The Prize Chords - Semisonic

Intro

Strumming on D (6 bars or so)-see note below

Verse1

D Night of a thousand verses D Am One thousand friends said have you heard G D What we expected D We are all working late and D Am Waiting to win a prize that we dont deserve G D And live to collect it

Chorus

F#m G Cant you see Im weary Em C D Maybe this news can wait

Verse2

Night of a thousand verses One thousand strivers strain to hear The voice thats left us Magazines still have to sell us Twelve master geniuses a year Its all so shameless

Chorus

Repeat 2x, second time "Worried" not "Weary"

Bridge

B C G Maybe there was a message in it Em (I dont know where you hid it) B C G Maybe there was a P stamp with it Em (I dont know where to fit it) B C G Tell me what kind of prize can you get Em (When you dont want to win it) Then back to D for a few bars. Then once through verse and chorus, with no words, and with distorted guitar on top. Then back to bridge exactly as above Then chorus 2x. When strumming on D there is a little riff that is D/E/F#/F#/G/F# (notes, not chords). If you're playing D in the second fret, you can try to pick it while holding the chord, like this:

{tab: E|---2------0---2---2---4h--2p}

{tab: B|---3---3--------------------}

{tab: G|---1------------------------}

{tab: D|----------------------------}

{tab: A|----------------------------}

{tab: E|---------------------------- }
