Incubus - Pardon Me Acoustic

okay this is a good song , one of my favourites but there are a lot of chords and
we all know what incubus are like for switching to tonic keys and having odd
changes so bear with it , i’m pretty sure this is near accurate . you can play the
chords either as power chords or as the full barre , for example; C#5 or C#m .

. . . ( wo – oah’s )

verse :

Eadd9
a decade ago ,
C#sus2
i never thought i would be ,
Dsus2
at twenty – three , on the verge of
G#m
spontaneous combustion . – woe – is – me . –
Em7
but i guess that it comes
D#m
with the territory ,
Eadd9
an ominous landscape of
C#sus2
never – ending calamity .
Dsus2
i need you to hear ,
G#m
i need you to see
Em7
that i have had all i can take and
D#m
exploding seems like an imminent possibility

Asus2
to me

chorus :

C#5
so pardon me while i burst
B5
into flames .
Asus2
i’ve had enough of the world
F#5 E5 F#5 E5
and its people’s mindless games .
C#5 B5
so pardon me while i burn
Asus2
and rise above the flame .
F#5 E5 F#5 E5
pardon me , pardon me . . .
C#5 B5
i’ll never be the same!

verse :
Eadd9
not two days ago ,
C#sus2
i was having a look

in a book
Dsus2
and i saw a picture of a guy
G#m
fried up above his knee .
Em7
i said , “i can relate , ”
D#m
cause lately i’ve been thinking of combustication
Eadd9
as a welcome vacation from
C#sus2
the burdens of
Dsus2
the planet earth .
G#m
like gravity , hypocrisy ,
Em7
and the perils of being in 3 – D . . .
D#m
but thinking so much differently .

chorus :

C#5
so pardon me while i burst
B5
into flames .
Asus2
