hi . just did these chords heaps quickly after listening to imogen
heap’s “half life” . theyre easy to play , and they dont sound too bad
( at least i dont think they do : D ) . i tried timing the chords to her
lyrics so it’ll be in tempo with the song . but . . . probably failed lol .
hope you enjoy .
capo on 1st fret .
main chords are : C , Em , Am , Fm , G
summary – incase you dont wanna read all the way down .
verses : C , Em , Am , Fm , G
chorus : C , Em , Am , Fm , G
bridge : C , Em , G .
C Em
i knew that i’d get like this again , that’s why i try to keep at bay
Am
be A 100 percent when i’m with you and then
Fm G
the perfect heart’s length away
C
the stickler is your plague , not one beat wrong
Em
you never promised me anything
Am
even set me down , warn me just how they fall
Fm G C
i knew the odds were i’d never win and here i Am
Em
it’s a half life
Am
with you as my quarterback
Fm
a daft life
C
myself worth measured in text – back tempo
Em
it’s been two days and eight minutes too slow
Am
there may well be others but i still like to pretend
Fm G
that i’m the one you really want to grow old with
C
i’ve got a schedule to stick to , got a world to keep sweet
Em
it’s so much to everyone all the time
Am
will you ever slow down? will i ever come first?
Fm G
the universe contracts to size
C Em
it’s a half life
Am
with you as my quarterback
Fm G
a daft life
C Em
it’s a half life
Am
with you as my quarterback
Fm G
a daft life

Em C ( [ Am ] optional )
oh , me
Em C ( [ Am ] optional )
oh , me
Em C G
darling please
C
you know you’ll never be lonely no , you’ll always be loved
Em
and maybe , you’ll never need more than that
Am
of others sapless little loves , what’s to become of us?
Fm G
does it even register on your conscience?
C
long for one last showdown from a box in a crowd
Em
air compress tight to explode
Am
i’m clenching my ticket to the only way out
Fm G
as you disappear in a puff of smoke
C Em
its a half life
Am
with you as my quarterback
Fm G
a daft life
end on C . or G . whatever you prefer . C = happy ending , G = sad ending in my opinion .
