Figure It Out chords

Figure It Out

• E

This song’s actually played on a bass, so in reality most of the ‘chords’ are actually single 
notes. But you can get a reasonably similar sound by just busting out the good ol’ power chord 
(i.e. root and fifth, no third). So when you read E in this chord chart, play E5.

Two bars of E with a D hammer-on for the intro and main riff – to get the rhythm, just listen to
the record to figure it out (ba dum ching!)


E 
Nothing here to see, just a kid like me

Trying to cuss and see, trying to figure it out
A                 G                     F#  
Nothin’ better to do, when I'm stuck on you
               F                         E 
And still I'm here, trying to figure it out

E 
Getting hard to sleep, but it is in my dreams

But it's killing me, to try and figure it out
A                  G                     F# 
Nothing better to do, when I'm stuck on you
               F                         E 
And still I'm here, trying to figure it out
