here's Erica's Word by Game theory.  Hopefully more GT crds in the future.

Erica's Word
(See CHORUS for INTRO chords)

Ab                  Eb
Erica's gone shy
Bbm                    C#    Eb          Bbm
Some unknown X behind the Y
          Ab                Eb
All is some less today
Bbm              C#          Eb      Bbm
Mass not conserving in the old way
E#m          Eb B#m  Bb
Checking out with  Brother Jay
      E#m        Eb      B#m  Bb
I'll miss your half    of       me
                      Eb                            Ab                 Eb Bbm C#
Girl are you leaving something you might later ne -   ed?
(CHORUS)
Ab       Eb      Ab             C#            Cm               Eb
Cm      Eb
Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Ab        Eb      Ab               C#               Cm               Eb

Erica's news, singing the praise and playing the blues
Cm              Eb        F#              B#        C#
Pulling the rug out under my shoes
Ab                   Eb
Twelve years ago
Bbm            C#              Eb      Bbm
Shorthand allegiance to the long throw
Ab                                  Eb
Make believe and pretend
Bbm             C#              Eb               Bbm
I remember when they served the same end
         E#m     Eb   B#m   Bb
You always liked the     photo of us
E#m    Eb  B#m   Bb
Sitting in    our    car
                           Eb
Just like we're driving
                    Ab        Eb            Bbm          C#
Girl it's not looking like we'll go all that far
(Chorus)
Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Erica's find, blowing my hair and tearing my mind
Throwing for grabs and leaving behind
(SOLO over CHORUS chords)

E#m               Eb            B#m   Bb
Maybe you'll find that   promised love
        E#m  Eb    B#m   Bb
The tingle to      the     touch
                 Eb                                    Ab        Eb  Bbm
Bbm(sus4)
Girl and I hope it comes through for you in a clutch
      C#
But I wouldn't bet much

(CHORUS 2X)
Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Erica's news, singing the praise and playing the blues
Pulling the rug out under my shoes

Erica's find, blowing my hair and tearing my mind
Erica's word, taking me clear and leaving me blurred
Knocking me down from second to third
