Parking Lot by Sara Bareilles
Standard Tuning, No Capo
Writing the chords out to the lyrics doesn't really work with this one, but the progression
is pretty well the same as the intro throughout (I tried anyway).
You'll likely have to give the song a listen to figure it out. Just focus on the piano in the background.
[Intro]
G5 F#5 Em
Em C G G/B C
Ooh Oh Oh Oh Ooh Wuh-Uh Oh
G C G5 F#5 Em
Ooh Oh Oh Oh Ooh Wuh-Uh Oh
[Verse 1]
Em C
It's a feeling
G G/B
My hands and feet held to the floor
C
Like I'm kneeling
G C
Crawl straight to
G5 F#5 Em
What fate sent through
Em C G G/B
Holding down the only solid ground
C G C G5 F#5 Em Em
I could find cause I don't want to try the other kind
C G G/B C
I don't have it yet a good sense of knowing when
G C G5 F#5 Em
What I do should be immediate
Em C G G/B C
But all this waiting for a sign from the other side
G C
For fuck's sake this is
G5 F#5 Em Em C G G/B
Just a timeline
C G C G5 F#5 Em
Just a timeline
[Verse 2]
Em C G G/B C
Yeah Sara stop it pick out your paralysis and unlock it
G C G5 F#5 Em
And flex the fear till it builds you a rocket
Em C
And rise and if you fall
G G/B C G C
At least you end up between where you will be
G5 F#5 Em Em C G G/B
And where you will have been
C G C G5 F#5
Yeah
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 C Cadd2 Bm/F# G
I can't keep paying for the same spot in the parking lot
G
Can't stay here no not anymore
G
Can't stay here no not anymore
Cmaj7 C Cadd2 Bm/F# G
Oh I just keep paying for the same spot in the parking lot
G
Can't stay here no not anymore
G
Can't stay here no not anymore
[Break]
Em C G G/B C
Ooh Oh Oh Oh Ooh Wuh-Uh Oh
G C G5 F#5 Em
Ooh Oh Oh Oh Ooh Wuh-Uh Oh
[Verse 3]
Em C
Wish I was lying
G G/B C
My worry circles my brain like it's dying
G C G5 F#5 Em
And that redhead vulture is well fed
Em C G G/B C
But what that mutiny used to be is no use to me now
G C G5 F#5 Em Em C
Tell me how it all turns out
G G/B C G C G5 F#5
Cause I'm not sticking around
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 C Cadd2 Bm/F# G
I can't keep paying for the same spot in the parking lot
G
Can't stay here no not anymore
G
Can't stay here no not anymore
Cmaj7 C Cadd2 Bm/F# G
Oh I just keep paying for the same spot in the parking lot
G
Can't stay here no not anymore
G
Can't stay here no not anymore
[Break]
Em C G G/B C
Ooh Oh Oh Oh Ooh Wuh-Uh Oh
G C G5 F#5 Em
Ooh Oh Oh Oh Ooh Wuh-Uh Oh
[Bridge]
C
Can't breathe in the parking lot
C
Give me divine dissatisfaction
C
Give me the heart unsettled soul
C
Give me emotion into action
C
Cause I can't take this
[Outro]
Em C
