Bait and Switch Lyrics

Hope this is easy to follow, the rhythm of the song is easy, when you know it. Listen to
a live version or a recording for the timing. Play the chords high on the neck, ie
Barre chord B and A, 5th root barre F#m, D and E. In the verse, the F#m and D are an
upstrum, listen to it and you'll see what I mean. Hope it helps, I've literally just spent 20
mins working it out, I think it's 100%. I'm not sure about the lyrics in the last part
though :D
I finally had all my ducks in a row
peace and quiet by means of subtraction.
And how she got in, I'm not sure that I know.
Two weeks on and my spine was in traction
my eyes in a basket.
My gut and my heart are so out of phase
And that kind of girl she ain't nobody's daughter
I'm just not used to these powerful waves
She's shining the brass and I'm taking on water
What am I to do now?
I call on a beautiful witch
With a moral compass bait and switch
B F#m A Dx 3
then (no guitar, but if you want to play, use the same chords as previous verses B F#m A D)
Hide from my psychic derailer
Drive this car to the sea
Spend this night as high as I can
up a towering hemlock
But it's no use I can always be found
A creature of habit has no real protection
I tell her I'll leave if she don't settle down
She sees it's a lie on closer inspection
Like everyone else does
(No clue what the lyrics to this section are, album not out for another week, so I'm
taking ones I found online!)
The running a terrible chomp
All this smoke in
my eyes.
I'm just a simple man
Cursed with an honest heart
Why'd she go and tear it all apart?
then
The running a terrible chomp
All this smoke in
my eyes.
I'm just a simple man
Cursed with an honest heart
Why'd she go and tear it all apart?
