Night Shift by Lucy Dacus - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Lucy Dacus Song List
Version 1
            *Note: This song is actually played in open D, but I think this works well for standard tuning.*

Suggested voicings:
D/C#       x40232
Gadd#11    3x0423

*I tend to play Gadd#11/D in the first Verse and Chorus, then shift to Gadd#11 with the G in the bass.

This song is in two parts, after the last [Chorus] we switch from the key of D to A.

In the [Refrain], use barre chords and slide up from E when you switch to A at the 5th fret:
e|--------0/5--------|
B|--------0/5--------|
G|--------1/6--------|
D|--------2/7--------|
A|--------2/7--------|
E|--------0/5--------|

An example of how you might imitate the solo:
e|---5------5---5----|
B|---5--7-----7------|
G|---6---------------|
D|---7---------------|
A|---7---------------|
E|---5---------------|

[Intro]
D  D/C#  D  Gadd#11

[Verse 1]
    D            D/C#       E                         D            D/C#    Gadd#11
The first time I tasted somebody else's spit, I had a coughing fit
     D        D/C#               E
I mistakenly called them by your name
          D        D/C#       Gadd#11
I was let down, it wasn't the same
          D D/C# E                            D    D/C#
I'm doing fine, trying to derail my one track mind
  Gadd#11                            D
Regaining my self-worth in record time
 D/C#       E                       D          D/C#          Gadd#11
But I can't help but think of your other in the bed that was mine
       D     D/C#           E                         D
Am I a masochist, resisting urges to punch you in the teeth
 D/C#                Gadd#11
Call you a bitch and leave?
          D           D/C#                E
Why did I come here? To sit and watch you stare at your feet?
             D                D/C#              Gadd#11
What was the plan? Absolve your guilt and shake hands?

[Chorus]
D                    D/C#
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
D                    Gadd#11
But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt
D          D/C#        E
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down
Gadd#11                F#
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell

[Instrumental Break]
D E D Gadd#11

[Verse 2]
      D  D/C#     E                D    D/C#          Gadd#11
Don't hold your breath, forget you ever saw me at my best
           D         D/C#          E
You don't deserve what you don't respect
                        D              D/C#   Gadd#11
Don't deserve what you say you love and then neglect
    D D/C#    E                D            D/C#    Gadd#11
Now bite your tongue, it's too dangerous to fall so young
                   D    D/C#
Take back what you said
E                   D  D/C#    Gadd#11
Can't lose what you never had

[Chorus]
D                      D/C#
I feel no need to forgive but I might as well
D                    Gadd#11
But let me kiss your lips so I know how it felt
D          D/C#        E
Pay for my coffee and leave before the sun goes down
Gadd#11                F#                   D    D/C#    A
Walk for hours in the dark feeling all hell

[Refrain]
A                                  D
You got a 9 to 5, so I'll take the night shift
     E                                A
And I'll never see you again if I can help it
                                          D
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
F         E       A
Dedicated to new lovers

[Refrain]
A                                  D
You got a 9 to 5, so I'll take the night shift
     E                                A
And I'll never see you again if I can help it
                                          D
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
F         E       A
Dedicated to new lovers

And I'll never see you again if I can help it
                                          D
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
F         E       D       A
Dedicated to new lovers
