Format – Dog Problems chords

THE FORMAT :: DOG PROBLEMS
TABS BY BRANDON KARCIC UNLESS OTHERWISE CREDITED

This is one of my favorite albums, and I've been wishing there was more of it on UG so that
the whole world could learn it and play it and love it. So I went through the whole album,
wrote chords for what was missing, and revamped all of the chord sheets that already existed.
I hope you hardcore Format fans enjoy this one a lot.

Credit goes to several people whose tabs I borrowed or improved for this.

Song: Pick Me Up(Track 5)

Almost exactly the same as the previous tab, but I added the ambient chords over 
the intro and included the backing vocal lyrics on the third and fifth choruses.

Song: Dog Problems (Track 6)
Tabbed By: An unregistered UG user who did a fantastic job
Edited and Reformatted By: Brandon Karcic

Almost entirely the same as the previous chords, save for the very beginning and a 
couple G7s that can really just be played as Gs.


PART ONE - THE BEGINNING

 C       Csus4   CDon't you dare speak for someone you don't know.

          
They'll feel it in the back of their throat.

   AmWe know I can't construct a poem,


Cause words like girls get bored and run

           FC'est la vie, I say "I've got so many better things"

             GI've got nothing, you should see me,

    G              G7I smoke myself to sleep.

                      CAnd blame postmodern things I can't relate, like summer camp and coastal states.

       AmLike alcohol and coffee beans; Dance floors and magazines.

  FI think its safe to say I've only got myself to blame

                 GBut boys in swooping haircuts are bringing me down, taking pictures of themselves.


INTERLUDE - HORNS GALORE


C   Am   F   G


PART 2 - FINDING FLAWS IN EVERYONE

             CAnd so I walk the web in search of love, but always seem to end up stuck.

       AmI'm finding flaws in everyone, I've reached the point where all I want

       FIs to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up.

           GWe are parallel lines, we’re running in circles, We're never meant to cross.


           CI'm at a loss, you were my tangerine, my pussycat, my trampoline.

        AmNow alls I get are wincing cheeks and dog problems, I signed a lease.

FThinking my heart belonged at 93rd and Park.

              GInstead I broke a girl’s heart, and flew back to Phoenix

                           G7To finish the year as it started.



PART 3 - THE PART WHERE NATE RUESS BREAKS YOUR HEART, OR 'WAS IT WORTH IT WHEN YOU 
SLEPT WITH HIM?'


            C                                     Am         FCan you hear me? Are you listening? This is the sound of my heart breaking.

        C                               Am         FAnd I hope it's entertaining, Cause for me it’s a bitch

         CWas it worth it when you slept with him?

                Am                FDid you get it all out of your system?


C                Dm      I am a man, Holding it all, 

Em                  FI couldn’t breath, Coming across

G             Am              G    G7I didn’t know I couldn’t give up



PART 4 - IS HE SPELLING 'BECAUSE,' OR 'BECCA'?


CB is for believing you'd always be here for me.

AmE is for everything, even when we see it though.

FC, c is for seeing through you, you are a fake, which brings me

G                            G7To A because, because, you always run away.


        CI never finish phrases, I misspell, Open arms are prison cells.

  AmWhen I said, "I hate what I've become," I lied, I hated who I was.

   FSo when you start to wonder 'bout the pain in my throat,
                                                                                 
                G                     G7                G          CThen don't you ever, no never, ever, speak for someone you don't know.

Why am I scared of people in a room?
Why can't they see a good time are the people close to you?
Why don't I just give in, have a drink and shake some hands?
Oh ay oh, Oh ay oh

Song: Dead End (Track 8)
Tabbed by: Brandon Karcic

VERSE 1

     CHold on, there's a hole in my heart

      DmEveryone can see right through me

        (Em)     FIt goes all the way to the waves

                                    G  F  GWhere my love she tried to wash it away


         C   See we break for the summers so she can find lovers

      DmShe thinks that they're bottles of wine

                     (Em)      FThey make you dinner and they sing you to sleep

                                        G  F  GBut by the morning find the bottle is empty

            Am'Cause she never gives it the time

        DmEvery bottle she finds, they don't compare

                 (Em)   FTo the ones she left behind; There is never a note

         G                         F  GSo she waits for me to come back home

CHORUS 1

                    CI'm looking for a dead end song

                            DmYou wish that smoke could change its color

                    FI love it when you talk so much

                            G  FAnd act like nothing went wrong

     G              CI'm looking for a dead end song

                  DmWe sit and find flaws in everyone

                   FI want to keep you by my side

                    GHolding off tidal waves


VERSE 2

       C"Mint Car" is keeping us warm

            DmShe lays crossed upon the bed

               (Em)     FWe are puzzles making shapes with our hands

                                  G  F  GI take my finger, turn it into a pen

        AmThen I run my hand down your spine

              DmYou guess to write something profound, Something like:

