Way We Get By by Spoon




        Way We Get By 








A                        Fmaj7
We get high in backseats of cars
A                    Fmaj7
We break into mobile homes
A                       Fmaj7
We go to sleep to shake up you
A                       Fmaj7
And then wake up on our own


CHORUS
Am                        A/G
And that's the way we get by to
         Fmaj7
Way we get by
Am                        A/G
Aw that's, the way we get by to
         Fmaj7
Way we get by


A                   Fmaj7
We go out in stormy weather
A                   Fmaj7
We rarely practice discern
A                         Fmaj7
We make love to some with sin
A               Fmaj7
We seek out the taciturn

CHORUS

A                     Fmaj7/A
And that's the way we get by
A                Fmaj7/A
That's the way we get by

A                               Fmaj7
We found a new kinda dance in a magazine
A                                   Fmaj7
Try it on, it's like nothin' you've ever seen
A                                  Fmaj7
You sweet talk like a cop, an' you know it
A
You bought a new bag of pot
Fmaj7
So let's make a new start

CHORUS

Am                        Fmaj7
And that's the way we get by
Am                  Fmaj7
That's the way we get by

A                        Fmaj7
We get high in backseats of cars
A                   Fmaj7
We put faith in our concerns
A                        Fmaj7
Fall in love to down the streak
A                       Fmaj7
We believe in the sum of ourselves

Am                        Am/G

       Fmaj7
Way we get by

A                      Fmaj7
And that's the way we get by
A                     Fmaj7
That's the way we get by 


I rate this tab as a novice tab because all of these chords should be fairly
straightforward. The only chords that might be slightly confusing are Fmaj7
and the chords that have a slash between two letters (i.e. Am/G). A major 7
chord is fairly easy to figure out, you basically take a 7 chord and play the
7th up a half step. And the root chords (Am/G) are about as straightforward as
they get. If you're playing guitar, just play the first chord (Am). If you're
playing piano, play some form of the first chord in your right hand and some
form of the second in your left (octaves and fifths work best). And lastly,
if you're playing bass, play the second chord listed (G).
