Paper Tongues – Get Higher chords
Chords:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper Tongues - Get Higher --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I broke this down to strum it on an acoustic, thus the actual song plays out a little differently. The progressions are the same, though, so it's pretty easy to fret out on an electric. This version is a little cleaner to play on your own---pretty simple. A (x02220) Asus4 (x02230) D (xx0232) E (022100) F#m (244222) The main riff is an Amaj with a pinky drop to the suspended fourth every now and again. It's pretty much the whole song...e|------0--0-0-----------0--0-0-----------------------|B|--2222222222223322-2222222222223322-----------------|G|--2222222222222222-2222222222222222-----------------|D|--2222-22-2-222222-2222-22-2-222222-----------------|A|--0----------------0--------------------------------|E|----------------------------------------------------|Alternately:e|----------------------------------------------------|B|----------------------------------------------------|G|--6666966969667766-6666966969667766-----------------|D|--7777777777777777-7777777777777777-----------------|A|--0----------------0--------------------------------|E|----------------------------------------------------|NOTE: The actual verses are almost entirely this A progression, but it lacks depth when you're playing it alone on the acoustic. I like to throw around the F#m when it feels natural, as below, and palm mute until the chorus:AWhen you step in the room they won't be holding me downF#mAll these demons in my head c'mon let's kill 'em with soundAYou see I'm beggin' that you take me and you never look backF#mThat's why I'm crying to a wall hoping that you come outAHey...I don't wanna wake up from thisF#mI cannot afford to forgetThe feeling of your arms, they hold meAThe power of your skin, it's lovelyYou provoke a man to bow downF#mI get on my knees and cry outE"Everything I have is yours now"DSo the time is nowEDon't let me downDOh the time is nowEPlease don't let me downChorus:A Asus4 F#mGet higher, and higher, and higherD AWhen my back's against the wallD AYou're the hand that breaks my fallAsus4 F#mClimb higher, and higher, and higherD AWhen my back's against the wallD AYou're the hand that breaks my fall***Lather, rinse, repeat -JVV
