Synthetica

Metric is an indie rock band formed in 1998 at Toronto, Canada and based at various times in Montreal, London, New York City and Los Angeles. The band members are Emily Haines (vocals, synthesizers), James Shaw (guitars), Josh Winstead (bass) and Joules Scott-Key (drums). Initially Metric was a duo made up by Haines and Shaw, then in 2001 Winstead and Scott-Key joined the band. They took the name &quot;Metric&quot; in 1999 after a synthesizer beat that Shaw used on his sampler and as a reference to their musical precision. The group's music encompasses elements of indie rock, new wave and dance music.

Breathing Underwater

C           Em           Dm      Am
I'm sick, you're tired, let's dance,
C            Em           Dm     Am
Break to love make lust I know, it isn't.
C           Em           Dm      Am
I'm sick, you're tired, let's dance, dance, dance...
C          Em         Dm         Am
Cold as numbers, but let's dance.

F                         Am         Dm     Am
As though it were easy, for you to leave me.
F               Am        Dm      G
I could be passive, gracefully.

E             Am                   F            E
Half the horizon's gone- skyline of numbers.
E             Am                    F              E              Dm
Half the horizon's gone- working the numbers 'til I'm sick...

C                 Em       Dm    Am
Sleep don't pacify us, until...
C                Em        Dm           Am
Day break sky lights up the the grid we live in.
C               Em   D        F#
Dizzy when we talk so fast!
C            Em        Dm           Am
Fields of numbers streaming past.
C                     Em           Dm                Am  Em
I wish we were farmers, I wish we knew how to...
C                    Em              Dm
Grow sweet potatoes, and milk cows.
C                      Em           Dm            Em
I wish we were lovers, but it's for the best...

Dm                  C          Em         Am       C 
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost- 'Where is the love?'
Dm                  C          Em         Am       Fm
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost- 'Who here is in line for a raise?'
Dm                  C          Em         Am       C 
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost- 'Where is the love?'
Dm                  C          Em        Am        Am               Em           Am
Tonight, your ghost will ask my ghost- 'Who put these bodies between us?'

No one here wants to fight me like you do

Help I'm Alive

Intro: Am

Verse:

C			Am
On the day we were supposed to leave
F			     G
You changed your mind at the station
Am
You had a nice apartment
F
There was a good bar downstairs
Dm
Your old friend worked there

C		Am
I'll go anyway, I'll go anyway
F		       G
They won't refund the ticket
G
It's a good story

Chorus:

Dm				G
But I don't want to live it alone
G		Am
Crash to take a chance
Am		C
I wanna live it out
C		   Dm
I know I'm already dead
Dm		    G
No concrete adversity
G		      Am
Only traps of our own actions
Am		    C (hammer on D string)
How we wanted it to be
C				Dm
Now I'm never gonna see you again
Dm	    G
You checked out

Verse:

Vertabrae by vertebrae
Roll your way out of a coma
Look up, the nurse is smiling
What luck, the nurse is me
Your old body is dead
Your body's dead, you're a word instead
In my sleep I repeat it
It's a good story

Chorus:

But I don't want to live it alone
Crash to take a chance
We were gonna live it out
Look at you, you're already dead
How will you remember me
Digging ditches out of boredom
Said you would never leave
Now you're never gonna be here again
You turned off

Live It Out 

D                     A  
Don't say yes if you can't say no,
C#m                   F#m          E
Victim of the system, say it isn't so
D                         A
Squatted on the doorstep, swollen on the blow
C#m                  F#m       E
Leaving without you, can't say no

Halfway starts with happiness for me
Halfway house, lost kitten in the street
Hit me where it hurts, I'm coming home to lose
Kitten on the catwalk, high-heeled shoes

No more hard-headed Saturdays,
They got it, they want it, they give it away
Tell me one thing you would never do
I was looking for a hooker when I found you

You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine, ah, but you've got my eyes

When you lie, I'll cover it up
When you hide, I'll cover it up
When you cry, I'll cover it up
When you come undone, I'll cover it up

