Poised and Ready Chords & Lyrics by Brendan Benson
Poised and Ready
guitar chords lyrics
All right guys.. First tab here. Have fun
I like playing this song mostly with bar chords... makes it simpler for me and
prob for everyone who's used to those. Just play with it and let me know what you think of it.
Oh on the 1st bridge after the first two lines there a pretty easy bass mini riff
you can probably figure out... adds a lot to the song. If not here it is...

Intro: C - G - Am - G
Verse 1
C
You're poised and ready
G
Unable to make a sound
Your hands are sweaty
Am
As you look down
You're running already
G
When you hit the ground
Verse 2 (same chords)
(C-G-Am-G)
You're willing and able
So nice to have around
The head of the table
Is tightly wound
The noise is loud
So turn it down
Chorus 1
F G
When you think about it
Em Am
Try to wrap your head around it
F
You find none of it
G A
Makes any sense at all
F G
And people you once trusted
Em Am
Are now looking so disgusted
F G
And they're waiting anxiously
D
For you to fall
Verse 3 (again same chords... as verse 1)
(C-G-Am-G)
You take for granted
And take what you can grab
Fore say what's landed
Into your lap
You shake the hand
And take a stab
Verse 4 (and again verse 1 chords)
(C-G-Am-G)
And there's no need to doubt it
There's never been
Two ways about it
It takes a thick skin
There's ways around it
But no way in
Chorus 2 (same as 1st chorus)
When you think about it
Try to wrap your head around it
You find none of it
Makes any sense at all
And people you once trusted
Are now looking so disgusted
And they're waiting anxiously
For you to fall
Bridge 1 (* = insert cool riff here)
Em Am
And there you go (*)
Em Am
Telling everybody you know (*)
Em Am
Selling a one man show
D
So take a look around you now
F
And soak it up and take a bow
Verse 4 (same as 1st verse)
(C-G-Am-G)
You're living and crawling
And trying to catch a breath
You're stalling and dying
A sudden death
And all the while
You second guess
Bridge 2 chords:
D - F#m - Bm - Bm/A - E
Ohh.. Ooh yeah.. Oooohhhh... Ohhh
Last 2 verses (verse chords change)
D (same on last 2)
And now the time has come
F#m
For it to stop
The clown was done
Bm
So call a cop
Bm/A
You're like a boy
A
In a china shop
You're poised and ready
Unable to make a sound
Your hands are sweaty
As you look down
You're running already
When you hit the ground
Outro chords:
D - Bm - A - D
