Canada Dry Chords by Barenaked Ladies

Capo 1

C:     x32010
G:     320003
Fmaj7: x33210 (or F)
Dm:    xx0231
Em:    022000

[Intro]
C G Fmaj7 G (x2)

[Verse 1]
( G )    C             G        Fmaj7 G
We were shining like Aurora Borealis
     C           G                  Fmaj7 G
Like Sid sipping from the Stanley chalice
C            G              Fmaj7 G
Balling in a bus across the US----A
C               G                   Fmaj7     G
Dumb enough to think that it would stay that way
C               G              Fmaj7    G
Lounging in the living room in long johns
     C                G       Fmaj7    G
More distant than Victoria to St. John’s
C                G          Fmaj7   G
Trying to use a record to repair my heart
        C         G             Fmaj7   G      Fmaj7
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want to start again
    G
My friend

[Chorus]
( G )             C        G       Fmaj7
You’re leaving me high and Canada Dry
    G           C            G           Fmaj7
I’m out of your head and I’m losing my mind
G            C       G         Fmaj7
Listening to Neil is making me cry
           G      Dm   G               C G Fmaj7 G
You’re leaving me hiiiigh and Canada dry

[Verse 2]
Sinking like a Saskatoon sunset
Thinking that we had it from the outset
Tommy said that life was a highway, dear
But I became the road kill when you oversteered
Oh why, oh why?

[Chorus]
You’re leaving me high and Canada Dry
I’m out of your head and I’m losing my mind
Now listening to Joni’s making me cry
You’re leaving me high and Canada dry

[Break]
C G Fmaj7 G (x3)
Dm   G
Hiiiigh

[Bridge]
Dm              G                    C
  You fled the snow, while I stayed here
Dm              G                  Em
  I’ll let you know, I’ll make it clear
   A7          Fmaj7 G
How happy I appear

[Chorus]
High and Canada Dry
I’m out of your head and I’m losing my mind
Listening to Gordie is making me cry
You’re leaving me high
You’re leaving me high
You’re leaving me high
And Canada Dry

[Outro]
C G Fmaj7 G (x3)
Dm   G             C
Hiiiigh and Canada Dry
(End on C)

Lookin Up Chords by Barenaked Ladies

Lookin Up Chords by Barenaked Ladies

C:     x32010
G:     320003
Am:    x02210
F:     133211 or x34211

[Intro]
C G Am F (x2)

[Verse 1]
C           G              Am        F
Some people want to take a high dive into a drink
C           G                 Am          F
Some people want to watch the world swirl into the sink
C             G            Am         F
Why would you argue is the glass half full it's a mess
C           G           Am                F
I drank the first half, you can drink the rest

[Pre-Chorus]
C               G
One foot on the pedal
Am                F
  One hand on the wheel
C                      G
  Don't know where I'm headed
        Am          F
But it starts right here

[Chorus]
C            G
Everywhere I go is home
F
Every town and every road
C               G
Every song I've ever known
F
Carried in my bones
C             G
I feel like a lightening strike
F
Every time I rock the mic
C               G
You can join me if you'd like
   Am            F
Or I'll go on my own,
(F)         C  G  Am F
I'm lookin' up
(F)         C  G  Am F
I'm lookin' up
(F)         C  G  Am F
All the way up
(F)         C  G  Am F
I'm lookin' up
All the way

[Verse 2]
Look at me now I think you'd find it hard to believe
Back in my yearbook, voted least likely to succeed
You go and worry 'bout the things you can't control
I can see the donut, you can see the hole

[Chorus]

[Instrumental]
C G Am F (x4)
G

Bringing It Home Chords by Barenaked Ladies

Bringing It Home Chords by Barenaked Ladies

Capo 3

Cadd9:      x32033
G:          320033
D:          xx0232
Em7:        022033
Em (barre): x79987
Baug:       xx9887
Asus4:      xx5770
Gsus4:      xx3550

[Intro]
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
D Em7 Cadd9 G

[Verse 1]
           Cadd9      G
It's not a Cinderella story
            Cadd9        G
It's not an overnight success
                  D                 Em7
Where everybody expects unlikely outcomes
             Cadd9            G
And I'm just somewhere in the mess
             Cadd9       G
It's not an underdog sensation
     Cadd9         G
Or a movie of the week
           D                 Em7
Anybody involved from the beginning
               Cadd9        G
Knows it's not just a lucky streak

[Chorus]
                 Cadd9
I'm bringing it home
    G
Forever after
Cadd9      G
It's in our bones
D        Em7
Stay at the house
             Cadd9       G
'Cause we're bringing it home
Cadd9     G
We raised the rafters
Cadd9   G
We made Rome
D         Em7
We bagged it up
          Cadd9       G
And we're bringing it home

[Verse 2]
It's not a simple right of passage
Where you just follow every step
Somebody took every single roadmap
And there just wasn't any left
So we found our own direction
Made our way to everyone
And now we look back on every misstep
And wonder how we got it done

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
        Em (barre)
I'm the quickest of the fast draws, stick it making slack jaws
Baug
Last of the last straws, slippin' till the ice thaws
Asus4
Swimming when it's ice cold, brimmin’ with the big bowl
Gsus4
Flavor never waiver, put the life in the Lifesaver
Em (barre)
Never ever let down, good to get down
Baug
Freaky like I'm Mickey D, I'm gonna make you my clown
Asus4
All's well that ends well, glad like I’m Gladwell
Gsus4
Days after Days Inn, I put my 10k's in

[Chorus] (x2)
D         Em7             Cadd9       G
We bagged it up and we're bringing it home.
(End on G)
