Simple Math by Manchester Orchestra
Simple Math
It is easiest to play the A# on the 6th fret and the C# on the 9th. You can look
up those alternatives when you scroll over the chord in the tabs. Hope that clears everything up.
Intro (palm muted)
A# C# F# x2
A# C#
Hunter eyes
F# A# C#
I'm lost and hardly noticed, slight goodbye
F# A# C#
I want to rip your lips off in my mouth
F# A# C#
And even in my greatest moment doubt
F# A#
The line between deceit and right now
C# A#
Simple math, it's how our bodies even got here
C# F#
Sinful math, the ebb and flow to multiply
C# F#
What if I was wrong and no one cared to mention
C# F#
What if it was true and all we thought was right was wrong?
C# Bm
Simple math, the truth cannot be fractioned
F#
Either way...
Intro progression
A# C# F# x2
A# C# F# A# C#
I imply to mitigate the guilt, we could align
F# A# C#
A perfectly constructed alibi
F# A# C#
To hush the violent guilt that eats and never dies
F# A#
In actual blame, they call me once the dark divide
C# A#
Simple math, it's why our bodies even lay here
C# F#
Sinful math, the truth cannot be fashioned
C# F#
What if you were crazy, would we have to listen then?
C# F#
What if we've been trying to get to where we've always been?
C# F#
What if I was wrong, and started trying to fix it?
C#
What if you believed me? Everything is brilliant
F# Abm A# Cm C# X4 F#
Oh, oh, oh
C# F#
What if I've been trying to get to where I've always been?
C# F#
What if we've been trying to get to where we've always been?
C# F#
Simple math, believe me, all is brilliant
C# F#
What if we've been trying to kill the noise and silence?
(Palm Mute when necessary)
C# F#
What if I was wrong and you had never questioned it?
C# F#
What if it was true, that all we thought was right, was wrong?
C# F#
Simple math, the truth cannot be fractioned
C#
I imply I've got to get it back then
F# Abm A# Cm C# X4
Oh, oh, oh
