================================ "Riptide" ================================ album _Set The Twilight Reeling_ (Lou Reed, 1996) written by Lou Reed ================================ She's out of her mind like the wind in a storm Oh, like the ocean at dawn as it disappears, with the riptide She's out of her mind she's pulled away by the moon She's ripped from her sleep as the cold lunar sweep gains control Ooohhh, what you gonna do with your emotions Ah-ah, ones you barely recognize In your sleep I heard your screaming, ooohhh "This is not voluntary, this is not voluntary If this is life I'd rather die" In the riptide in the riptide She's out of her mind, riptide like a muscle that swells You know when you trip whether you're well or sick, your body aches She's out with the tide gone to a prisoner's dance Where a monkey's her date eating limbs off a plate with a spoon Ooohhh, what you gonna do with your emotions said the seagull to the loon What you gonna do with your emotions She said, "Please wake me up" She said, "Don't touch me now" She said, "I wish I was dead" With the riptide She's out of her mind riptide, you always win It happens over and over again riptide She's out of her mind like a hurricane's rain She does not stand a chance at this lunar dance, riptide I was thinking of van Gogh's last painting the wheatfields and the crows Is that perhaps what you've been feeling When you see the ground as you fall from the sky As the floors disappears from beneath your feet riptide She's going out of her mind out with the tide Out of her mind riptide She's going out of her mind, ah ah, with the riptide She's going out of her mind, ah ah, riptide intro feedback guitar improvisation (key in E) {E}{E}{E}{E} drums {E}{E}{E}{E} {E}{E}{E}{E} {E}{E} (She's -) {E}{E}{G}{G} (- out of her mind ...) {Amaj7}{Am}{E}{E} (Oh, like the ocean at ...) {E}{E}{G}{G} (She's out of her mind ...) {Amaj7}{Cm/Cm7}{G}{G} (- ripped from her sleep ...) {D}{Em}{C}{C} (Ooohhh, what you gonna do ...) {D}{Em}{C}{C} (In your sleep I heard your ...) {C}{D}{D} (If this is life I'd ...) chorus {G/G(onF#)}{G(onF)} (- riptide, in the riptide) {G/G(onF#)}{G(onF)} (She's out of her -) {E}{E}{G}{G} (- mind, riptide, like a ...) {Amaj7}{Am}{E}{E} (- when you trip, Whether ...) {E}{E}{G}{G} (- out with the tide ...) {Amaj7}{Cm/Cm7}{G}{G} (- monkey's her date, eating ...) {D}{Em}{C}{C} (Ooohhh, what you gonna do ...) {D}{Em} (What you gonna do with ...) break {C}{C}{C} (She said, "Please wake me up ...) {D}{D} (- dead", With the -) chorus {G/G(onF#)}{G(onF)} (- riptide) break {G/G(onF#)}{G(onF)} (She's out of her -) {E}{E}{G}{G} (- mind, riptide, you ...) {Amaj7}{Am}{E}{E} (- over and over again, riptide) {E}{E}{G}{G} (She's out of her mind ...) {Amaj7}{Cm/Cm7}{G}{G} (- not stand a chance, at ...) {D}{Em}{C}{C} (I was thinking of van Gogh's ...) {D}{Em}{C}{C} (Is that perhaps what you've ...) {C}{D}{D} (- floors disappears from ...) chorus {G/G(onF#)}{G(onF)} (- mind, out with the -) {G/G(onF#)}{G(onF)} (- tide, out of her mind) {G/G(onF#)}{G(onF)} (- mind, riptide) {E}{E}{C}{Cm/Cm7} (She's going out of her mind ...) {G}{Em}{C}{Cm/Cm7} (- riptide, She's going out ...) chorus {G/G(onF#)}{G(onF)} (- riptide) {G/G(onF#)}{G(onF)} guitar {E}{E}{E}{E} {E}{E}{E}{E} {E}{E}{E}{E} {E}{E}{E}{E} ... repeat E chords ... feedback guitar improvisation (key in E) ... {E. * chorus {G / G(onF#)} {G(onF) } 1e --------------------------------------- 2B ----0-0-0----0-0-0-----0-0-0----0-0-0-- 3G ----0-0-0----0-0-0-----0-0-0----0-0-0-- ... 4D ----0-0-0----0-0-0-----0-0-0----0-0-0-- 5A --------------------------------------- 6E --3--------2---------1--------1-------- *** please note *** h -
