Wil Wagner – How They Made Us chords

Hey guys,

Here's a song off Wil Wagner's new EP Laika, called "How They Made Us".  This is 
just a rough idea, but seems to sound pretty good both with the song and on it's own.

I don't know the names of any chords in Open C, but use below for reference
Also high F is hammered on here and there, listen for timing.

Verse 1

E                                                     DIt's a midwinter Friday and there's not a car on this highway

                                 CThat wouldn't hit me just to get home.

                                                        BI'm riding punch lines and dregs from the pouch that we split
somewhere back on Punt Road.

E                                    DAnd the big neon signs they all intertwine

                                              CWith the passing cars' headlights burning my eyes.

                                             BIn this city of excuses, dead palm trees and useless transport,

          A                    BI use my legs to get to you on time.


Chorus

    A                          B                          CBut silence speaks louder than words that we don't understand,

               E           D           AAnd I know the language is made out of

         B                       COne upmanship and slight of hand.

          A    B    C                              ABut it's all we've got to explain how they made us,

E         D                AUnable to explain how they made us.

E         D               E   D   C  BUnable to explain how they


Verse 2

E                                        D                        And I'm naked except for donations, rank revelations,
                                     
                                    CMy own bad behavior, pissing off the neighbours.

                                            BLying to colleagues about how interesting I am,

                                     EJust so part of me is nothing like them and

                                         D The clubs up on Swan Street pulse to the backbeat of violence and sadness 

              Cand god awful sweat heat.

                                                 BThey tarnish reputations and they smash up train stations,
So angry they forgot what they were angry about.

A                                   BThis city is a punching bag for the punished to let something out.

A                    B                    E              D           CBut how can you stay mad when the red sun spits straight through the clouds 

     Blike this?

        AAnd the cold bites my skin.

    BAnd you bit my upper lip.


Chorus 2

    A                          B                          CBut silence speaks louder than words that we don't understand,

               E           D            AAnd I know the language is made out of

         B                       COne upmanship and slight of hand.

          A    B    C                              ABut it's all we've got to explain how they made us,

  E         D                AUnable to explain how they made us.

  E         D             CUnable to explain how they
