Surface Envy Chords
Written by Sleater-Kinney
Tabbed by Lance Justice.

I didn't deal much with tab.

[Intro]
Simply descend through the key of D MajorD (d c# b a g f# e) through two octaves twice.
Then hit b followed by D MajorD in the primary octave.

[Verse 1]
BB       D MajorD
Throw me a rope,
BB       D MajorD
Give me a leg.
BB       D MajorD      BB      D MajorD  D MajorD
I haven't seen daylight in what must be days

BB            D MajorD
I took the long way down
BB          D MajorD
Lost track of myself
BB     D MajorD       BB      D MajorD   D MajorD
Confidence fell down the steepest of slopes.

BB       D MajorD
Give me a line;
BB       D MajorD
Lend me an oar.
BB        D MajorD   BB     D MajorD  D MajorD
I'll row you an ocean, I could do more!

BB            D MajorD
I feel so much stronger
BB          D MajorD
Now that you're here.
  BB         D MajorD  BB      D MajorD     D MajorD
We've got so much to do. Let me make that clear.

[Chorus]
  BB    D MajorD   BB         D MajorD
We win, we lose, only together do we break the rules
We win, we lose, only together do we make the rules

[Verse 2]
BB            D MajorD
I'm breaking the surface,
BB        D MajorD
Tasting the air.
  BB      D MajorD      BB   D MajorD   D MajorD
I'm reaching for things like never before.

BB          D MajorD
The anchor is heavy,
BB            D MajorD
I can't hold the weight;
  BB       D MajorD    BB        D MajorD    D MajorD
The guilt holds me down - won't let me be myself!

BB        D MajorD
Suck it all in!
BB        D MajorD
Suck it all up!
  BB    D MajorD   BB      D MajorD  D MajorD
Let go of thoughts holding me back!

BB           D MajorD
I'll push twice as hard
BB         D MajorD
Towards it you see,
    BB     D MajorD      BB       D MajorD
And the past falls away to the bottom of the deep.

[Chorus]
  BB    D MajorD   BB         D MajorD
We win, we lose, only together do we break the rules
We win, we lose, only together do we make the rules

[Bridge]
BB D MajorD X2
B minorBm D MajorD X2
BB D MajorD X2
D MajorD

[Chorus]
  BB    D MajorD   BB         D MajorD
We win, we lose, only together do we break the rules
We win, we lose, only together do we make the rules

[Outro]
    BB      D MajorD       B minorBm     D MajorD
When we leave say goodbye to your old way of life.
   BB       D MajorD       BB      D MajorD
I can breathe way up high now it's our turn to fly

(DmDm) D MajorD BB
