Song
artist: Ben Folds Five
song: Evaporated
album: Whatever and Ever, Amen
trans.: Brent Ritchey (mxpx281@hotmail.com)
(the whole song has a fourth running through
it in the right hand. I think Ben might
be using two pianos on this song. Instead of
an F chord it's really C and F at middle C.)
INTRO
VERSE 1
What I've kept with me
F/Bb /C
And what I've thrown away
And where the hell I've ended up
On this glary, random day
/B /C F/D F/G
Were the things I really cared about
just left along the way
For being too pent up and proud
VERSE 2
Woke up way too late
feeling hungover and old
And the sun was shining bright
and I walked barefoot down the road
Started thinking 'bout my old man
It seems that all men
want to get into a car and go
any - where
CHORUS
Bbadd2 Cadd4 Cadd4/E F
Here I stand sad and free
Bbadd2 Cadd4 Cadd4/D /D /D#
I can't cry I can't see
Cadd4/E Bbadd2 Cadd4
What I've done
Cadd4/D Dm7/A F/Bb F/A
Oh God what have I done?
PIANO INTERLUDE
F F/A F/Bb (riff 1)
F F/A F/Bb (riff 2)
VERSE 3
Don't you know I'm numb, man
No I can't feel a thing at all
'Cause it's all smiles and business these days
And I'm indifferent to the loss
I think that there's a soul somewhere
that's leading me around
I wonder if she knows which way is down
CHORUS
Here I stand, sad and free
I can't cry, and I can't see
What I've done, oh God what have I done?
Abdim7 C Csus4 C
BRIDGE
I poured my heart out
I poured my heart out
It evaporated see?
VERSE 4
Blind man on a canyon's edge of a panoramic scene
Maybe I'm a kite that's flying high and random
Dangling on a string, or slumped over in a vacant room
Head on a stranger's knee
I'm sure back home they think I've lost my mind
CHORUS
Here I stand - sad and free
I can't cry and I can't see
What I've done
Oh God what have I done?
F F/A F/Bb (riff 1)
