Biography:
Electric President is the second of Ben Cooper's projects, this time with Alex Kane. The sound is a mix with folk, pop, electronic, with a sound that would be very much like if you threw The Postal Service, The Decemberists, The Flaming Lips, and George Orwell in a large blender.
They've recorded two albums and one EP under the Electric President moniker, all available under the German imprint Morr Music, with a third to be released in early 2010 on Fake Four Inc.

Capo 1st fret
I've just taken the other one on the site, and put some other chords on, since I think
is this way he plays it.
F C
There's a life full, dangling from string
F C
It's slowly swaying over my head now
F C G
As I jot down the words that will never be solved
Am G
And wait for my headache to numb
F C
And the wind sounds as if the world's sighing
F C
And the moon's just a torn fingernail
F C G
As the TV flickers in homes by the wall
Am G
And I wait for my eyesight to fade
F C Am G
So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow
F C Am G
So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow
Not pride, I choke on ambition
And the old folks circle their graves
And the young ones are busy destroying their heirs
And the heirs are still just wasting away
I sit and watch this screen for a message
Some kind of sign that says we're ok
But the screen stays blank till I turn the thing on
And I wait for my conscience to break
Instrumental: F - C - Am - F - G (I'm not sure about this, but it sounds ok)
So...
So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow
So I hope, So I hope, So I hope, it's so damn slow
I hope you are learning to listen
And I hope you are learning to stay
And I hope you find what you are missing
And I hope they're making your way
I'm a headcase if I don't keep moving
And my head hurts if I don't sit still
It's an itch that I never stop scratching
It's a hole that I'll never quite fill
So...
Outro: F - C - Am - G
