Ted Leo – As If I Could chords
Chords:
Here's a new song that Ted Leo performs. It's awesome. I love it. I think the lyrics are 98% right. Just not sure what he says in the second line, (dubious?) and few other lines might be iffy. Other than that, I think it's fairly accurate. Not sure what he does between the verses though. Maybe some variation of the D chord. The notes that he picks are e, d c#, b.-------------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|----2----0---------------|----------------4-----2--|-------------------------|D A BmI spent the morning with my vitamins and many black teasG F#m Em picking parte,d, c#, bcombatting the dubious induced hazeA Em F#m Embarely awake, already shaken by the misty newsfeedBmI ain't slept very well for daysG A D Bmfor all the schadenfreude of mocking stupid politiciansG F#m EmI should try to bring a better spirit to my dayA Em Bmalthough I can't believe our souls are at their basest, goodG A Bm Emi'd like to live as if I could (oh yea)G A Di'd like to live as if I couldD A BmYou try to offer something without asking much returnG F#m Em Picking partAt best even less than it is worthA Em F#m EmAnd watch it taken every day from every petty pickerBmMore than you can accumulate from birthG A D BmNo, you might never know how the work you've done affects your livingG F#m EmTrust in animus might just get you through the dayA Em BmAnd though I don't believe it's lucky when you knock on woodG A Bm EmI'd to live as if I could (oh yea)G A DI'd to live as if i could.Breakdown: D, A, Bm, G, Fm, Em, Pick, A, Em, Fm, Em, Bm, G, Fm, EmÂ…A Em BmAnd though I don't believe in God, and don't think that I shouldG A Bm Emi'd like to live as if I could (oh yea)G A Di'd like to live as if I could.
