Architecture in Helsinki - Contact High
------------------------------
Key of F#, ear-transcribed on ukulele by Neil Killer.
Key change to A for the final chorus.
------------------------------
They keep it simple with the 3-chord progression, but you can keep things 
interesting by sustaining, muting and changing your strumming pattern in 
different parts, like they do in the song. Watch for the chords in brackets, 
which I transcribed to match the cadences at the end of most of the verses.

INTRO:
F# - B - Ebm - Ebm

VERSE 1:
F#        B                      Ebm  Ebm
If one of these two walls could speak
            F#                  B              Ebm     Ebm
I'd turn the lights down long enough to hit repeat (babe)
             F#                 B
Right now my vision is gone and magic's to blame
     Ebm                   Ebm
It's silent down here, hey I want to get loud again
F#              B                         Ebm   Ebm
You'll hold the thunder while I bring the rain

PRE-CHORUS:
           F#                             B            Ebm  Ebm
I might be dancing doing nothing but I've had my share
             F#                           B               Ebm  (B - F#)
You've got a strange infatuation with the elements in the air

B                     Ebm

I've got nothing to hide

VERSE 2:
F#          B                      Ebm      Ebm
Four letter words won't hold any sway (uh uh)
         F#            B                                 Ebm  Ebm
And in a paradise that shakes the word "romantic" to the bone
F#                  B                  Ebm                  Ebm
Mystical forces are circling me, while perfect nostalgia is dating the enemy
F#                     B
Lost in the ether with no one to blame
     Ebm                    (B)           (Abm)
It's silent down here, maybe I want to get loud again
