Chords

[Intro] G C G x2 [Verse 1]
G
It helps me to pretend that there's a song in my guitar

         C
Should I go up to my room, or should I stay here at the bar?

      D
After searching for the sound, I put the wood and steel down

           G
Having not got far
[Verse 2]
G
Sometimes I swear I hear it, ringing in my ears

           C
But to try too hard to find it is the sum of all my fears

          D
I let the chorus be the hearse, for every dead forgotten verse

             G
I've carried through the years
[Pre-Chorus]
N.C.                      G                 C      C
It's like the perfect melody is hidden in a tomb . . .

    D
And every misplaced note.
The ones I stole, the ones I wrote
         C              G
All just self-inflicted wounds
[Chorus]
                Em         Bm
Memory as an instrument is flawed

Bm         C                Bm             Am
It lets me live inside the dream I swear I saw

             D
Don't try to polish up what should stay raw

N.C.         G
It's just a song
[Interlude] G G7 C D D7 G C G [Verse 3]
G
Everyone is looking for it, wondering where it's at

          C
And the radio now is just a tourist trap

      D
Every musical mistake, every bad middle eight

               G
Just leaves me flat
[Verse 4]
G
So if you've got it in you, I can get it out

G7     C
And it can't be a sin to live with one's own doubts

         D
When the tape a starts a-rollin', you shouldn't scream or shout

                     G
Just sing your heart out
[Pre-Chorus]
N.C.                      G                 C      C
It's like the perfect melody is hidden in a tomb . . .

    D
And every misplaced note.
The ones I stole, the ones I wrote
         C              G
All just self-inflicted wounds
[Chorus]
                Em         Bm
Memory as an instrument is flawed

Bm         C                Bm             Am
It lets me live inside the dream I swear I saw

             D
Don't try to polish up what should stay raw

             Em      G
It's just a song
[Outro]
              Am                              D
Don't have to think that every note is wrong

                     C    G
It's just a soooooooooooong
