GUARANTEE THAT I'D BE LOVED - SONDRE LERCHE
Avatars of Love (2022) - track 1
** I really can't decide whether this song is in
DADGAD ("celtic") tuning or open D. It's a repeating
progression so I will just provide the chords in
both tunings and you can decide which one is more
comfortable to play. For what it's worth, I think
DADGAD is more comfortable generally (except for that
D/C chord, which is ugly in both tunings!)
** Also, there are no fully strummed chords because
the entire song is finger-picked with four-string
chords that are often broken (string-jumps instead
of four consecutive strings).
** The chord legend only works for the guitar parts,
as after the third verse the instrumentation shifts
and the harmonies drift further away from the beginning
(exs. Ab9 to Ab7alt [sounds like he is playing a cluster
in a whole-tone scale]; GM7 to GM9; Gm/Bb to Gm7/Bb)

[INTRO]

D Em11 D Em11
[VERSE I]
D Em11
He once was friend of mine
D Em11
Who needed me all the time
A7/C# D/C
How far would I be willing to go
G/B
To pull him back from the edge
Gm/Bb
To try to put him at ease
D/A
Or talk him off the ledge
Ab9
I had to keep him alive
GM7
I did whatever he pleased
A7/C#* D*
So maybe that would guarantee that I'd be loved
[VERSE II]
D Em11
She seemed like a safer bet
D Em11
Akin to a marionette
A7/C# D/C
How far would I be willing to go
G/B
Just to escape my own head
Gm/Bb
Or to try shift the mode
D/A
Some fight or flight like responsе
Ab9
Had left my body for dead
GM7
I tried to fеign nonchalance
A7/C#* D*
Oh, maybe that would guarantee that I'd be loved
[VERSE III]
D Em11
We both fell in love on stage
D Em11
Still teens, no longer underage
A7/C# D/C
How far would I be willing to go
G/B
To feel the warmth of her bed
Gm/Bb
To feel a part of her home
D/A
When she was trying to bloom
Ab9
I only felt in the way
GM7
Our kind of sweetness was doomed
A7/C#* D*
But had I stayed I would be guaranteed good love
[VERSE IV]
D Em11
She seemed inapproachable
D Em11
So proud, so inconsolable
A7/C# D/C
How far would I be willing to go
G6/B
To bring our creation to life
Gm7/Bb
To live up to our dreams
D/A
And cut myself down to size
Ab7alt
We came apart at the seams
GM9
But I would never dare say
A7/C#* D*
I thought it guaranteed that I could not be saved
[VERSE V]
D Em11
I longed for her long before
D Em11
Our paths crossed an open door
A7/C# D/C
How far would I be willing to go
G
For us to both reinvent
Gm6
One day I just couldn't tell
D
Her heartbeats from my own
Ab7alt
And I thought to myself
GM9
I've gone and done it again
A9 D
She was the greatest love that I had ever known
[INSTRUMENTAL]
D D/C# Em11 Em/A
D D/C# Em11 Em/A
A7/C# D/C
[VERSE VI]
D/C G/B
Turns out it wasn't enough
Gm9/Bb
I longed to live in a dream
D/A
Of everything I could be
Ab7alt
And she still echoed a world
GM9
I thought I wanted to flee
A7/C# D D/C#
And though she always guaranteed that I'd be loved
Em11/G
I let it all go
Gm7/Bb
I turned it all down
D/A
There was nothing to discuss
Ab7alt
Although I took all her time
GM9
Trying to give up on us
A7/C# D D/C# D
Give up the greatest guarantee that I'd be loved
[VERSE VII]
D Em11
He would have been four by now
D Em11
Our son, if he was around
A7/C# D/C
How far would I be willing to go
G/B
To not be weighed down by love
Gm/Bb
To never have to say no
D/A
I'd pull myself from the edge
Ab9
To put my baby at ease
GM7
I'd talk myself off the ledge
A7/C#* D*
If maybe that could guarantee that I'd be loved
