Unguided Chords

Unguided by The New Pornographers

Here's the Chords from my favorite tune off the Challengers album.. enjoy.

Play along to get the pattern... the D to A switch is a bit quicker.

D C#m E Bm D A (x2)

D        C#m                 E
in every story, every secret told
                Bm                 D   A
you are not the first to wake up
D             C#m                       E    Bm   D  A
to learn your lines before you have the part
D           C#m                   E
you woke up early and you woke up torn
                Bm           D  A
you're the temporary border
D            C#m                    E       Bm D A
the heatwave humming in the house of cards

E (8x) Bm (16x)

(same chords as v1)
you spun chapter into rapture there
yeah, you were as brave as traffic
you chased the spotlight into her arms
and you forgot that you could fight
but not that you were still the person sleeping
the heatwave humming in the house of cards

  E                    F#m               C#m              D
a play for the girl, a cross for a hook, sinking into the greasy wonder
  E                    F#m               C#m              D
under the sea, walking the floor, over the waves that we lived under
A             D            C#m     F#m
something's unguided in the sky tonight
         C#m        D              E
there is something unguided in the sky

D C#m E Bm D A (x2)

D        C#m                 E
you wrote yourself into a corner safe
                Bm                 D   A
easy to defend your borders
D             C#m                       E    Bm   D  A
a fallen saint into a whispered time
D           C#m                   E
killing time because they have to, why?
                Bm           D  A
because it isn't mine, remember?
D            C#m                    E       Bm D A
killing time because it wasn't mine

       E                            F#m               C#m              D
you're earning your stripes, you're counting your stars
      C#m                   D
you're wary you barely work and wash
E                         F#m             
you're lucky to be on the line like you are
C#m                      D
you're lucky you've already been caught


A             D            C#m     F#m
something's unguided in the sky tonight
         C#m        D              E
there is something unguided in the sky

A
Do do do do dah (x2)
D
Do do do do dah (X2)

    E                F#m
and why wait for the weakened state
   E               F#m
to lie next to the weaker sex?

A
Do do do do dah (x2)
D
Do do do do dah (x2)

    E                F#m
and why wait for the weakened state
   E               F#m
to lie next to the weaker sex?

A
Do do do do dah (x2)
D
Do do do do dah (x2)

you're earning your stripes, you're counting your stars
you're (???) you barely work and wash
you're lucky to be on the line like you are
you're lucky you've already been caught

A             D            C#m     F#m
