Everything Wrong With A-ha - "Take On Me" chords
Start Jamming...
[A] [C#m] [F#m]
[N] We're gonna save so much money on this video by drawing the whole thing.
A labeled funnel is a helpful funnel.
I'm getting a speed racer feeling here, only shhtick.
Each of the band members got to draw one of these four panels, and the drummer is a toddler.
Also it's gonna be extremely difficult for the play-by-play man to call this race with
only one racer actually having his number on his bike.
Starting gun guy holds his position long after firing the pistol, because it's a cool pose.
And let's be honest, it's the only thing this guy really has to call his own.
Tires!
Wheels!
Rubber!
Excitement!
This racer is wearing the kind of boots carpenters and contractors wear, not racing shoes.
Dude, we just saw that this race is approaching speeds of 140 miles per hour, or [G] kilometer
per hour, but still, you should maybe think about taking advantage of those goggles on your helmet.
Might keep the bugs out of your eyes.
So many faces going by so fast, I can't figure out who's who, let alone who I'm [E] supposed
to be rooting for.
And if you're gonna take the first minute or so of your music video to show a cartoon
motorcycle race, shouldn't it matter somehow?
What woman, strike that, what sane person reads a black and white comic book about motorcycle
races while in diners?
[C#m] Giant milk product placement on the left of the screen, giant breasts on the right.
Also, this diner delivers your coffee pre-creamed.
Also, [F#] what's in this bowl?
Sugar?
Is that the kind of thing you just leave in an uncovered [C#m] bowl on the table?
Diner's privacy curtain provides no privacy.
Diner coffee does crazy [E] things to your menstrual cycle and your perception of reality.
Creepy uncle can't restrain himself even during lunch hour.
Also, the adjusted health inspection score of this place registers in the low 60s.
None of the other diners notice this sh**, and don't give me that it's a fantasy crap,
either.
[B] I'll go with you anywhere, disembodied black and white [Fm] hand.
Man, this chick must be desperate, right?
I mean, [F] she's absolutely jumping at the first chance she gets to go live [G#] inside a racing
comic book just because the dude winked at her.
Maybe the coffee isn't the only thing in this place that's pre-creamed.
This is [C#m] actually a pretty huge risk he's taking here.
I mean, she fell in love with a comic [E] version of him.
[F#m] She's never seen his human form.
What if she's not as attracted to him as a human as she was to the comic?
Wait, what?
What is this place?
We're inside a comic book, but then there's this magic window thing that makes people look real.
Is this where comic book characters go when they need to scare babies?
Also, I don't know about you [E] guys, but I obviously missed the take mushrooms beforehand
memo on this video.
I have no f***ing clue what's going on.
Oh, snap, the drummer's here, too?
You brought him on the date?
I'm surprised you're even still associating with him after that half-assed cartoon panel
he drew earlier in the video.
Now wait, why is she real on the other side of the thing now?
Don't you have to walk where the lead singer is right now in order to look real?
Video now [G] just has an effect it [E] wants to show off and destroy the entire meaning.
Wait a minute, there is no meaning.
Frankenstein is better at pantomiming piano lessons than [G#m] this asshole, who presumably
made [E] a living playing the piano.
Stiffed again.
She'll probably find a way to blame it on the black people.
Also, Waitress gets pissed off at imaginary Dine and Dash, even though it's clear that
this customer has merely jumped into the comic book.
Even though the diner waitress crumples this comic book and throws it away, this somehow
does not cause an earthquake or gravitational anomaly inside of it.
Wrench Guy is pissed about something we'll never understand and straight up tries to
murder Morton Harkett.
Also, what's the opposite of Deus Ex Machina?
Like when a previously unknown bad guy shows up for no reason just to fuck with the plot
[A] and complicate things?
Cause that's [N] what's going on here.
This romantic comedy turned into a chase movie awfully fast.
Bad guys come around the corner and stop for no reason other than to stare and walk slowly
at the people they're chasing.
This hole he ripped in the wall leads back to the real world, instead of a previous panel
of the racing comic, as it should.
Out of control upskirt fetish in this town rears its [E] ugly head in the diner.
Now she really [A] has dine and dashed, and it was so easy to run from behind the counter
around all the gawkers out into the street.
[E] This mask.
[B] Wait, did the comic rewrite itself based on her actions [F#m] with the dude while inside?
That's amazing.
[E] I'm not even mad.
How'd that happen?
Wait just a damn minute.
When she came out of the comic, the paper's location and time and space was important
because she fell out right near the wastebasket, where the wadded up comic book was.
But now that he's trying to get out where the actual comic paper sits has no [F#m] bearing
whatsoever on his entry point into the world.
[Em] Man beats [A] himself in attempt to please girl.
Oh man, I'm so tired from being a cartoon.
Also [E] what's to stop the bad guy dudes from following you out of the comic?
They saw both you and the girl do it.
I don't think you're out of the woods just yet kids, but whatever.
Um, can you go [A] back to your cartoon form?
Just [N] for tonight?
My subscription to AHA magazine ran out in 1997.
I should probably renew it, but you can get so much of their biting commentary on politics online nowadays.
Also, win a holiday?
I'd like to own Labor Day.
It would match the rug.
