Fiona Apple - Perifery chords

Highlighted       Show chord diagrams
I'm not completely happy with the coda.
The main piece uses G chord alternating between the G and B with rhythm then a 
full D Chord arpegiated over DF#A
The A to D only uses first and third in the chord with rhythm. 


Song starts with a percussive intro for 5 measures, then uses

G   D x 3

G     D          G      D
Oh, the periphery
G     D          G      D
They throw good parties there
G     D          G      D
Those peripheral idiots
G     D          G      D
Always have a bite to bear

A            D
Bear it if you can
A            D
If you really want to

G     D          G      D
Go to the periphery
G     D          G      D
Have them celebrate your name
G     D          G      D
Have them forge you a pedigree and then you'll be
G     D          G      D
Left to run the races lame

A            D
Run it if you want
A            D
If you think it's worth it
     G   D   Em  
But not with me

[Chorus]
 Bm                  C
Cause I don't appreciate
G   Bm  Em   
People who
Bm           C
Don't appreciate
G         Bm                  Em      C
All that loving must've been lackin' something
    Em     Bm             Em          G
If I got bored tryin' to figure you out
     G       Bm     
You let me down
Cm                          G
I don't even like you anymore at all

{Continues as for first verse and chorus}

G     D          G      D
Oh, the periphery
G     D          G      D
I lost another one there
G     D          G      D
He found a prettier girl than me
G     D          G      D
With a more even-tempered air

A                       D
And if he wants her, he should get her
A                        D
Cause I think he thinks she's worth it
G     D          G      D
And maybe they'll move from the periphery
G     D          G      D
By themselves, or on a plot of land
G     D          G      D
And I'll care in a different capacity, I'll just be
G     D          G      D
Hoping he makes a good family man
A                       D
And if he finds himself yearning
A                       D
For his throne on the silly side
A                       D
Nothing wrong as long as he's learning
A                       D
Besides, you can take it up with his brethren
D                       G   D   Em   
Or with his bride, just not with me

[Chorus]
Bm                  C
Cause I don't appreciate
G   Bm  Em   
People who
Bm           C
Don't appreciate
G         Bm                  Em      C
All that loving must've been lackin' something
    Em     Bm             Em          G
If I got bored tryin' to figure you out
     G       Bm     
You let me down
Cm                          G
I don't even like you anymore at all
G   D     G    D x 3

[Extro]
G   D     G    D
Oh,      the periphery
G   D     G    D
Oh,      the periphery
G   D     G    D
Oh,      the periphery
G   D     G    D
Oh,      the periphery
 
G   D     G    D (repeat through the outro, steady beat, vocals with expression)
Stole you away
Away, away
Stole you away, away
(percussion to fade)
