85 chords by Rilo Kiley

This is basically a stripped down, solo acoustic version. If you wanna play electric,
try using the bar chords.


intro (i play this twice):
e----------------15------|
B-----------15-----------|
G--7---12----------------|
D------------------------|
A------------------------|
E------------------------|

For the C chord, pluck the strings in this order: A D B G D G
For the Fmaj7 chord, pluck the strings in this order: D G B G D G (sometimes switch out the B with the
E string)

C Fmaj7 x6


Verse 1:
C      Fmaj7
I'm just of real sad folk
  C    Fmaj7
And '85 was our best year
  C       Fmaj7
And she says it gets much worse
    C       Fmaj7
Before it gets any better

Prechorus, strummed (you can absolutely still pluck this, i just play it this way):
Am      G         Fmaj7
 So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
 Am        G       Fmaj7 (hold)
I wonder why it doesn't keep her up at night

Like it does me

(under a solo)
C Fmaj7 x2


Verse 2:
C      Fmaj7
We talk the way you do
C     Fmaj7
 I have a sweet or two
  C    Fmaj7
For my only plus you say
    C       Fmaj7
They're getting bigger everyday


Pre-chorus:
Am    G         Fmaj7
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
 Am        G       Fmaj7 (hold)
I wonder why it doesn't keep him up at night

Like it does me

(under a solo)
C Fmaj7 x2


Chorus:
Am   G    Fmaj7
I'll be in your car
Am      G      Fmaj7
I locked the keys in your car
Am   G    Fmaj7
I'll be in your car for now

C Fmaj7 x2


Verse 3:
C     Fmaj7
You wanna fool around? I ask
C    Fmaj7
I get a sour reply
C       Fmaj7
From the other wheel
      C       Fmaj7
That always rises to the occasion


Pre-chorus:
Am    G         Fmaj7
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
 Am        G       Fmaj7 (hold)
I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night

(under a solo)
C Fmaj7 x 2


Chorus:
Am   G    Fmaj7
I'll be in your car
Am      G      Fmaj7
I locked the keys in your car
Am   G    Fmaj7
I'll be in your car for now

(under another solo)
C Fmaj7 x a lot
hold an Fmaj7 and some point and then strum the chords each only once and holding it:

C Fmaj7 x 2

then, again strumming each chord only once and holding it:


Verse 4:
C      Fmaj7       C
I've been a mess for some time now
   Fmaj7
I get what I deserve
 C       Fmaj7      C
For someone who leaves behind a life
      Fmaj7
I can't do better


Pre-chorus:
Am    G         Fmaj7
So I take it with a grain of salt for the other means
 Am        G       Fmaj7 (hold)
I wonder why it doesn't keep you up at night

(Up at night, up at night, up at night)

Like it does me
