My first attempt at writing out some chords! The song is easiest if thought of in 6 8 time. Just think of usually playing the chords on counts 1,2,3,4, and for the muted strumming to be on counts 5 and 6. Note, the chords don't line up over the proper words, something is screwing up with the font, so just figure out the harmonic rhythm. Intro: There are tiers, as in levels, to reality On the industrial corner of North 17th Street and Wythe Two black public high school kids watch a nordic model get photographed To them, she is lunar, impossible, alien life. So as a comet might relate to a traffic-stop taxi cab Or a Bahamas vacation to a stint in Guantanamo Bay So as access and privilege relate to their absolute opposites It's the way that these kids and this woman will always relate And it's nobody's fault. Yeah no one's to blame. We all work through the dark. We all carry the weight. Slender shoulders and blindfolds spinning in cycles Now, now, now: navigate! There are tiers, as in layers, to an experience. Through each lens and metric the image warps every day. I'm either successful, independent, and largely uncompromised Or a non-starter, never-was, has-been since 2008. And it's nobody's fault. Yeah no one's to blame. We all work through the dark. We all carry the weight. Slender shoulders and blindfolds spinning in cycles Now, now, now: navigate! Instrumental:
