Brand New "Moshi Moshi" (acoustic) The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows Single This is a fairly simple song originally from Brand New's split with Safety in Numbers, reconstructed into an acoustic form that Jesse Lacey played and recorded at a friend's birthday party. It was released in 2004 on The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows single, along with an acoustic cover of Built to Spill's "Car" (also recorded the same day, if I recall correctly). The song sounds best played with power chords for each chord listed below, since Jesse tends to slide between them (such as A to Ab). It sounds best if you play it all near the fifth fret, which is where most of the song takes place. Note that the descending chord transitions should stay that way: play the Ab, F#m, and Em lower than the A (and therefore rooted on the E string) during those parts. Just listen to the song, and it's really easy (and logical) to figure out. The verses follow the same structure each time, but Jesse fits many lyrics into a single chord, so it just looks like the second verse is longer -- it's not, it's the same duration as the first. The chorus is played twice, and each time it is identical, so I only included it once. The song concludes with what is basically a bridge. [Verse]
AI think I'm crazy, baby, Dlet you off the hook too easy AIf you were a telephone Dyou'd still be off the hook AThis is my last leg been awake for days iDn a minute I'll die of starvation AI'll come back a ghost, back and haunt you, and Dfloat around your room What do I Bmdo when you get Dclose? If I Bmkiss your neck would you Eslit my throat?
[Chorus]
Are you Dthinking of Eme when you're Aputting Abon your F#mmakeup, dEmarling? DAnd dying your hEair like you dAo? Well, you're Dwasting your Etime if you're Atrying Abto imF#mpress me, EmI waste DAll my time just Ethinking of Ayou
[Verse]
And I'm not Aimagining how you give me the shivers Dstanding up to your waste in your river AYou're the sweetest boat-builder DI think I've ever seen ADream in Japanese, dream in Japanese Dsome language I don't even know how to speak AYou're so pretty and I am still choked up Dit's probably just the same The Bmmore I hang around yDou the Bmmore hangups I Eget
[Chorus] [Bridge]
F#m I Eknow that you're an Dangel, F#mbut you could Enever stay Atrue D Hey, Eangel, I think your Ahalo Abhas a F#mscrew lose 'cause you Ddropped me like a Ebrick off the Arooftop Abof your F#mhigh school could I watch Dthe next Etime you're apAplying Abyour F#meyeliner? I waste Dall my time just Ethinking of Ayou
