Foster the People – The things We Do Chords

[Verse 1]

Dm
Access granted you can misbehave
Dm
Throw away your constraints
Dm
Say the name with no regrets
     Dm
You never have to take it back
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

       Dm
Sayin' I don't wanna run around
    Dm
I'm carrying our only child
          Dm
Well, the static going through your hair
    Dm
The signal's crossed but it's clear
 
I can make it out
 
 
[Chorus]

D#  A#                           Gm       
All alone are the things that we do 
          F             C Dm D#
when we're left on our own
 
The things that we just love to hide
D#  A#                           Gm   
All alone are the things that we do

when no one's around
 
We're just playing in the underground
 
[Instrumental]

Am A# C Dm

[Verse 2]

    Dm
You throw up a prayer 

and then you move to another God
    Dm
You throw up a prayer 

and then you move to another God
Dm
Changing up the only one
Dm
Who gives away your voice
      Dm
Yeah, well I've given up all control
        Dm
Will it be enough to save the world
  Dm
I don't need to understand
      Dm
We're wisping around, and well I'll never know
 
 
[Chorus]

D#  A#                           Gm         
All alone are the things that we do 
          F             C Dm D#
when we're left on our own
 
The things that we just love to hide
D#  A#                           Gm   
All alone are the things that we do 
    F              C Dm D#
when no one's around
 
We're just playing in the underground

Dm
We cross lines for love
           G#
Some make it out
                            C
And some will never make it out
Dm         Cm                    A# Am
I, you are, you will, or you won't
          Dm
Come with me
 
 
[Outro]

     C                     D
Just play in the underground
        C                      A#
You can play in the underground
               Am                     Dm C
Yeah, well you can play in the underground
     Dm     C   A#
When we're all alone
    Am            Dm   Cm        Dm
The things that I wanna do with you
            C
When we can play
       A#   Am
We can play
       Dm
We can play
       C
We can play in the underground
