Baritone ukulele cover of Instant Crush by Daft Punk from the album, Random Access Memories.
Chords and Lyrics:
[Intro]
F Dm Am G
F Dm
[Verse]
Am
I didn't want to be the one to forget
G
I thought of everything I'd never regret
F
A little time with you is all that I get
Dm
That's all we need because it's all we can take
Am
One thing I never see the same when you're 'round
G
I don't believe in him, his lips on the ground.
F
I want to take you to that place in the Roche
Dm
But no one gives us any time anymore
Am
He asked me once if I'd look in on his dog
G
You made an offer for it, then you ran off
F
I got a picture of us kids in my head
Dm
And all I hear is the last thing that you said:
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
"I listened to your problems, now listen to mine"
G
I didn't want to anymore
[Chorus]
Am F
And we will never be alone again
Dm
Cause it doesn't happen everyday
G
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Am
Can I give it up or give it away
F
Now I thought about what I wanna say
Dm
But I never really know where to go
G
So I chained myself to a friend
Am
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
F
And we will never be alone again
Dm
Cause it doesn't happen everyday
G
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Am
Can I give it up or give it away
F
Now I thought about what I wanna say
Dm
But I never really know where to go
G
So I chained myself to a friend
F Dm
Some more again
[Verse]
Am
It didn't matter what they wanted to see
G
You thought he saw someone that looked just like me
F
The summer memory that just never dies
Dm
We worked too long and hard to give it no time
Am
He sees right through me, it's so easy with lies
G
Cracks in the road that I would try and disguise
F
He runs the scissor at the seam in the wall
Dm
He cannot break it down or else he would fall
Am
1000 lonely stars
G
Hiding in the cold
F Dm
Take it, oh I don't wanna sing anymore
[Instrumental]
Am G F Dm
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
"I listened to your problems, now listen to mine"
G
I didn't want to anymore
[Chorus]
Am F
And we will never be alone again
Dm
Cause it doesn't happen everyday
G
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Am
Can I give it up or give it away
F
Now I thought about what I wanna say
Dm
But I never really know where to go
G
So I chained myself to a friend
Am
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
F
And we will never be alone again
Dm
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
G
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Am
Can I give it up or give it away
F
Now I thought about what I wanna say
Dm
But I never really know where to go
G
So I chained myself to a friend
Am
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
[Bridge]
Am F
(I) don't understand,
Dm
don't get upset,
G
I'm not with you.
Am F
We're swimming around,
Dm G
It's all I do when I'm with you
[Chorus]
Am F
And we will never be alone again
Dm
Cause it doesn't happen everyday
G
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Am
Can I give it up or give it away
F
Now I thought about what I wanna say
Dm
But I never really know where to go
G
So I chained myself to a friend
Am
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
F
And we will never be alone again
Dm
'Cause it doesn't happen everyday
G
Kinda counted on you being a friend
Am
Can I give it up or give it away
F
Now I thought about what I wanna say
Dm
But I never really know where to go
G
So I chained myself to a friend
Am
'Cause I know it unlocks like a door
[Outro]

I mentioned last email that Daft Punk just split up after more than 25 years of sweet, sweet music making.
Which is too bad, but hey, we still have their music to remember.
Da Funk. Harder Better Faster Stronger. Doin It Right. Etc…
Since middle school, Daft Punk has been one of my all-time favorite bands.
In fact, my friend Rudy and I used to listen to them every day for a summer…
We would play Daft Punk’s anime movie, “Interstella 5555” in the background while we did our workouts.
My friend Blake and I were obsessed with the “Daft Hands” video that went viral at the time.
“Something About Us” is still one of the only songs I can play on piano.
And I’ve listened to the entirety of the album “Random Access Memories” more times than I can count.
Pardon my reminiscing…
It’s a complete coincidence that I recorded a cover of theirs the other day…
So here’s your priority-access, first look at my cover of “Instant Crush”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41NtCL7MXcA
The original song features Julian Casablancas, the lead singer from The Strokes — another band that I love and do covers of.
Enjoy,
Daft Dylan
