Standard Tuning
Capo 5
Chords Used:
EADGBe
Am 002210
G 320000
C 032010
C low 003210 (Sorry I have no idea what this is really called)
There are many versions of this song on the internet, but all I did was look
at a video of Tegan performing It live on the internet. I only focused on
Tegan’s guitar and the chords are actually VERY easy. If you search “My
Number Live at Criminal Records,†you will see what I mean. The strum is
sort of complicated, but it is easy to see on the video. The song is slower
and more gentile than the original album version and they only go through
the whole song once. On the album, they sing the entire song twice.
Intro: Am, G, C (x2)
Verses:
Am G C
Showers pounding out a new beat, I trade my old shoes for new feet,
Am G C
I grab a new seat. I don't like the one I got, the fabric's wearing through
Am
and it's wearing me out.
G C
You're wearing me down.
Am, G, C
Am G C
Watching old baseball games, and low budget telethons,
Am G C
ain't like watching you yourself when you yourself is on.
Am G C
got time to wander to waste and to whine.
Am G C
but when it comes to you it seems like I just can't find the time.
Am, G, C
Pre Chours:
Am G C
So watch your head and then watch the ground.
Am G C
It's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown.
Am G C(strum 7 counts)
It's a silly time to learn to swim on the way down.
Chorus:
C low C Am G C
If I gave you my number would it still be the same?
C low C Am G C
If I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away.
C low G C(into verse strumming)
Oh, promise me you'll always stay.
Am, G, C
Verses:
Am G C
Closed down the last local zoo, I'm gonna win the endless war
Am G
over who kills the last koala bear,
C Am, G, C
and who in death will love him more and I.
Pre Chours:
Am G
He grabs me by the hand.
C
Drags me to the shore and says,
Am G
maybe you don't love me
C
but you'll grow to love me even more.
Am G C Am G C
And I, I, I, well I'm not surprised.
Chorus:
C low C Am G C
If I gave you my number would it still be the same?
C low C Am G C
If I, if I saved you from drowning promise me you'll never go away.
C low G C(Strum)
Oh, promise me you'll always stay.

Em7 022033
F#/Dsus4 200233
G 320033
Cadd9 x32033
The chords look difficult if you're a beginner, but it's actually very easy to play this
That's why I like to play it this way. Most important is the strumming patterns which
can adjust how you like. Good luck.
