About these chord names. The chord shown is the composite chord — what the rhythm guitar, lead, keys, and bass sound together. The guitar is frequently a power chord or suspension; the upper voicing or the vocal supplies the tone that decides the chord quality. Use the toggle to read in letters, Nashville numbers, or Roman numerals relative to each song's key.

If there was trouble in the world, we didn't know

[Verse 1]
Gone a little far
Gone a little far this time with something
How was I to know?
How was I to know this high came rushing?
[Chorus]
We're on the borderline
Dangerously fine and unforgiving
Possibly a sign
I'm gonna have the strangest night on Sunday
[Verse 2]
Here I go
Quite a show for a loner in L.A.​
I wonder how I managed to end up in this place
Where I couldn't get away
[Chorus]
We're on the borderline (Ooh)
Caught between the tides of pain and rapture
Then I saw the time
Watched it speedin' by like a train
Like a train
[Post-Chorus]
Will I be known and loved?
Is there one that I trust?
Starting to sober up
Has it been long enough?
          Eb
Will I be known and loved?

Little closer, close enough
I'm a loser, loosen up
Eb
Setting free, must be tough

Will I be known and loved?

Is there one that I trust?
Fm
Starting to sober up
            Eb
Has it been long enough?

Will I be so in love?
Any closer? Close enough
Shout out to what is done
R.I.P., here comes the sun
(Here comes the sun)
[Verse 3]
Gone a little far
Gone a little far this time with something
Rudi said it's fine
They used to do this all the time in college (If you and I get comfortable)
[Chorus]
And we're on the borderline (Ooh)
Caught between the tides of pain and rapture
Then I saw the time
Watched it speedin' by like a train

There's no use trying to relate to that older soul
Em                    G
And no use trying to debate that they've got it wrong
Gm              Bb
There's no use pining for love when you're on your own
Em       Am
And no use crying outside if nobody's home

There's no use flying to the moon if they won't believe

And there's every chance I'll be learning fast
F           C
And the day will come and then it will pass

[Chorus — 1:20]
Gm         C
What do you want when I say I won't?
Bb                F
And though I try, I do the same, as though I must
Gm                  C         F
And in the air of today is tomorrow's dust

[Verse 2 — 1:50]
F
There's no use trying to relate to that older soul
Em                    G
And no use biding your time if the bell is tolled

Gm             C
I was blinded by a memory

And all of my dreams are still in sight

[Verse 1]
When we were livin' in squalor, wasn't it Heaven?
     C#
Back when we used to get on it four out of seven
                           D#m
Now even though that was a time I hated from day one
Eventually, terrible memories turn into great ones
[Pre-Chorus]
      C#
So if they call you, embrace them
If they hold you, erase them
[Chorus]
                        F#
'Cause it might've been somethin', who's to say?
Does it help to get lost in yesterday?
                        C#
And you might've missed somethin', don't say
'Cause it has to be lost in yesterday
                             D#m
And you're gonna have to let it go someday
You've been diggin' it up like Groundhog Day
                                   C#
'Cause it might've been somethin', don't say
'Cause it has to be lost in yesterday
[Verse 2]
                       F#
Matty said life didn't go the way that he planned it
                                             C#
Said, "Oh, what I'd give to start over, boy, I'd command it
So, what was I ever afraid of? Why did I worry?
        D#m
And why was I ever so brainless? Head in a flurry"
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause if they call you, embrace them
C#
If they stall you, erase them
[Chorus]
'Cause it might've been somethin', who's to say?
     F#
Does it help to get lost in yesterday?
And you might've missed somethin', don't say
          C#
'Cause it has to be lost in yesterday
And you're gonna have to let it go someday
       D#m
You've been diggin' it up like Groundhog Day
'Cause it might've been somethin', don't say
              C#
'Cause it has to get lost in yesterday
[Refrain]
If it calls you, embrace it
                  F#
If it haunts you, face it
[Bridge]
I know it's mad, I understand
It's only Snakes and Ladders
           C#
The myriad you never had
There's only one that matters
[Outro]
And if it calls you, embrace it
If it holds you, erase it
Replace it

