Quite an easy song apart from the E chord. Same chord progression throughout the whole song, pluck the chords to replicate the synth.

UKULELE CHORDS

A              D
Then it's your business
A                 E
a modern piece of glasswork
A           D
Down on the corner that
A                    E
You walk each day in passing
A           D
The elderly sales clerk
A                 E
With eyes full of suspicion
A                       D         A
The whole corporation's giving it permission


The little stairway
a little bit of carpet
a pair of mirrors that
Are facing one another
Out in both directions
a thousand little Julias
That come together
In the middle of Manhattan


Chorus:

You waited since lunch
It all comes at once

Around the corner
The house that modern art built
I ask for modern art
To keep it out the closet
The people who might own it
The sins of pride and envy
And on the second floor
The Richard Cera Skate Park

Waited since lunch
It all comes at once

Along the park walk
Ask all of our questions
While all the horses
Race taxis in the winter
Look up at the buildings
Imagine who might live there
Imagining you're walking
On a bowl upon the sing there

You waited since lunch
It all comes at once

I, your name, do solemnly swear, not to off myself, think about offing myself, or continue thinking about offing myself without reaching out for help after listening to this song.

mercurynapier

+5 is even easier

ukulele is daddy

does anyone know strumming pattern

danniOWO

this is my fav song ever!!!

kazkat

i recommend using Em instead of E7 and for the ‘ i dont see her but i see her ‘ part use C and the for the next use Cm : ]

Danny

And it’d be wrong to say I miss him
I didn’t really know him
I just had a couple friends who really knew him well

He seemed like something special,
Really don’t they all?
I guess before you’re gone it can be kinda hard to tell.

I broke the fucking news,
It wasn’t mine to break,
I cried and I was empty and I didn’t know what to say

Dead kid, with my friends,
Dead kid, home again,
Dead kid, I wanna go..

With the dead girls in the sky,
Dead girls in your eyes,
Dead girls, where do they go?

But it’s fucking
Dead girls all around,
Dead girls in my town,
Dead girls, Where do they go?

I wanna be a…
Dead girl like my friends,
Dead girl home again,
Dead girls, I don’t know!

(I’m pretty sure these lyrics use the same chords and strumming pattern as the ones above. Also the beginning:

I, Your Name, Do solemnly swear not to off myself, think about offing myself, or continue thinking about offing myself without reaching out for help, after listening to this song.

(In which you just strum dududu and move your fingers up a whole fret every other word. Hope this helped anyone lol.)

My fingers are bleeding from the strumming pattern, god

replace e7 with em and d7 with dm, sounds better and is easier

Mmmpoggers

Yessir

Kai

Use Em instead of E7 and use Dm instead of D7, and put a capo on the first or second fret, depending on ur voice, uke, and just what sounds better for u. Hope this helps luvs <3
