The Pierces - Turn On Billie Chords & Tabs

       Am         Am9    Am7
When I woke up this afternoon
   Am9 Am7 Am9    F  E   E7
I know I felt… un-ea-sy
      Am         Am9    Am7
But no matter what I do
 Am9 Am7 Am9       F    E   E7
Nothing seemed to please me
      Am         Am9    Am7
I couldn't get out of my head
     Am9   Am7   Am9  F    E   E7
That little fight we had… last night
      Am         Am9    Am7
But I would much rather be dead
     Am9   Am7   Am9  F    E   E7
Than admit to myself… that you were right


Am  C6     F   Em  
Oh… Oh... Oh… Ohhh

E7


CHORUS
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/t/the_pierces/turn_on_billie_crd.html ]
 Am  
Don't be silly
 C6
Turn On Billie
 F
She's singing us to sleep
 E               E7
So we can dream our lives away
 Am
And if we wake up
 C6
In full make-up
 F
We'll paint the town in blue
             E              
Cause baby, red is so passé


      Am         Am9    Am7
Now don't look at me that way

You know I just can't… take it
      Am         Am9    Am7
And no matter what they say

I know that we will…. Make it
      Am         Am9    Am7
Cause when we are good we are grand

But when we're bad… we are.. very bad (so bad)
      Am                       Am9         Am7                   F
But I stick around cause the love that you are giving me is the best
   E7
I have ever had


Am  C6     F   Em 
Oh… Oh... Oh… Ohhh


E7


CHORUS

 Am  
Don't be silly
 C6
Turn On Billie
 F
She's singing us to sleep
 E               E7
So we can dream our lives away
 Am
And if we wake up
 C6
In full make-up
 F
We'll paint the town in blue
             E              
Cause baby, red is so passé



And it's funny, to me

The way that things have worked out

There's no doubt in my mind

That you can't recall what this song was about

So let's give it up…


Chorus (x2)
