Ezra Furman And The Harpoons - Stakes Are High chords
Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Here is "The Stakes Are High" by Ezra Furman and the Harpoons. This is the bare bones version of it. Ezra throws in some stuff that I can't figure out how to do. But this will get you through the song. The one flair that I was able to pick up on is, he occasionally uses an alternate fingering for a Bm. It's essentially just the Am formation in the Bm position, but it sounds good. So throw that in for effect. Have fun. Alternate fingering for Bm is used occasionally it is e 2 B 3 G 4 D 4 A x E x G Bm I dove into your heart like a pool G D But there was no water in it and I felt like a fool Am C/G G When I hit the concrete bottom and I broke in two C/G D Ooh oh oh oh oh oh G Bm Walked to the hotel through the door C/G G D But the man at the desk said you weren't staying there no more Am C/G G And I felt so stupid so sorry that I called you a whore C/G D Ooh oh oh oh oh oh C/G G Am G You were just doin' what you had to do C/G G Am G And I feel so dumb for bein' mad at you ooh C/G G Am G I can't stay mad, I can't stay mad at you C/G G Am G I can't stay mad, I can't stay mad at you Am C/G G My heart is full I've got no room, no room [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/e/ezra-furman-and-the-harpoons/277857.html ] G Bm I grew up with my family C/G G D But I did not want to leave and I cried like a baby Am C/G G I asked, "Could I ever come back home?" and my Dad said "Maybe..." C/G D ooh oh oh oh oh oh G Bm So I found a new place to live C/G G D But I had trouble figuring out what's not real and what is Am C/G G The big city was so crazy I could hardly even breathe C/G D Ooh oh oh oh oh oh C/G G Am G And now I'm living in a fantasy C/G G Am G And I will always live there probably ooh C/G G Am G You could move in, you could move in with me C/G G Am G You could move in, you could move in with me Am C/G G The stakes are high, the trees are green okay! C/G G Am G We're all just doin' what we have to do C/G G Am G Nothin' will ever be like it was back in 1992 no-o C/G G Am G And I can't stay mad, I can't stay mad at you C/G G Am G I can't stay mad, I can't stay mad at you Am C G My heart's real full but I'll make room, I'll make room
