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!
So I was just casually playing this song and I suddenly realized that Lorde used the same EXACT chord
progression as I Dreamed a Dream from Les Miz and I was a bit #shook about it. Anyway...
Another thing I discovered is that none of the tabs quite do justice to the song... so yeah.
Lemme explain it a bit for ya tho: while the chords are playing, the bass notes do some kind of scale downward
throughout the verse, until the A kicks in and she basically plays A, B, C# and E upward.
So, while the rest of the song plays the chords, the bass notes do: D, C#, B, A, G, F# and E downward -- then
A, B, C# and E upward, and then you go back to the D. It's the same throughout the whole song.
It looks quite difficult but it isn't, I swear. You just need to get into the mindset. At least, on piano and
uke (my instruments) it doesn't, maybe it will on guitar.
For any of you who might be wondering: yes, Bm7 and D6 are the same notes (arranged differently, but the same
notes). No it's not the same thing (kinda why the bass notes are different).
[Intro]
D5 / F#m/C# / Bm7 / A5
G / Bm/F# / G6/E
[Verse]
A A/B A/C# A/E D
Baby really hurt me
F#m/C#
Crying in the taxi
Bm7
He don't wanna know me
D6/A G Bm/F#
Says he made the big mistake of dancing in my storm
G6/E
Says it was poison
A A/B A/C# A/E D
So I guess I'll go home
F#m/C# Bm7
Into the arms of the girl that I love
D6/A G
The only love I haven't screwed up
Bm/F#
She's so hard to please
G6/E
But she's a forest fire
A A/B A/C# A/E D
I do my best to meet her demands
F#m/C# Bm7
Play at romance, we slow dance
D6/A G
In the living room, but all that a stranger would see
Bm/F# G6/E
Is one girl swaying alone
A A/B A/C# A/E
Stroking her cheek
[Chorus]
D F#m/C# Bm7
They say, "You're a little much for me
D6/A G
You're a liability
Bm/F# G6/E
You're a little much for me"
A/B A/C# A/E D F#m/C#
So they pull back, make other plans
Bm7 D6/A G
I understand, I'm a liability
Bm/F# G6/E
Get you wild, make you leave
A A/B A/C# A/E
I'm a little much for
Bm A G
E-a-na-na-na, everyone
[Verse]
D5 F#m/C# Bm7
The truth is I am a toy that people enjoy
D6/A G Bm/F#
'Til all of the tricks don't work anymore
G6/E
And then they are bored of me
A A/B A/C# A/E D
I know that it's exciting
F#m/C#
Running through the night, but
Bm7
Every perfect summer's
D6/A G
Eating me alive until you're gone
Bm/F# G6/E A A/B A/C# A/E
Better on my own
[Chorus]
D F#m/C# Bm7
They say, "You're a little much for me
D6/A G
You're a liability
Bm/F# G6/E
You're a little much for me"
A/B A/C# A/E D F#m/C#
So they pull back, make other plans
Bm7 D6/A G
I understand, I'm a liability
Bm/F# G6/E
Get you wild, make you leave
A A/B A/C# A/E
I'm a little much for
Bm A G
E-a-na-na-na, everyone
[Outro]
Bm
They're gonna watch me
A G
Disappear into the sun
Bm
You're all gonna watch me
A5 G
Disappear into the sun
