This is the chord progression of Myths Made Plain by Bad Books on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
A                             D                      G
If you\’re wondering how we landed here
A                             D                             G
You were watching the waves and drinking beer
A                                           D                             B
You don\’t even remember standing up
E
Truly, I don\’t either

[Verse 2]
A                             D                             G
At some point you waded to your waist
A                                           D                             G
As you slipped further out the stakes were raised
A                             D                             B
Finally you were surrounded, and for what?
E
A water darker and deeper

[Chorus 1]
G                                           A
In 1997 I became myself
D                                                         G
And 20 minutes later I began to melt
G                                         A
The cycle I get used to in the course of time
D                                                         G
The shifting definitions that comprise a life
G                             A                                         D
The people I become and the people I don\’t recognize

[Verse 3]
A                                           D               G
If you\’re wondering who arranged the mess
A                             D                             G
Some exceptions were made to grant, I guess
A                                           D               B
While we all let the peak of the parade
E
The underbelly went lethal

[Chorus 2]
G                             A
In 2007 tried to build a bridge
D                                                         G
Between how I was living and how I could live
G                                                                       A
I tricked myself into thinking I\’d done enough
D                                           G
Once I got across I didn\’t blow it up
G                             A                             D
Yeah, I closed some lanes, all it really takes is one

[Bridge]
E                             F#                             G
Opening to tear apart all your works
D                    E                             F#                             G
So fine you are, delicate un-achieve all your half-philosophy
D               E                             F#               G
Style points, blind belief a whirling perpetuity
D                             E                             F#                             G
The ocean warm that knows you did the same before

[Chorus 3]
G                             A
So in 2017 we did away with facts
D                             G
All negotiation with a battle axe
G A
The gruesome ideology is center shame
D G
American identity was laid to waste
G
We\’re backlit and exposed
A B D E
Sugar stripped and it\’s made clean

[Outro]
G
The people I become
A D
The people I can\’t replicate
