Chords for Kathleen Edwards - The Making of 'Voyageur'

_ _ _ _ _ The amount of bullshit in this room makes me just want to go to the bathroom.
So if you're answering and I go like this, just stop talking and let me interject in something that you're saying.
Because if you get something wrong, like the timeline on something wrong, I just want to correct you.
Oh yeah.
_ _ _ _ For the record, I _ was in the van before Gord, after Gord, and before Gord again.
It'll turn into a police interview. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Wake up, wake up, wake up, I want to take you _ to _ _ _ _ all the places I thought we could.
_ _ _ _ [G] I was feeling so lost [C] for so long.
[G] I was feeling so lost for so long.
I didn't know what to do.
_ _ _ What I've done in the past, it is what it is.
I don't regret it or I'm not embarrassed by it.
But I kind of got to a point where I needed something to be different this time.
I knew from the beginning that I wanted to do a departure for me without not sounding like me.
So my next record would be a clean slate of sounds and not being precious about trying stuff.
We [D] didn't know what to do.
_ _ [C] _ You and I will [G] be _ [C] sunflowers.
_ Chase down [G] all the hard stuff with [C] me.
There to chase down [Bm] the [C] hard.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And there's like, [Em] there are neighbors on the other side of this wall, and I'm imagining that they've been listening to my pieces of segments of songs, constructing together for [B] months, and they're pissed.
_ [F#] And tired of wondering what the hell I'm working on up here all the time.
Were you walking in the venue today?
[C] Or was that with you?
I was with [G] you and the guy was like, oh man, [F]
Failure, love that record man, [G] just love that record.
And you're like, [F#] it's really flattering, [Gm] you know?
At the same time you're like, yeah man, I put that record out ten years ago and been doing [D#] stuff since.
You don't have any control over what part of your stuff people are going to get really attracted to.
You may [Gm] think you've come so far since you [F#] kind of [Cm] whatever hammered out that record or kind [Gm] of your first record, a lot of those songs you wrote when you were a [F] teenager.
_ But [Cm] that's what people love, [E] you know?
And it's like, that's [D#] the great thing about art.
You put it out there and you don't know what's going to happen once it goes [Gm] out there.
That [G] relationship is just going to be what it [B] is.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [B] I think the biggest thing that happened with this record is, _ she was very fearless.
And when [E] things weren't going right, [A#] many people would just be like, oh my God, [C#] I have all this music [G#m] recorded.
Well, I might as well finish it.
What Kathleen [C#] did with this record is we got a whole bunch of stuff done [C#m] and she just kept [B]
re [F#]-visioning and re-visioning and re-visioning until it was what [B] she felt it should be.
And it even changed with how her feelings changed over the course of months. _
[E] Not the way that I wish [B] you would, maybe I don't look at you.
_ The music comes [E] across in a real [F#] positive, arcing sort of [G#m] shape.
And I think that the lyrics, while some of them deal [F#] with some very difficult [B] personal subject [F#] matter, they really [C#m] feel like somebody that's [G#m] just worked [F#] hard on what they're trying to do.
And it sounds like a [B] cohesive vision.
I _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ spent many, many years just listening to her [B] records.
I would have thoughts of like, oh man, it would be cool to work with this person one day.
But [Em] never in my [G] wildest dreams did I think that I'd be working on a [D] record with her. _ _
_ _ You [D#] see the whole [B] rest of the record vis-a-vis the perspective of the singer [D] of Change of Sheets. _
_ _ [D#] And Gordon, Jim's guitar [D] work on it is just unreal.
_ And then [Bm] with her experience, kind [B] of co-producing it with me, I think we sort of met in the middle and made this really kind of [G] fiery record.
_ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [D] Change of Sheets, now [G]
change me.
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ When someone suggested like, this guy would [D] be really interested in producing a record for you, [A] _ I wasn't really [G] sure how _ he would produce a record for me.
[D] Because I didn't really see where we met [A] musically.
Which [G] was totally my bad, because [D] that's the whole point, is I need somebody to come and fuck [A] my shit up.
[D]
You need somebody who's going to take [G] ideas and throw them at [D] you, _ but not [A] make you feel like it suddenly isn't your project [G] anymore.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
Change [D] this feeling under [G]
my feet.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ [D] So it really helps to have somebody [G] respect that, but also [E] celebrate the possibilities.
[Bm] _
_ _ [A] That's what working with Justin was.
[G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ Suddenly I was _ hearing things about my music that were different than I'd [F] ever done. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [N] Sit still.
I actually can't, I'm sorry.
I'm _ super_
that's just the way I am, but anyway. _
_ _ _ _ I know how to solve that for when it's my questions. _ _ _ _
Can you hold _ my breath? _ _
This is the magic.
That slows my heart rate.
_ _ I'm like a sniper.
_ You're stealth.
That's why you're wearing those toad _ shoes.
_ Sneaking around shoes.
Activity. _ _ _ _ _
