[Structure] Intro (1 x chords), Chorus, Break, Verse 1 (victims), Pre+Chorus, Break, Verse 2 (backless dress), Pre+Chorus, Solo, Verse 3 (deep in her eyes), Quiet Chorus, Loud Chorus, the ooh ooh shut up and dance x 2
1st verse no snare - just bass drum - just try to follow bass - E - 1 0 55 3 Then pre chorus - put snare in but no sub divisions Then full chorus - sub divisions Play the arp C 877 to Csus4 977 back to 877 then down to 677 Heavy bass riff - play barre chords for all but C (Gsus4 as well so C note drones) - C F at 1, Am at 5, G at 3 Then normal more open chords for Chorus early from G to F for 4 bars before solo then back in with 'deep in her eyes' for solo Am to Fmaj7/A then Am to G - do this times then normal chords punctuated for end muted u2 bit you can play Csus4 at 7th fret to C then play Gsus4 at 10 12 12 13 or at 3rd fret then 'shut up and dance' come back in is Am G BPM 128 - Chords C F Am G for all of this, only in the prechorus is the Am dropped (we took the floor and she said)
Note - Goes early to Ab7 in second verse twice I think
[Intro - barre is dropped in intro - why feels odd - pattern xxX XxX] [Ebm7][Ab7]Oo ooh [Db7maj9-x43444]heh hey [Gbmaj7-243322]ah [Cmin7b5-x3434] What we're living in, (drop index 1 fret for next chord) [Bmaj7-x2434] let-me-tell-ya
[Bb7#5-6x677x] (no ascending bass line) - pattern is xxX XxS - no final Drum into xxB BxS xSS BxB BxxB
[Verse 1 - try xxb BxB bass drum pattern] (B) (S)Yeah It's a [Ebm7]wonder man can [Ab7]eat at all When [Db7maj9] things are big that [Gbmaj7] should be small [Cm7b5]Who can tell what [Bmaj7]magic spells [Bb7#5] Will be doing [Ebm7] for us? .. And I'm
[Ebm7] giving all my [Ab7] love to this world [Dbmaj9] Only [Gbmaj7]to be told [Cm7b5] I can't see, I [Bmaj7] can't breathe, [Bb7#5] no more will we [Ebm7] be....And
(chord order changes - go to 2nd chord early) [Ab7]nothing's going to change the [Dbmaj9]way we live Cos' [Gbmaj7] we can always take but [Cm7b5] never give An [Cm7b5] now that things're changing [Bb7#5] for the worse, see
[Ebm7] Woah, [Ab7] It's a crazy [Dbmaj9] world we're living in [Gbmaj7] And I just can't [Cm7b5] see that Half of [Bmaj7] us immersed in [Bb7#5-6x677x] sin is (odd extra bars/chords?) all we [Bb7] have to [Dm7b5-x5656x??] give these
[Chorus 1] [Bmaj7] Futures [Ddim7-x5656x] made of [Ebm7]virtu - [Gbmaj7]al in [Abm7]sani - [Bb7]ty now [Bmaj7] Always [Ddim7] seem to be [Ebm7] governed [Gbmaj7] by this [Abm7] love we [Bb7] have for [Bmaj7] Useless, [Ddim7] twisting [Ebm7] of the [Gbmaj7] new tech [Abm7] no - lo [Bb7] gy .. Oh, [Bmaj7] now there is no [Ddim7] sound, for we [Ebm7] all live [c] under - [Abm7] ground [Bb7]
[Verse 2] And I'm [Ebm7] thinking what a [Ab7] mess we're in [Dbmaj9] Hard to know where [Gbmaj11] to begin If [Cm7b5] I could slip the [Bmaj7] sickly ties That [Bb7#5] earthly man has made .. And
(chord order changes - go to 2nd chord early) [Ab7] now every [Dbmaj9] mother [Gbmaj11] can choose the [Cm7b5] colour [Bmaj7] Of her child [Bb7#5] that's not nature's [Ebm7] way
(chord order changes - go to 2nd chord early) Well [Ab7] that's what they said yester [Dbmaj9] day There's [Gbmaj7] nothing left to do but [Cm7b5] pray I [Bmaj7] think it's time I found [Bb7#5] a new re [Dm7b5] ligion,
[Ebm7] wo - ah, it's [Ab7sus4] so insane to [Dbmaj9] synthesize a [Gbmaj11] nother strain There's [Cm7b5] something in these [Bmaj7] futures that we [Bb7#5] have to be [Dm7b5] told
