Enjoy playing this great upbeat song from Imogen's newest album, Sparks. Just take note of the changing
time signatures near the ending.
Key: A Minor
No capo
Intro: Dm G | Am |
F Em | Am |
Dm G | Am |
[VERSE]
Am
Sparks might fly, in no time
Am F
It’s a delayed reaction of the third kind (ooh)
G Am
I’m so ready for this
Am
Shrink-wrapped tones, I can face the music
F
Stop matters bonding us way beyond
G
Our best by-days
[CHORUS]
Dm G Am
You know we've had it good, we've had it bad
F Em Am
So no hard feelings
Dm G Am
We've done all we could and all again
F Em
I’m done pretending
G
Let’s quit while we’re still friends
Am
[VERSE]
Am
Making up stories that grew to be too tall,
Am F
My fortress to forget couldn't take anymore
G Am
You nearly watched me ruin everything, everything!
There’s a number one rule of don’t-do’s
Am
Well, we knew it all too well
F
You were supposed to be looking out for me!
G
Have you any idea how difficult it’s been?
[CHORUS]
Dm G Am
You know we've had it good, we've had it bad
F Em Am
So no hard feelings
Dm G Am
We've done all we could, and all again
F Em Am
Let’s save ourselves a sorry ending
Dm G Am
You know we've had it good, we've had it bad
F Em Am
But this is as far as we can stretch
Dm G Am
Let’s stop pretending, stop pretending
F Em G
And quit while we’re still friends
Am
[BRIDGE]
G F
Well I was so young, misguided maybe
Em Am
But still this hands over my every pen to paper
Em
And this all started with a song
F Dm
Ooh, let this be our last one.
(Drop, drop)
| Dm G | Am | F Em | Am | (x2)
[CHORUS]
Dm G Am
You know we've had it good, we've had it bad
F Em Am
But this is as far as we can stretch
Dm G Am
Let’s stop pretending!
F Em G Am
And quit while we’re still friends
[OUTRO]
Am
I wish you well
F G
I wish you well… (I wish you well, wish you well, wish you well)
F
Wish you well, I wish you well, I won’t tell if you won’t tell
G Dm
I won’t hold it against you if you bow out gracefully (gracefully)
Em
Can we just not drag this out, please?
F
I wish you well, I wish you well, I won’t tell if you won’t tell
G Dm
I won’t hold it against you if you bow out gracefully, (do it gracefully!)
Em
Can we just not drag this out?
F G Dm Em
Ohhhh Ohhhh Oooohh Oooohh
F G Dm Em (Fade out)
Ohhhh Ohhhh Oooohh Oooohh
