BRENDAN BENSON - POISED AND READY CHORDS

All right guys.. First tab here. Have fun I like playing this song mostly with bar chords... makes it simpler for me and prob for everyone who's used to those. Just play with it and let me know what you think of it. Oh on the 1st bridge after the first two lines there a pretty easy bass mini riff you can probably figure out... adds a lot to the song. If not here it is... E-------------------| B-------------------| G-------------------| D-------------------| A--0----------------| E------3---2---0----| Intro: C - G - Am - G Verse 1

^CYou're poised and ready Unable to make a s^Gound Your hands are sweaty As you look^Am down You're running already When you hit the g^Ground

Verse 2 (same chords) (C-G-Am-G) You're willing and able So nice to have around The head of the table Is tightly wound The noise is loud So turn it down Chorus 1

^FWhen you think ab^Gout it Try to w^Emrap your head a^Amround it You find n^Fone of it Makes ^Gany sense at ^Aall ^FAnd people you once t^Grusted Are now l^Emooking so disg^Amusted And they're w^Faiting anxiousl^Gy For you to f^Dall

Verse 3 (again same chords... as verse 1) (C-G-Am-G) You take for granted And take what you can grab Fore say what's landed Into your lap You shake the hand And take a stab Verse 4 (and again verse 1 chords) (C-G-Am-G) And there's no need to doubt it There's never been Two ways about it It takes a thick skin There's ways around it But no way in Chorus 2 (same as 1st chorus) When you think about it Try to wrap your head around it You find none of it Makes any sense at all And people you once trusted Are now looking so disgusted And they're waiting anxiously For you to fall Bridge 1 (* = insert cool riff here)

And t^Emhere you ^Amgo (*) T^Emelling everybody you k^Amnow (*) S^Emelling a one man s^Amhow So t^Dake a look around you now And s^Foak it up and take a bow

Verse 4 (same as 1st verse) (C-G-Am-G) You're living and crawling And trying to catch a breath You're stalling and dying A sudden death And all the while You second guess Bridge 2 chords:

^DOhh

.. ^F#mOoh ye

ah.. ^BmOoo

oh^Bm/Ahhh..

. ^EOhhh Last 2 verses (verse chords change) D (same on last 2) And now the time has come For it to s^F#mtop The clown was done So call a c^Bmop You're like a ^Bm/Aboy In a china sh^Aop

You're poised and ready Unable to make a sound Your hands are sweaty As you look down You're running already When you hit the ground Outro chords: D - Bm - A - D __Saranak__ __2009__