                        (Em)   "Our love will last 'til we die"

FI say "you're good at this game"

                    Gbut what I really wrote is

                   F  GHow I've yet to be saved


CHORUS 2

                    CI'm looking for a dead end song

                    FI love it when you talk so much

                            G  FAnd act like nothing went wrong

     G              CI'm looking for a dead end song

                  DmWe sit and find flaws in everyone

                   FI want to keep you by my side

VERSE
Nico, come back home
Show me that you care
And loves just not a flare on my sleeve
Sleep well, I pray that cardboard boxes,
Set the perfect stage.
'Cause wood grain makes all man made things seem so out of date
Life is not a play, it's what we
Make of the people we love.


CHORUS
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
Oh why, why, why, why, why, why
Are you quick to kiss?

VERSE
She bites at blades and leaves
God damn you shrubbery
Well I?m sick of vanity plates
Should we move to the UK?
'Cause life here in the states has escaped

PRE
All the people in love
What we make of these people we love

Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
Oh why, why, why, why, why
Are you quick to kiss?
Baby, maybe I spoke to soon
I?ll touch you once you make the first move
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch

VERSE
I watch her as she runs
My mother jumps the gun
She puts her in her arms
That is just like my mom
Never lets go, never lets me grow old
I wanna pay her back
But love is nothing you can tax
My family?s not rich by any means
But I feel we won the lottery, that day
The rock swallowed the girl
And I cried as cameras caught my eyes
My tears turned into butterflies
They fly away as caskets close
A new day comes you?ll wake unfold
Smile when you feel the sunlight
You feel the sunlight
You feel the sunlight

CHORUS
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
Oh why, why, why, why, why
Are you quick to kiss?
Baby, maybe I spoke to soon
I?ll touch you once you make the first move
Snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch
Oh snails see the benefits
The beauty in every inch

Song: Inches and Falling (Track 11)
Tabbed by: Brandon Karcic

Based on the tab by Sephythrox (Sephythrox@aol.com). I added a couple Dm's and 
changed the 'well well well' chords.


A  E   I love Love 
D 	   A	DI love being in love 
	A	      EI don't care what it does to me 

A    Take these tattered boxes 
that used to hold your clothes 
Break them down 
			     EBuild them back up with your bones 
All you did was construct a mess 
You're good to me when only flesh 
	A			AYou're a memory with nothing to show 

AWhen we would take trips 
We swore we'd never take pictures 
				  EPictures only prove you can't convince 

Now I wish those photographs 
could convince you that what we had 
	Awould only turn out a negative 



A     Bm  C#mWell well well 
   D                  DmIf fingertips are relationships 
     D                           A			Then I could barely carry your weight 
     BmIf fingers are mistakes 
  D                               ADon't use this one to point the blame 
     EJust sing, sing 

A    EI love love 
D        A         DI love being in love
         A           E I don't care what it does to me

(Interlude, A, E, A)



AAnd don't pick up the line 
You're dressed to have a good time 
				   EYou don't need him, you need to be seen 
So someone else can treat you wrong
So you my love can sing this song

Song: If Work Permits (Track 12)
Tabbed by: Brandon Karcic

Last song on the album. My personal favorite.


INTRO / THE VERSE WHERE SHE CHEATED ON HIM

E

        ESo the wind that blows across your room,
  A       Carried cheap perfume onto your dresser,
                E                              It rained for jewelery and for credit cards,
      A                      ETwo tickets to a film I don't remember,
      A                          One day you'll kiss your rabbit's nose, pick up the phone,
                        ETo find I've been turned over,
     AYou grab that piece of gold,
                                       EOnly to find that the smell has taken over,
                      AAnd all the things you had,
                  B7They aren't the same
              EAs what you hold


          ENow I'm standin' in a room,
                     AThat's filled with older folks,
                     E  They're pleading baby listen,
         E            And I scream as loud as anyone,
           ABut when asked to make a point,
           EI tend to whisper
     ANow highways turn to tidal waves,
                                            EAnd they're asking me to export all of your insecurities,
           ABut that wind that blows across your room, it's gonna set the sails,
                     E    B7And send me back to you, ooh,



CHORUS - THE MELLOW ONE
E Sometimes, when sailors are sailin', they,
A Think twice, about where they're anchorin'
    E And I think, I could make better use,
A Of my time on land,
       E I'll drink less,

 Cause Lord knows I could use a,
A Warm kiss instead of a cold goodbye
F# I'm writing the folks back home to tell them,
A Hey I'm doing all right
