Gotye is Aussie Belgian Wally De Backer. He plays drums, percussion and piano, and he writes, sings and produces tracks at his home, currently in Victoria, Australia. Gotye's sound is a melting pot of samples from sources far and wide, mixed with Wally's vocals and home recorded sounds to form original songs that are as likely to channel '80s New Romantic pop or '60s Motown soul as they are to be experiments in kooky turntablism or progressive trip-hop landscapes.

Gotye is many things to many people, and, at once, many things to just one person (himself for instance), although, at times, he may be a few things to a few people. At once.  Sometimes, he may mean something to some person or people (and we all know you can fool some people, some of the time) but it must be said: his aim is to fool himself, all of the time. Which he does.  Sometimes  .  

Gotye (ausgesprochen &quot;gore-ti-yeah&quot;) ist das Alias des australischen electronic pop Tüftler Wally de Backer.

Intro: Dm, C, Dm, C x5

Verse:
Dm       C              Dm      C     Dm   C  Dm C
Now and then I think of when we were together
Dm            C                Dm     C        Dm  C Dm C         
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Dm     C                  Dm         C      
Told myself that you were right for me
Dm           C             Dm      C
But felt so lonely in your company
Dm            C                Dm       C     Dm    C  Dm  C
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

Bridge: Dm, C, Dm, C x4

Verse 2:
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end
Always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

Chorus:
Dm      C              Bb     C
But you didn't have to cut me off
Dm        C            Bb
Make out like it never happened
         C          Dm
And that we were nothing
    C             Bb       C
And I don't even need your love
         Dm              C
But you treat me like a stranger
          Bb       C
And that feels so rough
Dm    C              Bb      C
You didn't have to stoop so low
Dm         C                   Bb 
Have your friends collect your records
          C           Dm
And then change your number
  C                  Bb          C
I guess that I don't need that though
Dm               C              Bb      C
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Verse 3:
Dm       C             Dm                  C          Dm  C Dm C      
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
Dm          C                Bb              C      Dm   C Dm C
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
Dm    C            Bb       C
And I don't wanna live that way
Dm       C          Bb      C
Reading into every word you say
Dm   C                   Bb     C
You said that you could let it go
Dm                       C              Bb            C
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...

Chorus:
But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened
And that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger
And that feels so rough
You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records
And then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know


Dm C  Bb  C
I used to know
Dm  C  Bb       C
That I used to know x2

Dm C Bb C
Somebody...

Ends on Dm

Bronte

Eyes Wide Open is the first single from Gotye's third album, released in early 2011. The Eyes Wide Open Songfacts explains the bassline that underpins this ecologically themed song is made up of samples of Gotye playing The Winton Musical Fence, which is a musical instrument installation consisting of five huge metal strings attached to fence posts, and connected to a wooden resonant chamber. The fence is located in Winton, Queensland and Gotye took the opportunity to record sounds from the unusual instrument on his portable stereo recorder.

Am   C   F

So this is the end of the story
Everything we had, everything we did
Is buried in dust
And this dust is all that's left of us
And only a few ever worried

While the signs will clear
They have no idea
You just get used to living in fear
Or give up
When you can't even picture your future

Em   D

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open

Am   C   F

G   F

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open
(We walk the plank with our eyes wide open)
And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open
(We walk the plank with our eyes wide open)

Am   C   F

Some people laugh at our bedsores
We made out like we heard
They were only words
They didn't add up
To a change in the way we were living
And the saddest thing
Is all of it could have been avoided

But it was like to stop consuming is to stop being human
And why'd I make a change if you won't?
We're all in the same boat
Staying afloat for the moment

G   F

We walk the plank with our eyes wide open
(We walk the plank with our eyes wide open)
And we walk the plank with our eyes wide open
(We walk the plank with our eyes wide open)

Am   C   F

With our eyes wide open we
We walk the plank; we walk the plank
So that is the end of the story

Eyes Wide Open

Verse:
E                      D     E
There was a time I was down, down
A                     D      E
I didn't know what to do------
(E)                  D       E
I was just stumbling around, around
A                         F#m
Thinking things could not improve
B                      Ab                     
I couldn't look on the bright side
   C#m         A
Of anything at all
F#m                       Ab
That's when you gave me a call

Chorus:
           E       D       A             D  E
Now I feel better, better, better than before
       E       D       A                   D        E
I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more

Verse:
E                          D     E
And there were times I was sure, so sure
A                  D    E
I couldn't turn it around
E                   D   E
I couldn't care any more
A                       F#m
About the good things I found
B                         Ab
That's when you gave me a reason
C#m              A
To make me smile again
F#m                        B     
I only have to see you and then

Chorus:
           E       D       A             D  E
Now I feel better, better, better than before

I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more
           E       D       A             D  E
Now I feel better, better, better than before
       E       D       A                   D        E
I feel better, better, better, now I'm not down any more

Bridge:
C#m                             Ab
Life sometimes seems to get the best of you
B                               E
Like everything just brings you down
E7                                          A
Just when you think there's nothing you can do
F#m                            B
A friendly face will bring you around
N.C.                E
And you'll feel better

Instrumental:
(E) D A D E x2

Final Chorus:
            E                   D       A           D     E
You'll feel better, you'll feel better, better than before
                        E            D         A                  D   E

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Overreacting

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
