MGMT is my favourite band and I knew as soon as LDA dropped that my band and I had to cover this.
Figured I'd share with all y'all :) Enjoy!
[Verse 1]
F#m6 C#7 F#m
Breathing in the dark, lying on its side
F#m6 C#7 F#m
The ruins of the day painted with a scar
F#m6 C#7 F#m
And the more I straighten out, the less it wants to try
F#m6 C#7 F#m
The feelings start to rot, one wink at a time, oh
[Chorus 1]
Bm C#m A D C#m Bm
Forgiving who you are for what you stand to gain
C#m A D C#m Bm
Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
C#m A D Bm
When you get out of bed don't end up stranded
C# C#7
Horrified with each stone, on the stage my little dark age
F#m
x4 (until verse comes back in)
[Verse 2]
F#m6 C#7 F#m
Picking through the cards, knowing what's nearby
F#m6 C#7 F#m
The carvings on the face say they find it hard
F#m6 C#7 F#m
And the engine's failed again, all limits of disguise
F#m6 C#7 F#m
The humor's not the same coming from denial, oh
[Chorus 2]
Bm C#m A D C#m Bm
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
C#m A D C#m Bm
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
C#m A D Bm
If you get out of bed and find me standing
C# C#7
All alone, open-eyed, burn the page my little dark age
[Instrumental]
F#m C#m7 B7 Bdim F#m C#7 F#m C#7 x2
[Chorus 3]
Bm C#m A D C#m Bm
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
C#m A D C#m Bm
You know that if it hides, it doesn't go away
C#m A D Bm
If I get out of bed You'll see me standing
C# C#7
all alone, Horrified, On the stage My little dark age
F#m
x4 (until bridge comes in)
[Bridge]
F#m6 C#7
Giddy with delight
F#m
Seeing what's to come
F#m6 C#7
The image of the dead
F#m
Dead ends in my mind
[Chorus 4]
Bm C#m A D C#m Bm
Policemen swear to god love's seeping from the guns
C#m A D C#m Bm
I know my friends and I would probably turn and run
C#m A D Bm
If you get out of bed, come find us heading
C# C#7
For the bridge, bring a stone, all the rage my little dark age
[Chorus 3]
Bm C#m A D C#m Bm
I grieve in stereo, the stereo sounds strange
C#m A D C#m Bm
I know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
C#m A D Bm
If you get out of bed and find me standing
C# C#7
All alone, open-eyed, burn the page my little dark age
