ebm
There must be something wrong with me
BF#Ebm
My mind is just a sickly little alibi
BF#EbmB
And why am I surprised you're giving up on me?
F#EbmBF#
Goodbye: the word you're wielding like a knife
EbmBF#
the word you're wielding like a knife
EbmBF#
the word you're wielding like a knife
