Lou Reed - Tatters Chords

[Intro]
A
 
 
[Verse 1]
     Aadd9           C#m   C#m7
Some couples live in harmony,
C#m     F#m/A  A F#m/A
Some do not,
A         Aadd9       C#m   C#m7  C#m
Some couples yell and scream,
F#m/A        F#m/A
Some do not.
 
 
[Verse 2]
    Bm                C#m
But what you said was something,
     C#m7  C#m      D
That I     can't forget,
   Bm                C#m
It echoes in my head,
              D
Like a bullet made of lead.
 
 
[Verse 3]
A    Aadd9           C#m   C#m7
Some people yell and scream,
C#m         F#m/A   F#m/A
And some do not,
A                Aadd9      C#m   C#m7  C#m
Some people sacrifice their lives,
            F#m/A
And some do not.
 
 
[Verse 4]
Bm                   C#m7
Some people wait for sleep,
             D
To take them away,
      Bm                       C#m7
While others read books endlessly,
                     D
Hoping problems will go away.
 
 
[Verse 5]
A Aadd9  C#m                C#m7 C#m
       I know you're hoping everything,
      F#m/A  F#m/A
Works out,
A Aadd9          C#m  C#m7 C#m
  Neither one of us is,
    F#m/A           F#m/A
The type who shouts.
 
 
[Verse 6]
Bm                   C#m7
You sleep in the bedroom,
                    D
While I pace up and down the hall,
    Bm7
Our baby stares at both of us,
C#m7                         D  Dmaj7 D
Wondering which one of us to call.
 
 
[Verse 7]
A                      Aadd9
I guess it's true that not,
C#m   C#m7  C#m   F#m/A  F#m/A F#m
Every match burns bright,
  A               Aadd9
I guess it's true,
A       C#m    C#m7 C#m  F#m/A  F#m
Not all that I say  is   right.
 
 
[Verse 8]
Bm
But what you said still bounces,
 C#m7        D
Around in my head,
Bm7     C#m7
    Who thought this could happen to us,
        D     Dmaj7   D  Dmaj7
When we first went to bed.
 
 
[Verse 9]
A      Aadd9       C#m7
   I'm told in the end,
C#m  C#m7  C#m  C#m7  F#m/A  F#m/A
That none  of  this   matters,
    A            Aadd9   C#m7    C#m
All couples have troubles,
C#m C#m7    C#m  F#m/A  F#m
And none of this matters.
 
 
[Verse 10]
    Bm7
But what you said,
      C#m7      C#m  D
Still echoes in my   head,
    Bm7
And I'm still in the hallway,
C#m7       D                      Dmaj7 D
Downstairs sleeping alone instead.
 
 
[Verse 11]
A   Aadd9   C#m7           C#m
          I know you don't care,
   C#m7    C#m     F#m/A  F#m/A
But here's my last thought,
            A       Aadd9
Not that it matters,
    A          C#m  C#m7  C#m  F#m/A  F#m
But here's the last thing I    thought.
 
 
[Verse 12]
Bm7                 C#m7
Our little thing is lying,
        D
Here in tatters,
Bm7        C#m7 C#m
And you my dear,
               D
Don't have any manners.
 
 
[Outro]
F#m/A   F#m
F#m
Sad to leave this way,
F#m F#m/A
To  leave it all in tatters,
F#m/A
F#m/A
Saddening to leave this way,
F#m
To leave it all in tatters,
F#m/A  F#m/A
     A    F#m/A            F#m/A A F#m/A
I suppose we all could say,
F#m/A                     F#m/A A F#m/A
That nothing of it matters,
F#m/A
A          F#m/A
Still it's sad,
A  F#m/A                     F#m/A A F#m/A
To see everything in tatters.
F#m/A
A F#m/A
F#m/A
A F#m/A
F#m/A
A F#m/A
F#m/A
A F#m/A
F#m/A
A F#m/A
