Chords with lyrics

That's Inertia by Hutch and Kathy of The Thermals

This other extremely catchy and rare song is from the Take-Away show that Hutch and
Kathy put on. I discovered the video for it on youtuve and knew I needed to work the song
out so I could play it. These chords should get you through it well enough. Listen to
the song for the fine-tuning. Enjoy!


Intro Bb majorBb
(repeat for a while then after the pattern go to DmDm then a short Bb majorBb and start the first
verse. Listen to the song and you’ll get it)

FF
When I’m in motion
C majorC
I stay in motion
Bb majorBb
That’s intertia

When I’m in motion
I just stay in motion
That’s intertia

FF
When I see the rain
A augmentedA
I don’t complain

I just keep rowing
Bb majorBb
I just keep going

C majorC
That’s inertia
Bb majorBb
Oh baby that’s intertia

FF
(sing with me)
Oooh
C majorC
You keep me up
DmDm
You hold me down


When I do nothing
Well I just do nothing
Cause that’s intertia

When I do nothing
I stay doing nothing
That’s intertia

When I see the rain
I just close the shades
I won’t go outstide
Won’t even open my eyes
Cause that’s intertia

(sing with me)
Oooh
You keep me up
You hold me down

Bridge:
A augmentedA
I’ll keep energy
A augmentedA
Store it inside of me
C majorC
And once I start I’m hard to stop

Solo (intro chords)

When I’m in motion
I stay in motion
That’s inertia

When I’m in motion
I stay in motion
That’s inertia

When I see your face
I wanna stay in one place
Your touch is so soothing
But I gotta keep moving
That’s inertia
Oh baby that’s inertia

(sing with me)
Oooh
You keep me up
You hold me down
Oh inertia
You keep me up
You hold me down
(sing with me)
Oooh
You keep me up
You hold me down
That’s inertia
That’s inertia
