Starts on: Dm

The entire verse is basically a D minor chord played over different bass notes. If 
you listen closely, you can hear Chris Thile changing the bass note on his 
mandolin with each chord change, but its always over a Dm. When the song develops 
later, it sounds more complicated, but its the same basic idea. 

The chorus is pretty simple.

Dm                                  Dm/C
This is the song where I listen

Dm/Bb                             Dm/G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                              Dm/C 
I called the dogs off all the things I?m missing

    Dm/ Bb                                  Dm/G
And to everyone but you before I set sail


       Gm          Eb               Bb
I said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C
These are tough times

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm/G                              Dm7/ C
This is the song where you speak up

Dm/Bb                             Dm/ G
This is the song where you get moving

    Dm/G                               Dm/C
You cried some trouble out into a tea cup

       Dm/Bb                            Dm/G
And to me but no-one else before you threw it



         Gm                  Eb            Bb
You said good luck, good luck, good luck

          C
These are tough times 

          Eb
But we?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck


Dm Dm/C Dm/Bb Dm/G (4 times)


Dm                            Dm/C
I put ashore in front of our apartment

    Dm/Bb                                     Dm/G
And watched you comb the stoop for shards of porcelain

     Dm                                         Dm/C
Satisfied that there were none that broke the silence

         Dm/Bb                           Dm/G
And after this I promise not to interrupt again


      Dm/G                       Dm/C
Cause this is the song where I listen

Dm/Bb                       Dm/G
This is the song where I sit still

  Dm                                     Dm/C
Until our heartbeats drown out the clock ticking

       Dm/Bb                                  Dm/G
And the song is just I love you and always will


Gm          Eb         Bb
Good luck, good luck, good luck

          C
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck 

          C
these are tough times

          Eb
But We?ll get by

     Bb
Good luck
