[G]
[Bm]
[Bb]
[F]
I've always been [Em] a strange writer.
[Am]
See, when [Em] everybody else was listening to the [F] Everly Brothers or [D] [Em] Elvis,
I was listening [C] to Chet Baker and Jerry Mulligan and Dave Brubeck.
That's where [Em] I really sort of [Bb] went right down the rabbit hole.
[Gm] I have always [Am] written weird [C] shit.
Deja Vu, Guinevere, tracks, dancers.
To [Am]
[C] me, the kinds [E] of changes [B] that were planned [G] in this record,
the way this record is [Bb] structured, is as natural as could be.
[F] It's exactly where I want to go.
[Bm]
He's [G] pushing the boundaries in the way [C] he writes.
I [Dm] don't think anybody's writing like that.
[G] I [Gm] like writing with other people.
[A] I like writing by myself.
I like writing, [Dm] period.
But I love the [G] interaction that took place [Gm] between [A] particularly James and [Eb] Marcus and I.
[A]
[D] Really [F] rich, really [Eb] fruitful, really [F] [D] exciting.
[G]
[Eb] We [Am] started [D] writing these songs.
[Eb] [A]
[D] And [C]
[A] the more we got into it, the better the songs got.
I [Bb]
[Am] [D]
[G]
[Eb] [A] [D]
[F] [Eb] [F]
[D] can remember [G] being [Gm] there, Marcus and [F] James and [D] I writing
[Eb] Find a Heart [D]
in one [C] afternoon,
just [G] [A]
[D] sitting there being crazy.
[Bbm]
[B] [C] [D]
[Ab] [D] [Bb] Yeah, you can almost think of it [F] [Bb] [A] like
[D] [Ab] [G]
[Bb] [A]
[F] [C]
[Eb] [A] The [Am] energy, kind of the forward [Bb] propulsion of [Db] the song,
[Ab] you know, [Dm] being birthed right in front of you.
[Ab] It's kind of rare, [Gb] so that was cool.
[E]
[Gm] [D] [Ab]
Crosby [D] was on the couch just really listening intently, loving it,
and then he's just, okay, okay, I've got an [Am] idea.
And then he just penned it out.
[Bm] Make [G] it burn like a [Bb] rotting skin
[A]
Make it old, [D] make it green
[Em] Make it breathe, [Eb] make it sweat
[Am]
Pull the deep back [D] to the end
[Eb] [Am]
At the very [Eb] end of that, we just did these [D] killer vocal stacks.
[Dm] And it was a part that James came up with on [D] the keys.
[D] [G]
[Eb] [F] [D]
[F] [Eb] [Am]
[D] Once [Ab] we [Gm] started recording [Am] some of it,
[D] we found out that [C]
[Eb] Marcus has this [A] eerie ability to sound [G] [Eb] exactly like me,
[F] right [D] above me, [G] which meant that we could do [A] stacks that [Em] sound pretty scary.
I [D] love playing guitar, and I have to say,
singing on this with Crosby, who's a complete legend
when it comes to harmony and vocal harmony, that was awesome.
[C] Reach down and reach your [G] hand into [D] the water
[C] Look [D]
out, [C] look back
You've [G] lost someone out [D] of the sea
See, that's not parallel.
James and Marcus hear what I'm trying to do,
and they know what I would like, and they can go there.
[G] [Eb]
[Bb] [A] [Ab]
[G] [Bb] [Db] [D]
[Ab] [G] [Eb] [Bb] [A]
[D] [Ab] [Eb]
[F] [Dm] [D] And the result has [Eb] been that we've [Am] written shit [D] that just [G] completely [Eb] smokes me.
[A]
[Eb]
Oh, that [Am] I've seen your face
