An Exercise by John Frusciante
An Exercise
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Bm
Capo:no capo
[Intro]
(2x)
Bm D A
Bm F#m G
[Chorus]
Bm D A Bm F#m G
Learning there's nothing to gain from advice
Bm D A Bm F#m G
Hey doubt, come on around any time
[Verse 1]
D A G D F#m G
Anyhow mistakes are what lead you through life
Bm D A Bm
Down and out's only if you think up and in's right
[BASE GUITAR SOLO PART(BGSP)]
Bm(7th) A(7th) D(7th)
Bm(7th) A(7th-w1) D(7thw1)
Bm(7th) A(7th) D(7th)
Bm(7th)
[Chorus]
Bm D A Bm F#m G
I've gone along with the sins that are versions of you
Bm D A Bm F#m G
But guidelines were all I had time to get through
[Verse 2]
D A G D F#m G
It's like reading of love that's gone wrong
Bm
If time was laid out like that
A G Bm
Everything would occur at once
BGSP(x1)
[Bridge]
A G Bm F#m F#
And all the laws were laid down twice
A G Bm F#m F#
And the clouds were doubled in the sky
A G Bm F#m F#
And being tall meant lacking height
A G Bm A G
And being wrong meant being right
[Chorus]
Bm
You're perfect
D A Bm F#m G
You fit snuggly right in the lie
Bm D A Bm F#m G
One host is going to teach how to die
[Verse 3]
D
Lay down
A G D F#m G
The darkness tonight is so bright
Bm
Reasons
A G Bm
There's one for each time cars collide
BGSP(x1)
[Bridge]
A G Bm F#m F#
I hear that telling moments divide
A G
And the only important moments
Bm F#m F#
Are the in between times
A G Bm F#m F#
And being confused is an exercise
A G Bm
I'm missing your thoughts tonight
A F#m G
But we reach out to what's out of our sight
A G Bm
I'm missing your thoughts tonight
A G
But we reach out to what's out of our sight
[CHORDS]
Bm : x24432
A : x02220
F# : 244322
F#m: 244222
G : 355433
D : xx0232
CHORDS OF BGSP
Bm(7th): 799777
A(7th) : xxx9 10 9
D(7th) : xxx787
A(7th-w1):xxx9 10x
D(7thw1): xxx78x
In the bridge you can also use F#m, but I like the aura that the A# note creates.
Maybe you could alternate between both chords, first F#m and then F#.
