Mad As A Hatter by Larkin Poe - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Larkin Poe Song List
Version 1
            (This is capo'd on the 2nd fret to match their original key of C#m, my voice is significantly
 deeper than theirs so I play this open and a half-step down, just do whatever fits your voice)

[Intro]

Bm (play however long you want)


[Verse 1]
Bm
I know what time is, time is a thief
      G                                        A
It'll steal into bed and rob you while you sleep
A              Em          Bm
And you'll never feel it

Bm
It pulls off the covers, and rifles through your head
      G                                                     A
Then you'll wait to find you can't remember what you just said
A            Em           Bm
It happens to everyone

Bm
Just like the father of my father, time stole his mind
    G                                               A
And I can't forget that one-fourth of his blood is mine
A           Em        Bm
I try not to worry


[Chorus]
G
Please don't come for me
                  Bm
I promise I'll be great
                        A
Just let me keep what's mine
G
Please don't come for me
                      Bm                               A
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time
G            D        Em
Please don't come for me
A         Em      A
Mind over matter
                        Em      Bm
when you're as mad as a hatter


[Verse 2]
Bm
It's hard to draw a clear distinction
Bm
Who you are, who you were
G                                                        A
Through the looking glass, the past and future begin to blur
A             Em           Bm
And no-one can blame you

Bm
Well they say the world is what you make it
Bm
You think, speak and breathe
          G                                              A
And those rules still apply, stuck in a world of make believe
A                       Em                 Bm
You make the best with what you're given


[Chorus]

G
Please don't come for me
                  Bm
I promise I'll be great
                        A
Just let me keep what's mine
G
Please don't come for me
                      Bm                               A
If you must then just please wait and let me have some time
G            D        Em
Please don't come for me
A         Em      A
Mind over matter
                        Em  (Keep playing)
when you're as mad as a hatter


[Outro]
Em    Em    G    G
E    Em  E  G    G

Em                                   _
Off with her head, off with her head  |
                                      |- x2 -A
Paint the roses, paint the roses     _|

G                                   _
Off with her head, off with her head  |
                                      |- x2 -B
Paint the roses, paint the roses     _|

(Alternate between A & B 8 times ending on a single count of A for 17 in total,
 or don't, I think the outro doesn't really play well without all the insturments and
 vocal accompaniment. I usually play Bm at the end of the 2nd chorus and stop there, but
 that's just me, do whatever feels right)