[Verse 1]
We were hangin' in the morning
Feelin' all different kinds of things
We were talkin' about everything
From the past to the happenin'
We started talkin' 'bout devotion
The kind that goes on eternally
And I tell her I'm in love with her
But how can I know that I'll always be?
[Chorus]
She just said, "Is it true? Is it true? Tell me
now
"
That's a promise I can't make and I won't validate
G             Am              G                   Am
Was I in some kind of mood? I don't know, I don't care
                 G                Am
Now I'm sleeping in my room, here I am, back again
G
She's in my—
Am
[Verse 2]
I was happy just listening
No intention to be mentioning
We started talkin' 'bout the future
Not the notion I was motioning
I'm just so terrified to face up
Like any moment I might wake up
'Cause she's the only thing I think of
I
told my mother that I love her
[Chorus]
She just said, "Is it true? Is it true? Tell me now"
That's a promise I can't make and I won't validate
Was I being immature? I don't know, I don't care
Now I'm sleeping in my room, here I am, back again
G
She's in my—
   Am
In my—
[Outro]
        G                      Am
I said, "We'll see, we'll see" (In my—)
We'll see
G
Ah, we'll see
      Am
We'll see
                 G
We'll see, we'll see, we'll see
    Am
See how we go
      G                Am
Until we know what the future holds
          G
Ah, we'll see
We'll see
      Em
We'll see, we'll see, we'll see

Tame Impala — 10 It Might Be Time

key: F#m
Source: Bar-quantized chord detection from audio analysis. Key: F# minor, 117.5 BPM.
Complex chord set (15+ unique chords). Primary motion: F#m as tonic, C and D as color.
Alignment is bar-approximate. Verify fine placement by ear.

Chord Vocabulary

Key: F# minor. Scale: F#, G#, A, B, C#, D, E

  • **F#m** = i (tonic minor — home chord, returns constantly)
  • **C** = bV (tritone substitute — the most unexpected and tension-generating chord)
  • **D** = bVI (borrowed flat sixth — pairs with F#m in verse)
  • **Em** = bVII minor (borrowed)
  • **A** = III (relative major territory)
  • **Bm** = iv (subdominant minor)
  • **G#m** = ii (supertonic minor — bridge color)
  • **C#m** = v (minor dominant)
  • **Gm** = bII minor (chromatic neighbor)
  • The central tension: F#m sits for 4+ bars while C (bV, a tritone away) intrudes — the most harmonically anxious interval possible. This matches "it might be time to face it." The outro dissolves into sustained F#m.

    Tame Impala — 11 Glimmer

    key: Cm
    Source: Bar-quantized chord detection from audio analysis. Key: C minor, 117.5 BPM.
    Main loop: Eb – Fm – Db – Cm (bIII – iv – bII – i), recurs 5×. Album closer.
    Alignment is bar-approximate. Verify fine placement by ear.

    Chord Vocabulary

    Key: C minor. Scale: C, D, Eb, F, G, Ab, Bb

  • **Cm** = i (tonic minor — the destination the loop always returns to)
  • **Fm** = iv (minor subdominant — the most-played chord at 33%)
  • **Eb** = bIII (relative major — the "glimmer" lift chord)
  • **Db** = bII (Phrygian inflection — creates the descending half-step approach to Cm)
  • **Ab** = bVI (borrowed flat sixth — color)
  • **Bbm** = bvii minor (color)
  • **G** = V (dominant — rare, appears near the end for the one true resolution)
  • Primary loop: **Eb → Fm → Db → Cm** (a descending Phrygian-inflected four-chord sequence). The Db→Cm half-step fall is the defining motion — a downward "glimmer" that resolves each phrase into the minor tonic.

    [Intro — spoken production riff]
    (C minor drone)
    "It's like, 'Oh, bass,' cool
    You know how you make the bass better?
    Crank the bass up
    You know how to make the kick drums better?
    Just crank the bass up
    And then it's like, 'No, not really'"

    Abm
    Just a moment
    Right before all the song and dance
    Wasn't brave enough to tell you
    But there ain't gonna be another chance
    It's not long until (All that I have)
    And everything's still (One more hour)
    Minutes are racing, whatever I've done
    I did it for love (All that I have)
    I did it for fun (One more hour)
    Couldn't get enough (All that I have)
    I did it for fame (One more hour)
    But never for money
            B               E
    Not for houses, not for her
            B         E
    Not for my future children
    Until now

    (Move on) How can I walk this path for sure?
    (Lose her) With no more time to spare
