Josh Pyke - Fed and Watered
Drop-D tuning DADGBE
CHORDS:
A Bm7 F#m E Do5 E7 A* F#m* Dsus2 C#m/D Amaj9 F6 D5 A/D
INTRO:
A Bm7 F#m `E `Do5
VERSE:
there was a wait in the water a weight in the air
if I'd waited any longer an additional fare
and they can keep you a-round like a head on a stake
I guess the industry found a use for my namesake
I built my calluses up from foolin' on the guitar
I keep them hard in the midst of what seems soft and bizarre
and ephemeral notions like a song are a curse
offering a re-turn but making me feel worse
CHORUS-SHORT:
Dsus2 _C#m/D
if you want to quit you should quit like a winner cut your
Amaj9 _A
losses and extricate your-self from the bidding
Bm7 _F#m
and tell your friends that you coulda if you'd wanted to
E _Bm7
and tell yourself that it's strong to make a hard call
Bm7 _F#m
and when the others are all fed and watered you're
E _Bm7 E.
still bet'n' cheering her on by then I bet you'll be
RE-INTRO:
A Bm7 F#m `E `Do5
gone
VERSE:
so I sit in the meantime and sharpen my teeth
and encode all the bitterness I choose to bequeath
but if one equals C then yeah A equals three
but the encryption just adds to the mendacity
now I'm on top of the water still suppressed by the air
I earn my wage on a track that's almost totally bare
of the things I ex-pected when I first got the itch
I'd turn it off if on-ly there existed a switch
CHORUS:
Dsus2 _C#m/D
if you want to quit you should quit like a winner cut your
Amaj9 _A
losses and extricate your-self from the bidding
Bm7 _F#m
and tell your friends that you coulda if you'd wanted to
E _Bm7
and tell yourself that it's strong to make a hard call and
Dsus2 _C#m/D
if you wanna try you should try like a loser who
Amaj9 _A
keeps on betting their life on a slow horse
Bm7 _F#m
and every year well she gets a little more tired you're
E _Bm7 E.
still bet'n' cheering her on by then I bet you'll be
RE-INTRO-LONG:
A Bm7 F#m `E `Do5 Do5
gone
BRIDGE: (breakdown)
Do5. Do5
sometimes I get to a point where little problems seem too
Amaj9 _A*
big for me and then I let them un-
ravel like a line in the ocean sinking down into the
density
and when the pressure be-comes the same amount as what's in-
Amaj9 _A*
side of me I can sink and ex-
plode or hold my breath until I float I gamble on my own bi-
ology the barnacles on the
ladder bleed my feet while they set a good example in ten-
acity
CHORUS-LONG:
Dsus2. _C#m/D.
if you want to quit you should quit like a winner cut your
(tutti)
Amaj9 _A
losses and extricate your-self from the bidding
Bm7 _F#m
and tell your friends that you coulda if you'd wanted to
E _Bm7
and tell yourself that it's strong to make a hard call and
Dsus2 _C#m/D
if you wanna try you should try like a loser who
Amaj9 _A
keeps on betting their life on a slow horse
Bm7 _F#m
and every year well she gets a little more tired you're
E _Bm7
still bet'n' cheering her on
Bm7 _F#m
and when the others are all fed and watered you're
E _Bm7
still bet'n' cheering her on yeah you're
E _Bm7 E.
still bet'n' cheering her on by then I bet you'll be
