I See Dark by Laura Stevenson and the Cans
Capo 2nd fret
Part A:
[G]Cuffed to the bed next to my head
[C] Swallow the key up, swallow the key.
[G] You've been swallowing every[C]thing
Lock me [Am]up in a [Em]room with a [C]strange one.
[G]Take this, go on take it and you'll
[C] see your ache will soon break
[G]Do this in memory of what[C] you used to be
But that [Am]lump on a [Em]cot in [C]a dark room,
takes her [Am]time [Em] [C]wasting away
Trapped i[Am]nside of a[Em] body that [C]hates her
Take your [Am]time and t[Em]hen someone[C] will take you...
Part B: (1:09)(from live version but the chords are the same)
(Im sure you can figure out the strumming)
Em C x2
Am Em C x2
Part C: (2:05)(not exact strumming pattern)
[C] [G]
C Em G
(G) C
We'll lay with the lights out
I'll lie if you w[Em]ant me to, but I will lie n[C]ext to you
I can hear t[G]hem too, I can hear them too
C (4 measures) Em (4 measures)
C (4 measures) Cmaj7
End Part:
[Csus2] [Cmaj7]
Small Lead Guitar Part: (2:34) (NOT relative to the capo)
Its a pretty straight forward song.
Im not 100 percent sure about the lead guitar part but I just really like when that part comes in.
This is one of my favorite Laura Stevenson songs and
I hope this is helpful to anyone who wants to learn it
