    SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT WITH ME - Cold War Kids
-------------------------------------------------------


Tuning: standard EADG

This song is really basic, there are only two things that you play throughout the entire thing.

[Main Riff]

G|--------------------------|--------------------------|
D|-----9-----9-----9-----9\7|-----7-----7-----7-----7--|
A|--------------------------|--------------------------|
E|--7-----7-----7-----7-----|--5-----5-----5-----5-----|
    1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +     1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +

G|--------------------------|--------------------------|
D|-----2-----2-----2-----2/9|-----9-----9-----9-----9\7|
A|--------------------------|--------------------------|
E|--0-----0-----0-----0-----|--7-----7-----7-----7-----|
    1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +     1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +

Play this riff seven times, then rest for eight measures while the piano plays. 

There's a subtle slide on the E string during the piano part, sounds like 0/7.
(about 4 measures into the piano part if you wanted to know)


[Bridge]
("Reach behind they could hardly find their spines")

First time around, play it like this:

G|--------------------------|--------------------------|
D|-----13-13-------------\11|-----11-11----------------|
A|--------------------------|--------------------------|
E|--11----------------------|--9-----------------------|
    1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +     1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +

G|--------------------------|--------------------------|
D|-----7--7-----------------|-----13-13----------------|
A|--------------------------|--------------------------|
E|--5-----------------5--/11|--11----------------------|
    1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +     1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +

Then play it this way three times:

G|--------------------------|--------------------------|
D|-----13-13----------------|-----11-11----------------|
A|--------------------------|--------------------------|
E|--11----------------11\9--|--9-----------------9-\5--|
    1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +     1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +

G|--------------------------|--------------------------|
D|-----7--7-----------------|-----13-13----------------|
A|--------------------------|--------------------------|
E|--5-----------------5-/11-|--11----------------5-/11-|
    1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +     1  +  2  +  3  +  4  +


Then play the main riff 5 times. (At the 5th time the drums stop playing)
Start to slow down and fade out at the beginning of the 5th time, then stop playing.
