 Go  back to those gold soundz
 And  keep my affect  to yourself
 Because  it's nothing that I don't like
 Is  it a crisis or a boring  change
 When  it's central, so essential
 It  has a nice ring when  you laugh
 At  the low-life opinions
 And  they're coming to the  chorus now
 I  keep my address to  yourself
 Cause  we need secrets
 We  need secret, cret, cret, cret, crets
 Back  right now
 Because I never want to make you feel
 That you're social, never ignorant soul
 Believe in what you want to do
 And do you think that is a major flaw
 When they rise up in the falling rain
 And if you stay around with your knuckles ground down
 The trials over, the weapon's found
 Keep my address to myself
 Cause it's secret
 Cause it's secret, cret,
 cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,
 Back right now
 So drunk in the august sun
 And you're the kind of girl I like
 Because you're empty, and I'm empty
 And you can never quarantine the past
 Did you remember in December
 That I won't eat you when I'm gone
 And if I go there ,I won't stay there
 Because I'm sitting here too long
 I've been sitting here too long
 And I've been wasting
 Allocating outward
 For the last word
 Last words come up
 All you've got to wait
 Now for some "Pavement chords". First retune your guitar to
 
 
 
 
 
   (fat
   string down 4 frets in pitch,
   string down 2 frets
 in pitch, thin E sting down 5 frets in pitch). Once you've retuned
 these are the chord shapes:
 
 
 
 
 
F#m
B-|------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B-|--2-------10--------4-------12-----4--------7-----15------7-------10----|
G-|--2--------9--------4-------11-----6--------7-----14------9-------11----|

G-|--2--------9--------4-------11-----4--------7-----14------7-------11----|
C-|-----------9----------------11--------------------14--------------------|
 The (I) or (II) just indicates position, e.g. A(I) is an A major,
 played in the first position (along the guitar neck), while A(II) is
 also A major but played in the second position.
 Note that the first string is not played in any of the above chords.
 Since the first and second strings are tuned the same, if you want,
 you can fret the first string the same as the second and play it.
 >From listening to the recording, I think the two guitars play as
 follows:
  guitar 1: A(I) - B(I) - D(I)
  guitar 2: A(II) - A(II) - A(II)
 Here guitar 2 is playing the A(II) the whole time. Listen for those
 high notes on the record, especially during the first verse when
 guitar 1 is quit.
  both:
 
 
 
 
 intrumental interlude (roughly):
  guitar 1: A(I) - B(I) - D(I)
  guitar 2: A(II) - B(II) - D(II)
 The interlude is pretty free form so this simple pattern isn't the
 whole story, but you can play around with these chords and find a lot
 of the sounds on the record.

And if I go there ,I won't stay there
Because I'm sitting here too long
I've been sitting here too long
And I've been wasting
Allocating outward
For the last word
Last words come up
All you've got to wait

also A major but played in the second position.

Note that the first string is not played in any of the above chords.

you can fret the first string the same as the second and play it.

>From listening to the recording, I think the two guitars play as
follows:

   guitar 1:  A(I)  - B(I)  - D(I)
   guitar 2:  A(II) - A(II) - A(II)

Here guitar 2 is playing the A(II) the whole time.  Listen for those
