 Here's the basic chord progression.  The A-B-D progression is also
 used in the instrumental interlude.  If you don't want to bother with
 the Dsus2 and Bsus2 just play D and B instead, it will still sound
 good.
 
 ****************************************************************************
 
 A
 Go back to those gold soundz
             B             D
 And keep my affect to yourself
              A
 Because it's nothing that I don't like
         B                  D
 Is it a crisis or a boring change
           A
 When it's central, so essential
          B                  D
 It has a nice ring when you laugh
        A
 At the low-life opinions
             B                    D
 And they're coming to the chorus now
 
           F#m             Dsus2
 I keep my address to yourself
               Bsus2
 Cause we need secrets
         Dsus2
 We need secret, cret, cret, cret, crets
            A
 Back right now
 
 Because I never want to make you feel
 That you're social,  never ignorant soul
 Believe in what you want to do
 And do you think that is a major flaw
 When they rise up in the falling rain
 And if you stay around with your knuckles ground down
 The trials over, the weapon's found
 
 Keep my address to myself
 Cause it's secret
 Cause it's secret, cret, 
 cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,cret,
 Back right now
 
 So drunk in the august sun
 And you're the kind of girl I like
 Because you're empty, and I'm empty
 And you can never quarantine the past
 Did you remember in December
 That I won't eat you when I'm gone
 And if I go there ,I won't stay there
 Because I'm sitting here too long
 I've been sitting here too long
 And I've been wasting
 Allocating outward
 For the last word
 Last words come up
 All you've got to wait
 
 ****************************************************************************
 
 Now for some "Pavement chords".  First retune your guitar to
 C-G-D-G-B-B (fat E string down 4 frets in pitch, A string down 2 frets
 in pitch, thin E sting down 5 frets in pitch).  Once you've retuned
 these are the chord shapes:
 
      A(I)    A(II)     B(I)    B(II)  Bsus2    D(I)  D(II)   Dsus2
 F#m
 B-|------------------------------------------------------------------------
 B-|--2-------10--------4-------12-----4--------7-----15------7-------10----
 G-|--2--------9--------4-------11-----6--------7-----14------9-------11----
 D-|--2-------11--------4-------13-----4--------7-----16------7-------11----
 G-|--2--------9--------4-------11-----4--------7-----14------7-------11----
 C-|-----------9----------------11--------------------14--------------------
 
 The (I) or (II) just indicates position, e.g. A(I) is an A major,
 played in the first position (along the guitar neck), while A(II) is
 also A major but played in the second position.
 
 Note that the first string is not played in any of the above chords.
 Since the first and second strings are tuned the same, if you want,
 you can fret the first string the same as the second and play it.
 
 >From listening to the recording, I think the two guitars play as
 follows:
 
 verses:
    guitar 1:  A(I)  - B(I)  - D(I)
    guitar 2:  A(II) - A(II) - A(II)
 
 Here guitar 2 is playing the A(II) the whole time.  Listen for those
 high notes on the record, especially during the first verse when
 guitar 1 is quit.
 
 chorus:
    both: F#m - Dsus2 - Bsus2 - Dsus2
 
 intrumental interlude (roughly):
    guitar 1: A(I)  - B(I) - D(I)
    guitar 2: A(II) - B(II) - D(II)
 
 The interlude is pretty free form so this simple pattern isn't the
 whole story, but you can play around with these chords and find a lot
 of the sounds on the record.
