More chords by Harvey Danger

Genre: punk, rock, indie


[Intro]
Em G D B
(I recommend whistling the guitar melody for the intro, if you're playing

this solo acoustic)

[Verse 1]
Em G
Meet me up on 99, beneath the Marco Polo sign
Em A
I'll be the one with a box of wine and a hundred dollar car
Em
We could talk about the lives we've led
G
And count the reasons we're not dead
Em A
Or maybe we could talk instead about the ways in which we are

[Pre-Chorus]
G B
Always nothing or too much to say
G B
Only so many sides of the record to play
G B
And the song that got stuck in my head said

[Chorus]
Em D C B
You die by what you live by
Em D C B
You will die by what you live by
Em D C B A
You will die by what you live by every time

[Verse 2]

(Note that the second verse and prechorus use different progressions from the

first ones)
Em
Like carnivores to carnal pleasures
G
So were we to desperate measures
D Em
Melting into stagnant puddles, beat down by the sun
Em
I went to school, I didn't stay
G D
Spoke right up when I had nothing good to say
B
(and I said it to anyone who would listen)

[Pre-Chorus]
G B D
Lay me down in the bed that I made
C
Starved for sleep by the shrill serenade
