Portastudio Chords

(ver. 1)
Roddy Frame
E  E7

[Verse]

A
In the approach of midlife

F#m                         D        A
I received a letter from an eloquent friend

A
Saying he was touched by my progress

F#m                              D     A
A kind of poem to the words that I’d penned

A              F#m                          D
My ego under attack I felt myself shrinking back

                                     A
From his embrace into a place that I know

A                F#m                           D
Felt relief in resentment couldn’t see what it meant

                                 A
The jealous echo of a hurt long ago



[Bridge]

Ddim* ( D )
I’m so vain

E*                     A*
Thought this song was about me

Ddim*                 ( D )
Now it’s gone down the drain

E*       A*
Turning against me

           G
Calling me names

    F#m      E    (silent)
And me, well I


[Chorus]

                    E7sus4       E7   A
I’m still screwing around with a portastudio

              E                  A/E
You’re in the rain, arguing with your girl-

Faug            D/F#
friend it’s the same

E           A
Rules and restraints

F#m           D
I strum and I scrawl

E            A/E        Faug       D/F#
Watching the paint stay wet on the walls

E           A
The mercury falls

    F#m          Bm
And everything’s changed

E           A
Nothing has changed

F#m         Bm
Nothing has changed

E            A
Everything's changed



[Verse]

A
I’m turning over a new page

F#m                         D           A
I’m taking stock of all the gifts I can see

A
I’m sorry if I have hurt you

F#m                           D          A
It’s been so hard to find the freedom in me

A                   F#m                          D
I’m dedicating this song to someone I know who's gone

                                    A
Cut all my records with a steadying hand

A                    F#m                         D
I’m talkin' 'bout Mr Blair up in his room in his chair

                                      A
Working some magic I still can’t understand



[Bridge]

Ddim*      ( D )
Is that all gone

E*                          A*
No autumn light through the window

Ddim*                 ( D )
No, man the cut's still on

E*                           A*
Between the tracks, hear the wind blow

               G
Two seconds of time

    F#m   E
And in we fade



[Chorus]

                    E7sus4       E7   A
I’m still screwing around with a portastudio

              E                       A/E
You’re in the rain, arguing with your girl-

Faug            D/F#
friend it's the same

E           A
Rules and restraints

F#m           D
I strum and I scrawl

E            A/E        Faug       D/F#
Watching the paint stay wet on the walls

    E       A
The mercury falls

    F#m           Bm
And everything’s changed

E            A
Nothing has changed

F#m          Bm
Nothing has changed

E             A
Everything's changed
