Tuning: Standard No capo
'No Matter What You're Told' is a song from Broken Bells new album called 'After The Disco'. I couldn't find any lyrics online so I had to listen carefully and try to write the lyrics down. I can't really hear what James Mercer is singing at some parts in the song so the lyrics aren't a 100 percent correct. I did my best anyway. Feel free to comment and rate!
Intro: Em - D - Em - G Em - D - Am - C (x2)
Verse 1: EmD You're falling way behind EmG well give it just a little bit of time EmD 'cause when we're all exposed AmC do you wanna be the first in line?
EmDEmG Those bewitching crowds, the smoke they blow can make your head pop EmDAmC the ego is playing its tricks on you again, and again
Chorus: GD We'll blow all our chances thinking GEmG we know all the answers and so it goes D with all the changes, nothing changes D no matter what you're told
Em - D - Em - G Em - D - Am - C
Verse 2: EmD So you're picking up signs EmG you're scared you might be losing your mind EmD and all the hopes of any shot you've got AmC are leaving you behind
EmDEmG You're making light of this I know and it's a shame EmDAmC that your silly sentimental heart is to blame
Chorus: GD We'll blow all our chances thinking GEmG we know all the answers and so it goes D with all the changes, nothing changes D no matter what you're told
Em - D - Em - G Em - D - Am - C

Bridge: GD You don't want to end up in the lost and found Em you better hold on tight GD odds will turn to events when you're upside down Em you've got to hold on tight GD I don't wanna be there when you hit the ground Em you need to hold on tight
Chorus: GD We'll blow all our chances thinking GEmG we know all the answers and so it goes D with all the changes, nothing changes D no matter what you're told
