Bait And Switch chords by The Shins

Hope this is easy to follow, the rhythm of the song is easy, when you know it. Listen to
a live version or a recording for the timing. Play the chords high on the neck, ie
Barre chord B and A, 5th root barre F#m, D and E. In the verse, the F#m and E are an
upstrum, listen to it and you'll see what I mean. Hope it helps, I've literally just spent 20
mins working it out, I think it's 100%. I'm not sure about the lyrics in the last part
though :)



B - F#m  A     E      B - F#m
I finally had all my ducks in a row
A  E
B   F#m  A      E    B   F#m
peace and quiet by means of subtraction.
A  E
B    F#m   A      E      B  F#m
And how she got in, I'm not sure that I know.
A  E
B  F#m A        E    B  F#m
Two weeks on and my spine was in traction
  A      E
my eyes in a basket.

B F#m A E x4

B F#m     A     E     B  F#m
My gut and my heart are so out of phase
A  E
B    F#m   A        E    B   F#m
And that kind of girl she ain't nobody's daughter
A  E
B    F#m A       E    B  F#m
I'm just not used to these powerful waves
A  E
B    F#m     A       E     B  F#m
She's shining the brass and I'm taking on water
   A     E
What am I to do now?

D E     D     E
 I call on a beautiful witch
D    E   D    E     B  F#m
 With a moral compass bait and switch
 A  D

B F#m A E x 3

then (no guitar, but if you want to play, use the same chords as previous verses B F#m A E etc)

Hide from my psychic derailer
Drive this car to the sea
Spend this night as high as I can
up a towering hemlock

B  F#m   A      E    B  F#m
 But it's no use I can always be found
A  E
B  F#m    A     E     B   F#m
A creature of habit has no real protection
A  E
B   F#m    A      E      B  F#m
 I tell her I'll leave if she don't settle down
A  E
B     F#m  A    E     B  F#m
 She sees it's a lie on closer inspection
    A      E
Like everyone else does

(No clue what the lyrics to this section are, album not out for another week, so I'm
taking ones I found online!)

D   E    D    E
The running a terrible chomp
D   E  D   E
All this smoke in

F#m   B
my eyes.
F#m     B
I'm just a simple man
F#m       B
Cursed with an honest heart
D         E      B
Why'd she go and tear it all apart?

B F#m A E x8

then

D   E    D    E
The running a terrible chomp
D   E  D   E
All this smoke in

F#m   B
my eyes.
F#m     B
I'm just a simple man
F#m       B
Cursed with an honest heart
D         E      B
