Analyst Tab

by Delta Goodrem


This is a song that is quite complex.  And I don't know every part of it, I'll try to 
it down by using the abbreviations I did for 'Running Away' by Delta Goodrem.

This the chord part only, I'm not savvy with tabs, but I'll have a crack at it later.

But this song could've been a perfect alternative theme song for 'Vernoica Mars', even 
when Delta was writing it, she was analyzing herself.

Intro: (Piano chords in appegio from middle C) Bbmadd9, Bbm7, Bbmadd9, Bbm7

Verse: (Piano chords in appegio, but an octave below)
Bbmadd9  Bbm7                 Fmadd9
 Pre-    pare yourself to-o me-et
                    
A girl who can not sle-ep
                       
Divi-iding every question 
         /                Bbmadd9
'til the questions are comple-te
                   Fmadd9                   
    Every twiste-ed ton-gue she stu-udies e-everyon-e
(Percussion, Bass & Guitar chords join in on 'young')
                              
She won't leave any stone unturned 
    /           
the night is oh so young

Bridge
                               
Oh o-oh she's travelling back in ti-i-me
                     
Questioning every li-i-ne that someone said
          
Oh o-oh she's trying to understand

T-rying to make sense of her life
                                                 (ring)
Digging around in the dirt she's a slave to the wo-or-rk
She's always the analyst

Intro 2: Same as Intro 1 but with bass guitar.
Piano appegio plays 8 notes on Bbmadd9, 8 notes on Bbm7, only 6 notes on Bbmadd9, ring note.

Some kind of tone down effect lead to key change

Key change to Am
Amaddd9                    Emadd9      
 Can you be sure we haven't me-et see the eyes they don't forget
                                 
 They  wa-ander through the passage-ways that tease a restless mind
Amadd9              Emadd9                    
       Can't afford to sli-ip the picture's gotta fi-it
                                            
Her world's a photo-graph that gets dis-sected bit by bit

Bridge
                                 
Oh o-oh she's travelling back in ti-i-ime
                     
Questioning every li-i-ne that someone said
    
Oh o-oh she's trying to understand

           /
Ho-oh-ai-hu-u-u

(No percussion, ring all chords)
                      
Re-living the mistake she's made 
                              /
not a moment for the curious gi-irl

T-rying to make sense of this life

Digging the around, breaking it down

Neurotic thoughts
Burning the ground
                    (ring)
Every sight every sou-und

No guitar
                       Bbmmaj7 (ring)
She's always the analy-yst
