  • Tuning: Standard
     
    Coming out of “When You Were Young” we are in F# for a moment with the synth,
  • Then it shifts up to Bm.
     
    First part- you’ll have to listen to the record to get the timing right. Flowers
  • plays this little fill on the keys that you can hear, for instance, right
    after the word “survival,” which is doubled by the electric guitar.

    “That you’re right”
     
  • (Strum) Bm A G
     
    That’s the intro
  •  
    Lyrics are:
     
  • When I offer you survival
    You say it’s hard enough to live
    It’s not so bad, It’s not so bad
  • How do you know that you’re right?
     
    From this point on there are two guitars in the mix, one acoustic and one electric,
  • With the acoustic playing the basic chords and the electric fiddling around with
    The same chords farther up the neck.
     
  • Chords are
     
    Bm
  • I work on the roadside
    G
    In the land of the free ride
  • E
    I can’t hold it any longer
    Bm
  • The sun is beating down my neck
     
    So I ran with the devil
  • Left a trail of excuses
    Like a stone on the water
    The elements decide my fate
  •  
    Pre-chorus:
    G A
  • Watch it go… (Bling)
     
    Chorus base chords are
  •  
    D F#m
    When I offer you survival
  • G
    You say it’s hard enough to live
    A F#m
  • Don’t tell me that it’s over
    G
    Stand up, poor and tired
  •  
    But more than this
    A F#m
  • How do you know that you’re right
    G
    If you’re not nervous anymore?
  • A F#m G
    It’s not so bad, it’s not so bad
     
  • Lead on the chorus is the fun part, played 4 times

    Back to verse:
  •  
    I feel my vision slipping out of focus
    But I’m pushing on for that horizon
  • I’m pushing on
    Now I’ve got that blowin’ wind against my face
     
  • So you sling rocks at the riptide
    Am I wrong or am I right?
    I hit the bottom with a hook- quite strange
  • I get my glory in the desert rain
    Watch it go.. (when I offer you survival) Bling
     
  • Chorus:
     
    When I offer you survival
  • You say it’s hard enough to live
    I’ll tell you when it’s over
    Shut up- poor and tired but
  • More than this
     
    How do you know that you’re right
  • If you’re not nervous anymore?
    It’s not so bad, it’s not so bad
     
  • Ending bit:
     
    D
  • Higher and higher, we’re gonna take it
     
    Down to the wire, we’re gonna make it
  • G A Bm F#m
    Out of the fire
    G A
  • Higher and higher
    D
    Higher and higher, we’re gonna take it
  •  
    Down to the wire, we’re gonna make it
    G A Bm F#m
  • Out of the fire
    G A
    Higher and higher
  • D
    Higher and higher, we’re gonna take it
    Gmaj7
  • Down to the wire, we’re gonna make it
    G A Bm F#m
    Out whoa oh oh
  • G A D
    Higher and Higher
     
  • Strum distorted D
     
    G A Bm
  • It ain’t hard to hold
    F#m G
    When it shines like gold
  • A D
    You’ll remember me
     
  • Finis.
