Wrong Star

• Am

This version of Wrong Star, from White Lung's third album Deep Fantasy, was performed by 
Mish Way
and Katie Crutchfield (of Waxahatchee) on Noisey Acoustics. I just wrote down the chords 
Katie played.
Watch the youtube clip, it's hauntingly beautiful! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqUjbjHM720

Katie plays the F-chord with the A switched out to a B, making it more of a 
Fadd11+-chord...? (Don't quote
me on that). To make things easier, I'll write a simple "F" and you can make up your own 
mind whether
you want to put in the add11. The Fadd11 sounds a bit more dissonant by itself, but 
works out _really_ well
while playing it (as you might've noticed in the youtube video).

verse
     Am           F
We belong in the tar
           Am                          F
Throwing pennies, burning light into scars
        Am             F
If you die, I don't survive
              Am                         F
The truth is just a word between you and I, so you tell me

pre-chorus
Am G F
     What I know
Am G F
     What I know

transition
F

chorus
Am          G       F
   You were born under
Am          G    F
   You were bred right
Am            G     F
   You're the wrong star
Am          G
   (You were wrong)

verse
Your name in my arm
Burn it fast or he'll take your charm
I'll scream, I'll hurt for you
Break the glass, kill that girl, swallow two, you tell me

pre-chorus
What I know
What I know

transition

chorus
You were born under
You were bred right
You're the wrong star
You were wrong

transition
Am G

bridge
F        Am
  We lay   all night
F      Am
Frozen.   but not quite
F     G    Am
Scratching    the white
F         Am
Out of us,   out of us

these lyrics is not on the acoustic version, but hey, sing this part too if you want
We do
We do
And it's you

transition
Am G F (x3, and on the fourth time, keep playing F)

chorus
You were born under
You were bred right
You're the wrong star
You were wrong
