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

Erica's Word
(See CHORUS for INTRO chords)

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

Erica's news, singing the praise and playing the blues
Cm              D#        F#              B#        C#
Pulling the rug out under my shoes
G#                   D#
Twelve years ago
A#m            C#              D#      A#m
Shorthand allegiance to the long throw
G#                                  D#
Make believe and pretend
A#m             C#              D#               A#m
I remember when they served the same end
         E#m     D#   B#m   A#
You always liked the     photo of us
E#m    D#  B#m   A#
Sitting in    our    car
                           D#
Just like we're driving
                    G#        D#            A#m          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               D#            B#m   A#
Maybe you'll find that   promised love
        E#m  D#    B#m   A#
The tingle to      the     touch
                 D#                                    G#        D#  A#m
A#m(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
