Foundations


Newton Faulkner's cover of Kate Nash's Foundations on Radio One's Live Lounge with Jo Whiley. I couldn't find chords for this cover anywhere so I thought what the hell. I personally prefer this version to the original =D ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ab C# Thursday night and everything's fine Ab C# Except you've got that look in your eye Ab C# When you're telling a story and you find it boring Eb C# You're thinking of something to say You'll go along with it then drop it And humiliate me, in front of our friends Then I'll use that voice that you find annoying And say something like, "Yes intelligent input darling. Why don't you have another glass of wine?" Then you'll call me a -- And everyone we're with will be embarrassed And I won't give a sh... CHORUS: Fm My fingertips are holding onto Eb The cracks in our foundation Fm Eb C# And I know that I should let go, but I can't Fm Eb C# And every time we fight I know it's not right Eb Fm Every time you get upset and I smile Eb C# I know I should forget, but I can't Oh you said I must eat so many lemons 'Cause I am so bitter I said, "I'd rather be with your friends mate 'Cause they all much fitter" Yes it was childish and you got aggressive And I must admit, I was a bit scared It gives me thrills to wind you up CHORUS: Oh my fingertips are holding onto The cracks in our foundation And I know that I should let go, but I can't And every time we fight I know it's not right Every time I get upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't Your face is pasty 'cause you've gone and got so wasted What a surprise, I can't look at your face 'cause it's makin' me sick You've gone and got sick on my trainers I only got these yesterday Oh my gosh, I can't be bothered with this CHORUS: My fingertips are holding onto The cracks in our foundation And I know that I should let go, but I can't And every time we fight I know it's not right Every time I get upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't Oh my fingertips are moulding into the shape of a crustacean And I try to play with Lego, but I can't And every time we fight I know it's not right Every time you get upset and I smile I know I should forget, but I can't ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rest of the chords for the verse and chorus are the same so I didn't put them in. Strumming's a bit tricky though. Listen to the recording and try playing along with it. It sounds awesome with bongos. I'm not sure if he uses a capo ornot. This is the no-capo version. Comments/corrections are appreciated.
