<< Back to Phoebe Bridgers Song List
Version 1 Version 2 Version 3
I made this tab for those who want to play in standard tuning but still have it be accurate to Phoebe's
chord progressions. The chord progression is adapted from pkamat007's version, but transcribed into standard
tuning (since the UG transposition feature does not work for such complex chords).
Capo fret 1 (chord names and fingerings relative to capo)
Use thumb for low E string for bass notes throughout

[Intro]
C/G Cadd9/F C/E C/F Cmaj7/F C/F Cmaj7/F
[Verse 1]
C/G
Somewhere in Germany, but I can't place it
Cadd9/F
Man, I hate this part of Texas
C/E
Close my eyes, fantasize
C/F Cmaj7/F
Three clicks and I'm home
C/G
When I get back I'll lay around
Cadd9/F
Then I'll get up and lay back down
C/E
Romanticize a quiet life
C/F Cmaj7/F C/F Cmaj7/F
There's no place like my room
[Chorus 1]
Am7
But you gotta go
C* Fadd9
I know, I know, I know
Am7 C* Fadd9
Like a wave that crashed and melted on the shore
Am7 Gadd11 Fadd9
Not even the burnouts are out here anymore
D9sus
And you had to go
Cmaj7/E C/F Cmaj7/F C/F Cmaj7/F
I know, I know, I know
[Verse 2]
C/G
Out in the park we watch the sunset
Cadd9/F
Talking on a rusty swing set
C/E C/F Cmaj7/F
After a while you went quiet and I got mean
C/G
Always pushing you away from me
Cadd9/F
But you comeback with gravity
C/E C/F
And when I call you come home
Cmaj7/F C/F Cmaj7/F
A bird in your teeth
[Chorus 2]
Am7
So I gotta go
C* Fadd9
I know, I know, I know
Am7 C* Fadd9
When the sirens sound you'll hide under the floor
Am7 Gadd11 Fadd9 C/F
But I'm not gonna go down with my hometown in a tornado
C
I'm gonna chase it
C/E Fmaj9
I know, I know, I know
C
I gotta go now
C/E C/F Cmaj7/F C/F Cmaj7/F
I know, I know, I know
[Outro]
Dm11 Fsus2 C5 Gadd11* Gmaj11
Dm11 Fsus2 C5 Gadd11* Gmaj11
Dm11 Fsus2 C5
Driving out into the sun
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11
Let the ultraviolet cover me up
Fsus2 C5
Went looking for a creation myth
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11
Ended up with a pair of cracked lips
Fsus2 C5
Windows down, scream along
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11
To some America first rap country song
Fsus2 C5
A slaughterhouse, an outlet mall
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11
Slot machines, fear of God
Fsus2 C5
Windows down, heater on
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11
Big bolts of lightning hanging low
Fsus2 C5
Over the coast, everyone's convinced
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11
It's a government drone or alien spaceship
Fsus2 C5
Either way, we're not alone
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11
I'll find a new place to be from
Fsus2 C5
A haunted house with a picket fence
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11
To float around and ghost my friends
Fsus2 C5
No, I'm not afraid to disappear
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11
The billboard said the end is near
Fsus2 C5
I turned around, there was nothing there
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11 Fsus2 C5
Yeah, I guess the end is here
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11 Fsus2 C5
Yeah, I guess the end is here
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11 Fsus2 C5
I guess the end is here
Gadd11* Gmaj11 Dm11 Fsus2 C5 Gadd11*
Yeah, I guess the end is here
