Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “President of What?” dari Death Cab for Cutie:

[Verse 1]
Em                       G                         C
I saw the scene unfold on a rainy Sunday
               Am
Creases indicating
C                              Am                        Em B Em B
Folds that kept four walls from caving in
Em                 G                                   C
I took a little more of what I take for granted
                       Am
And filled my plate with fear
C                                      Am                            Em B Em B
That gears would turn and wheels would roll away

[Chorus]
B                             A7              Em   B Em B
Something's got to break you down
B                             A7              Em   B Em B
Something's got to break you down

[Verse 2]
Em                                   G
Entered the scene (I'm told)
                           C
On I think it was Monday
                               Am
You drove straight through and mined that
C                    Am                       Em B Em B
Quarry for all it could bleed 'til dry
Em                          G                                   C
I took a little more 'til I got taken for granted

'Cause beautiful boys gave chase
                                      C
And when they arch your backbone
       Am                          Em B Em B
It's such a dreadful sight

[Chorus]
B                             A7               Em  B Em B
Something's got to break you down
B                             A7               Em  B Em B
Something's got to break you down

[Bridge]
B                             Am              E
And I'll react when faces find you
B                                Am                    E
With jealous fits that gag and bind you
B                                       Am           E
'Cause nothing hurts like nothing at all
B                            Am               E     Em
When imagination takes full control

[Interlude]
       B                                    Em                              B
For years, I've been closely watching parents and children
Em                            B                                     Em          B                        Em
I've noticed how the success of children later on really starts very early in the home
B                           Em                                  B                   Em
All boys and girls are born with their own special talents
                              B                                  Em                             B               Em
These talents have their greatest chance to grow in a friendly, loving home

[Ulangi Bridge]

[Outro]
Em           G               C    B
I saw the scene unfold
Em           G               C    B
I saw the scene unfold
Em           G               C    B
I saw the scene unfold
Em           G               C    B
I saw the scene unfold
