Everything Right Is Wrong Again by They Might Be Giants [Convention: each chord is two beats/half a measure. A dash indicates that
the chord is held for another two beats; two chords with a slash between
them are held for one beat/a quarter of a measure each.]
Chorus:
A – E – E – A –
Everything right is wrong again, just like in the long long trailer
A A#dim – D
all the dishes got broken, the car kept driving
Bm – E – – –
and nobody would stop to save her
1.
|: A E D –
Wake me when it’s over, touch my face
A – D E
tell me every word has been erased
A – D –
don’t you want to know the reason why the cupboard’s
A – D E 😐
not appealing – don’t you get the feeling
That everything that’s right is wrong again
you’re a weasel overcome with dinge
weasel overcome but not before the damage
done – the healing doesn’t stop the feeling that
(Chorus)
|: D – E A 😐
And now this song is over now
and now this song is over now
and now this song is over now
D E A –
this song is over now
(half tempo)
A – E –
Everything right is wrong again
E A A#dim – D
every movement false, every four is waltz again
D – E –
every five and dime’s been gained and spent
A E D –
Tell me that you like my float upstream
A – D E
draw the line dividing laugh and scream
A – D –
you know everything that I know, so I know you’ve
A – D E
heard the voice that makes the silent noise that says that
(original tempo)
Everything that’s right is wrong again
you’re a weasel overcome with dinge
weasel overcome but not before the damage
done – the healing doesn’t stop the feeling that
(Chorus)
And now this song is over now
this song is over now
–E.M.
