The Party's Crashing Us by Of Montreal chords
All the chords in this song are barred as far as my bad ear can tell. All the C's are
the 8th fret, D's at 5th, Em at 7th, etc.
Intro-
Gm, C, F, A#, Gm, C, A#
second time ends with Gm (maybe? this last chord I am not so sure is Gm).
D C
You're such a mystery
Em D Bb A (These two are barred at the 13th and 12th
I just want to stand and stare frets, respectively)
D C
Nibble on your ear
Em Bb (This time down at the 1st fret)
And smell the ocean in your hair
(Ocean in your hair, ocean in your hair)
D C
I know you damage me
Em D Bb A
You leave me tangled in a knot
D C
But when you reappear
Em Bb
I see Neptunian blues that eyes forgot
C G (Not sure on this G, it sounds like it is at the 10th fret)
Neptunian blues that eyes forgot
Gm (this one is at 3) C
Still, I only feel alive when the VU is flashing
F A#
Alarms going off in my head
Gm
I want to grab you and just kiss you
C
Maybe I should sit down
A#
No sense in cacheing us now
Gm C
Yeah, I only feel all right when the VU is flashing
F A#
And bombs going off in my head
Gm
I want to grab you, want to scream at you
C
No icing you down
A#
The party's crashing us now
The party's crashing us now
The rest follows the same pattern, this sounds close enough to play along with to me.
The rest of the lyrics, according to songmeanings.net:
We'll make love like a pair of black wizards
You free me from the past
You fucked the suburbs out of me
Oh well, those ugly days that made us so sick
They are just fossils now
We've learned the elevating trick
Still, I only feel alive when the VU is flashing
Alarms going off in my head
I want to grab you and just kiss you
Maybe I should calm down
No sense in cacheing us now
Still, I only feel alive when the VU is flashing
Bombs going off in my head
I want to grab you, want to scream at you
no icing me down
The party's crashing us now
The party's crashing us now
I only feel all right when the VU is flashing
Alarms going off in my head
I want to grab you, want to scream at you
No icing me down
The party's crashing us now
I only feel all right when the VU is flashing
And bombs going off in my head
I want to grab you, and just kiss you
Maybe I should calm down
No sense in cacheing us now
The party's crashing us now
