The Amps are an indie rock band from Dayton, Ohio, USA and were formed by Kim Deal in 1995 after The Breeders went on hiatus. They first began touring as "Tammy and the Amps" but it was later shortened to "The Amps."
Their album Pacer was released on Halloween of 1995. It is widely believed to consist mostly of songs intended for the follow-up album to the platinum Last Splash. Kim Deal originally intended to play all of the instruments herself

The Amps - Pacer (written by Kim Deal)
This is the first track of their album with the same name!
The lyrics are (as always :-)) one big guess...
VERSE:
|| C# | F# | C# | G# ||
|| C# | F# | C# | F# ||
|| C# | F# | C# | G# ||
|| C# | F# | C# | F# ||
BRIDGE:
|| F# | F# | C# | C# ||
|| F# | F# | G# | G# ||
|| G# ||
At the end of the verse and during the bridge the F# is played higer. Strum downward using powerchords (you can switch between power and 'normal' chords, if you want)...
Like this: | | || | | | || | | | || | | | || | v v VV v v v VV v
1 2! 3 4!
The lyrics... (sort of): =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Now I lie take it back I want to go to the other side Just to think you were just passing by Riding around Spend my eye Just to think you were just passing by
We were high to high Reason why You broke a case Just to Just to've kid never learned to ride(?)
Now I ride take it back I ride to go to the other side Just to think you were just passing by
We were High to high Reason why You broke a case(?) Just to Just to've kid never learned to ride(?)
Now my wheels are off the ground They keep spinning round Just to think you were just passing by Now my life take it back Go to the other side Just to think you were just passing by
