The Prize

Semisonic

 DAm
                One thousand friends said have you heard
 GD
                What we expected
 D
                We are all working late and
 DAm
                Waiting to win a prize that we dont deserve
 GD
                And live to collect it

Chorus: F#m G
Cant you see Im weary
 EmCD
                Maybe this news can wait
Verse2:
Night of a thousand verses
One thousand strivers strain to hear
The voice thats left us
Magazines still have to sell us
Twelve master geniuses a year
Its all so shameless

Chorus: Repeat 2x, second time "Worried" not "Weary"
Bridge: B C G
Maybe there was a message in it
 Em
                (I dont know where you hid it)
 BCG
                Maybe there was a (P stamp) with it    
 Em
                (I dont know where to fit it)
 BCG
                Tell me what kind of prize can you get  
 Em
                (When you dont want to win it)

Then back to D for a few bars.
Then once through verse and chorus, with no words, and
with distorted guitar on top.

Then back to bridge exactly as above
Then chorus 2x.

When strumming on D, there is a little riff that is
D/E/F#/F#/G/F# (notes, not chords). If you're playing
D in the second fret, you can try to pick it while
holding the chord, like this:

E---2------0---2---2---4h--2p
B---3---3--------------------
G---1------------------------
D----------------------------
A----------------------------
E----------------------------


Try to keep the G and B strings from getting muted so
the chord continues to sound. You may find easier
places to play up the neck if you're on an electric.
