Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
There are two versions I play this song:
1) Using 1 downstroke for the whole chord and 2 upstrokes just on the bottom
string for each chord. In this case I play "Dm Am E Am" as shown below
2) Using the palm to mute after each chord, and substituting every first "Am" with
a fast "Dm Am" and every secon "Am" with a fast "E Am". This way every line has
"Dm - - Dm Am - - - E - - E Am"
Intro:
Dm Am E Am x4
.::Verse::.
Dm Am E Am
I took the perfect avenue, down the road to both of you
Dm Am E Am
Did I go dutch? This is too much!
Dm Am E Am
With all the money in the world, you could never buy this girl
Dm Am E Am
Quite enough, it will be tough
Dm Am E Am
If romancing me with neons is something you should do
Dm Am E [hold]
May the letters write in luminous, in-lou
.::Chorus::.
Dm Am E Am
And get me wicked up, shake it up, tangled up
Dm Am E Am
You could be breaking up, making up, tangled up
Dm Am E Am
You can’t be faking it, Making it from my love
Dm Am E Am
With all this tragedy, don’t get me tangled up
Dm Am E Am x2
.::Verse::.
Dm Am E Am
I can’t separate your sins, to me you’re acting like you’re twins
Dm Am E Am
This is a mess, is this a test?
Dm Am E Am
How many guesses do I get till only one of you is left?
Dm Am E Am
You’re quite the same, if love’s the gain
Dm Am E Am
I want to see emotions coloring the sky
Dm Am E [hold]
to the point it will make me wanna cry
.::Chorus::.
Dm Am E Am
And get me wicked up, shake it up, tangled up
Dm Am E Am
You could be breaking up, making up, tangled up
Dm Am E Am
You can’t be faking it, Making it from my love
Dm Am E Am
With all this tragedy, don’t get me tangled up
Dm Am E Am x2
.::Bridge::.
Am E Em Dm
Treating girls like a yo-yo is a no no of monumental kind
Am E
If playing with your string happens to be your thing
Em E
It’s easy to say to both, oh never mind
.::Chorus::.
Dm Am E Am
And get me wicked up, shake it up, tangled up
Dm Am E Am
You could be breaking up, making up, tangled up
Dm Am E Am
You can’t be faking it, Making it from my love
Dm Am E Am
With all this tragedy, don’t get me tangled up
