MGMT - Siberian Breaks Chords
 
by Ryan McGrath
 
Distinction between two different Cmaj7 chords
        and other specific voicings:
 
        Amadd9     =    x02410
        Cmaj7      =    x32410
        Cmaj7*     =    x32000
 
Note for Part D:
In this part of the song, when A major or E major is played, they
are rotating frequently between A and Asus4, and E and Esus4.
 
 
 
Part A (00:00 - 01:22):
 
        Amadd9  Cmaj7  Amadd9 Cmaj7
        Bbm     Cm     Bbm    Cm
        Amaj7
 
 
        Amadd9               Cmaj7
                Sleep as the goer
            Amadd9                  Cmaj7
        the bridge that watches the light speed through
        Bbm                 Cm
        And cries while the spirit stumbles
        Bbm               Cm                     Amaj7
        the inside missile for the protection of you
 
        Amadd9             Cmaj7
                Maybe it's silent
            Amadd9              Cmaj7
        the voice can't bear anymore strain
        Bbm                Cm
        but speaks without even knowing
            Bbm            Cm                        Amaj7
        and streams out of sight in the direction of truth
 
        Amaj7   Em     Amaj7  Em
 
 
Part B (01:23 - 01:51):
 
        Transition:
 
        |-----5-----5---5--|
        |---5-----5---5----|
        |-6-----7----------|
        |------------------|
        |------------------|
        |------------------|
 
        Gm                 C                 Dm
                There's no reason there's no secret to decode
        Gm                   C                 Dm           G
                if you can't save it, leave it dying on the road
        Gm                C                Dm       C
                wide open arms can feel so cold, so cold
        Feel so cold
 
 
Part C (01:52 - 02:09):
 
        Em      F#     D      C#m    Bm     E
 
 
Part D (02:10 - 04:44):
 
        Transition - Play A major until the singing comes in.
 
        A
        Balance the books, the ledges, the loons
                                     F#m
        the disappointed look on the faces
                           E
        that squint at the moon
        C#m                       Bm
        Let's see it with shadows enhanced
                 C#m                   D
        and then vote to decide who'll advance
 
        A
        Silver jet plane, making a turn
                                F#m                          E
        exciting the brain that expects it to crash and then burn
        C#m                             Bm
        it's not the life lesson I'd've guessed
        C#m                             D
        if you're conscious you must be depressed
                    A                   C#m
        or at least cynical
 
        Em
        But someone might still eat the steaks
        F#
        even if they're tough
 
        D
        Spending the day
        C#m
        chewing the fat
        Bm                  E                        A
        floating away isn't rough but it's not enough
 
        A
        Oh Marianne, pass me the joint
 
        the sandpaper's tan
 
           F#m                     E
        go-getters are surfing the point
            C#m                      Bm
        and London's a scratch on the lens
             C#m            D
        it's over before it begins
        A
        Silk 'round her neck falls down to her shoulders
                             F#m                      E
        the older I get, the more I suspect there's a trick
            C#m                        Bm
        but really there's no trick at all
             C#m                 D
        that doesn't result in a fall
             A                  C#m
        or a faltering
 
 
        Em
        But something might spit out the bait
        F#
        even if it's real
 
 
        D
        Rolling away
        C#m
        missing the spoke
        Bm                         E                  A       C#m
        close to the ground like a wheel but it's not joke
 
        D
        Holding the line
        C#m
        clutching the phone
        Bm                E                   A
        nobly wasting the night, but it isn't right
                          F#
        it's not right
 
 
        D
        Smelling for blood
        C#m
        praying for rain
        Bm                 E                   A
        running away isn't rough, but it's not enough
 
Let the last A chord ring.
 
 
Part E (04:56 - 05:59):
 
        Eb                      Gm                   Cm       Fm     Cm
                The low tide is telling me when it's over,
        Bb                    Dm            Gm
                to breathe in everything exposed
        Eb                      Gm                   Cm       Fm     Cm
                and comes back to cover me with a blanket
        Bb                    Dm            Gm
                being here's always changing tunes
        Cm      Bb     F      Eb     Dm     G
        Am      G      Em
 
 
Part F (06:07 - 08:21)
 
        Dm      G7     Am     G      Em     A
        Dm      G7     Am     G      Em     A
        Dm      G7     Am     G      Em     A
        Dm      G7     Am     G      Em     A
        Dm                G7                  Am               G   Em       A
                The empty sky surrounds me but I can't see at all
        Dm                G7               Am         G      Em     A
                wide open arms can feel so cold
        Dm                  G7                Am                G    Em     A
                and you can sit beside me and tell me what it's worth
        Dm                   G7               Am      G      Em     A
                but I hope I die before I get sold
        Dm               G7               Am          G      Em     A
                I hope I die before I get sold
        Dm                 G7               Am                G      Em     A
                I'd rather die before I get sold
 
 
Part G (08:22 - 08:58):
 
           Dm           C             Bdim
        If you find the soul that you lost
        E                   Am
                frozen in a starry void
        Dm      C                   G
        Take it within and hope the sight of blood
                          Cmaj7*
        can will signs of life to return
        Dm          C           Bdim
        Back to the way that it was
        E                      Am
                long before it made a noise
        Dm         C       G
        To keep on quietly reminding you
                     Cmaj7*
        what's never created or destroyed
 
 
Part H (08:59 - 09:11):
 
        Fmaj7  Cmaj7*
        Fmaj7  Cmaj7*
 
 
Part A (09:12 - 09:52):
 
        Amadd9              Cmaj7
                Wake as the swell peaks
            Amadd9                  Cmaj7
        the close-outs drowning the birds with roars
        Bbm                         Cm
                and howls scare the new unkindness
             Bbm              Cm             Amaj7
        that picks and laughs at the carrion scene
 
 
        Amadd9             Cmaj7
                Forces you see breathe
            Amadd9         Cmaj7
        can always go into hiding
        Bbm                      Cm
                and wait 'til it passes over
           Bbm                   Cm
        or stay far gone for all eternity
 
Let the final Cm chord ring.
 
 
Part I (09:55 - 12:10):
 
   A G#m A G#m A G#m
   A G#m A G#m A G#m
   A G#m A G#m A G#m
   A G#m A G#m A G#m
   A G#m A G#m
                ... Fade out
(Basically repeat these two chords until the fade-out)
