Chords

Key: A major or power chords) Another barnburner of a tune from the kids over at ATC! The phrasing is really simple, the chord transitions just happen over and in-between words. The only part that some beginners might have issues comprehending is the chorus. Just play D for one bar, A for one bare and then E for two if you get confused by looking at here! Simples! To play chords with a capo, transpose down 2 semitones and place a capo on second. :) [Verse 1]
D
It's been a minute

            A
Everything's the same but different

        F#m
Everyone moved on or stayed too long

E
Doing the same things

D
Can't help but miss it

               A
Thought I might come back and visit you

     F#m         
And I moved on but we've still got

               E
A whole lot of history
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Is it too late?

               A
I know we went separate ways

           F#m
But I just wanted to say
Hey [Chorus]
            D
Yo, I'm back home for the weekend

A                                   E  
Called you up but you were sleeping
I wanna do those things we used to do
             D
Back when we ran these neighbourhood streets

A                                 E  
Wrote our names in the wet cement
We can't go back again
                                   D    A
But we can pretend for one more weekend

            E 
One more weekend
[Verse 2]
D 
We said forever

      A                                    
Never thought our time together'd ever stop

F#m
But it did and we're not kids anymore

D
I've got our photos in a drawer

A
People don't keep those anymore

F#m                                E
But I did, can't get rid of who we were before
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Is it too late?

               A
I know we went separate ways

           F#m
But I just wanted to say
Hey [Chorus]
            D
Yo, I'm back home for the weekend

A                                   E  
Called you up but you were sleeping
I wanna do those things we used to do
             D
Back when we ran these neighbourhood streets

A                                 E  
Wrote our names in the wet cement
We can't go back again
                                   D    A
But we can pretend for one more weekend

            E 
One more weekend
[Bridge]
D           A                        F#m 
Monday will wash away the fantasies

                     A                 D
We'll have to go back and face reality

                 A                         F#m
But we've got forever between now and then

           E
We can pretend
[Final Chorus] (The first two bars don't have chords so feel free to improvise or clap along and smile :)
            D
Yo, I'm back home for the weekend

A                                   E  
Called you up but you were sleeping

             D
Back when we ran these neighbourhood streets

A                                 E  
Wrote our names in the wet cement
We can't go back again
                                   D    A
But we can pretend for one more weekend

            E 
One more weekend

We can pretend for one more weekend

One more weekend
One more weekend, yeah
