| Go back to those gold soundz |
| B | D | |
| And keep my | affect to your | self |
| A | |
| Because it's | nothing that I don't like |
| B | D | |
| Is it a | crisis or a boring | change |
| A | |
| When it's | central, so essential |
| B | D | |
| It has a | nice ring when you | laugh |
| A | |
| At the | low-life opinions |
| B | D | |
| And they're | coming to the chorus | now |
| F#m | Dsus2 | |
| I keep my | address to yours | elf |
| Bsus2 | |
| Cause we need | secrets |
| Dsus2 | |
| We need | secret, cret, cret, cret, crets |
| A | |
| Back right | now |
| Because I never want to make you feel |
| That you're social, never ignorant soul |
| Believe in what you want to do |
| And do you think that is a major flaw |
| When they rise up in the falling rain |
| And if you stay around with your knuckles ground down |
| The trials over, the weapon's found |
| Keep my address to myself |
| Cause it's secret |
| Cause it's secret, cret, |
| cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret, |
| Back right now |
| So drunk in the august sun |
| And you're the kind of girl I like |
| Because you're empty, and I'm empty |
| And you can never quarantine the past |
| Did you remember in December |
| That I won't eat you when I'm gone |
| And if I go there ,I won't stay there |
| Because I'm sitting here too long |
| I've been sitting here too long |
| And I've been wasting |
| Allocating outward |
| For the last word |
| Last words come up |
| All you've got to wait |

| Now for some "Pavement chords". First retune your guitar to |
| C-G-D-G-B-B (fat E string down 4 frets in pitch, A string down 2 frets |
| in pitch, thin E sting down 5 frets in pitch). Once you've retuned |
| these are the chord shapes: |
| A(I) A(II) B(I) B(II) Bsus2 D(I) D(II) Dsus2 |
| F#m |
B-|------------------------------------------------------------------------ B-|--2-------10--------4-------12-----4--------7-----15------7-------10---- G-|--2--------9--------4-------11-----6--------7-----14------9-------11---- D-|--2-------11--------4-------13-----4--------7-----16------7-------11---- G-|--2--------9--------4-------11-----4--------7-----14------7-------11---- C-|-----------9----------------11--------------------14--------------------
| The (I) or (II) just indicates position, e.g. A(I) is an A major, |
| played in the first position (along the guitar neck), while A(II) is |
| also A major but played in the second position. |
| Note that the first string is not played in any of the above chords. |
| Since the first and second strings are tuned the same, if you want, |
| you can fret the first string the same as the second and play it. |
| >From listening to the recording, I think the two guitars play as |
| follows: |
| verses: |
| guitar 1: A(I) - B(I) - D(I) |
| guitar 2: A(II) - A(II) - A(II) |
| Here guitar 2 is playing the A(II) the whole time. Listen for those |
| high notes on the record, especially during the first verse when |
| guitar 1 is quit. |
| chorus: |
| both: F#m - Dsus2 - Bsus2 - Dsus2 |
| intrumental interlude (roughly): |
| guitar 1: A(I) - B(I) - D(I) |
| guitar 2: A(II) - B(II) - D(II) |
| The interlude is pretty free form so this simple pattern isn't the |
| whole story, but you can play around with these chords and find a lot |
| of the sounds on the record. |
