Need some help figuring out what chords these are! Help??

Postby AerieFlew » 17 Mar 2012 12:51

So this is not pony related at all but I was talking to Lux Lovelle this morning and showed her my youtube and such and she asked if I was doing a cover of one of her songs and that she'd love if I did so I chose my current favourite, Overload, and told her I would. My issue? XP No one has an instrumental that I can jack and I am horrible at figuring out what is being played.

What I need is the basic chord arrangement for this whole song, like if someone wanted to take the lyrics and match them with the basic chords for me, I'd love them forever. I have a little time and don't need it right away because I am working on other things with amazing people like Nix and RandomPony but I would like to at least get a start on practicing this because when a celebrity asks you to cover one of their songs, you do.

SO here is the song:


Lyrics:
I look at me and it's like seeing double
It's hard to breathe when I'm drowning in trouble
I never know when enough is enough
'till I wake up in handcuffs

Now I know I can't pretend
'Cause I'm here again

+Heading down the wrong road
Falling into space
Feeling like I'm always out of place
Does anybody hear the screaming in my head
Circuits about to blow
I'm on Overload

~La la la...

Caught in a maze, blinded by tunnel vision
So much to say, but there's no one to listen
Here comes the part where I hit rock bottom
Tell me where I went wrong

I just want someone to blame
For being here again

+Heading down the wrong road
Falling into space
Feeling like I'm always out of place
Does anybody hear the screaming in my head
Circuits about to blow
I'm on Overload

~La la la...

I'm climbing out
Finding that there's so much more
I need right now
I don't wanna go on Overload

+Heading down the wrong road
Falling into space
Feeling like I'm always out of place
Does anybody hear the screaming in my head
Circuits about to blow
I'm on Overload

~La la la...

Repeat.

Fm

Ending la-la is the beginning thing again, so

If you put a capo on the third fret, it shouldn't be too bad. In which case it would just be:

Intro: Am F G
Verse: Am F C G
Pre-chorus: F G
Bridge: Dm Bb