So pent up, I was coming home to you
Happy in the nighttime, howlin' at the moon
Sippin' on a cocktail, drinking in the loo
There's something about you I hold on to

You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine, ah, but you've got my eyes

When you lie, I'll cover it up
When you hide, I'll cover it up
When you cry, I'll cover it up
When you're blind, I'll cover it up

When you lie, I'll cover it up,
When you hide, I'll cover it up
When you cry, I'll cover it up
When you come undone, I'll cover it up

They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away
They got it, they want it, they give it away

They got it, they want it, they give it away 
(When you lie, I'll cover it up)
They got it, they want it, they give it away 
(When you hide, I'll cover it up)
They got it, they want it, they give it away 
(When you cry, I'll cover it up)
They got it, they want it, they give it away 
(When you come undone, I'll cover it up)

Love Is A Place

               Am                E/G#
Sort of wonder why No one said a word
                         C/G
Don't you like it on the sly?
                          Ab
Don't you like it till it hurts?
     Bb             Am                             E/G#
Have I been on your mind? What's a voice without a song?
                  C/G                            Ab
Something in your head You've been fighting all along...

Bb              Am
I don't want to say it, The news is not so good
We'll never get away, And even if we could
We'd just play the tambourine Around an open flame
Oversleep and burn To be back in the game

       Bb           C                       E
'Cause summer never comes Nowhere near high noon
                 Am                    Ab
And winter never comes Nor the harvest moon


    C
Raw sugar
                                Bb
I don't want to die living in a high rise grave

My baby come home
Ab               Gm
(same black day, high rise grave)

No I'm not complaining, Yes it could be worse
Ferment on the wish bone, Match the lips to the purse
Neighborhood's a runway, Fry the ass and thighs
Dirty diamond dealers, pushed behind the ire's

'Cause summer never comes Nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes Nor the harvest moon

Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high rise grave
My baby come home
(same black day, high rise grave)


                 Am                           E7
Still I wear the red dress, Paint my toes and twirl
                C                             Ab
Take it back to old times, when I was still a girl
       Bb          Am                             E7
'Cause now I'm all baboon boys, Cootchie Cootchie Coo

Sort of wonder why I missed a kiss for you

Winter never comes (same black day, high rise grave)

Dm             F                   Am
Some of us are wild ones, ever underwanted,

I believe
 
Dm               F
Lining up in the background,
                 Am              F
Waiting for the crap shot to be seen
 
Dm                   F
In the shadow of the big screen,
          Am           F      G
Everybody begs to be redeemed
 
Am        C          F   Dm    G
Hey, I'm not Synthetica
Am             C              F    G
I'll keep the life that I've got
 
Dm             F                        Am
We were never meant to crawl in for the bait,
          F
We never will
 
Dm              F
I can think for myself,
                       Am              F    G
I've got something no pill could ever kill

Hey, I'm not Synthetica, oh

I'll keep the life that I've got, oh

So hard, hard to resist Synthetica, oh
Am          C                F    Dm    G
No drug is stronger than me, Synthetica
 
      F                 E              Am
We're all the time confined to fit the mold

I'm following the sun light setting in the west.

We're floating on a bed of fading lights.
  Dm        Bb                         F
A canopy of trees bears witness to the breeze.
                                           Dm
I'm falling like a feather, soft and light

Dm
All there is and ever was.

    Dm
The moonlit sea to hold your hand.
  Bb
I want it all, I want it all. (x2)


    Dm          Bb                         F
The embers of a fire still burning as they die.
                                    Dm
Stay bright to keep us side by side.

              Bb        F
Baby, there's no better time.
                               Dm

We got temptation, we got it made.

We got rewarded, we got refused.
                Dm               Bb
We got distorted, we got confused.
                   G                 C
We got the sunshine, we got the shade.

I want it all, I want it all. (x2)

You took my heart on my sleeve for decoration

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah,

Overreacting

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.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
