Chords
This fantastic, stripped-back song from the new album revolves around a
descending bassline, fingerpicked thumb, index, middle & ring like:
Em Em/D Em/C# Em/C e|-----3---------0--------0---------0--| B|-----5---------0--------0---------0--| G|---4---------0--------0---------0----| D|-2---------0-------------------------| A|--------------------4---------3------| E|-------------------------------------|
Only major changes are plucking G and B string with middle and ring
on Bm7, and the end of the outro. These are also embellished during
the chorus. Chord voicings are listed at bottom. Enjoy!
[Intro]
| Em | Em |
[Verse 1]
Em Em/D "Don't go borrowin' trouble," that's what you used to say Em/C# Em/C But we don't keep in touch the way we used to nowadays Em Em/D Your eyes are not as bright as I remember them to be Em/C# Em/C Bm7 The light inside's grown dim and that's hard for me to see
[Verse 2]
Em Em/D The creases on your forehead run like treads on a tire Em/C# Em/C The white stripe runnin' through your bangs: a long, twisted spire Em Em/D You're sweepin' up the floods and you've been vacuumin' the fires Em/C# Em/C Bm7 And you lay down every night next to a goddamn liar
[Chorus]
Em Em/D You may be here today, but tomorrow, you're a ghost Em/C# Em/C I guess the most someone can hope for is to find a place to lay Em Em/D Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights get long and blue Em/C# Em/C Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses fall away Em/C Bm7 Strong enough to love you when you're wrong Em/C Bm7 Someone strong enough to love you when you're Em Em/D Em/C# Em/C Wrong
[Verse 3]
Em Em/D When the day is winding down, my heart abandons me for you Em/C# Em/C You forgot yourself so long ago and I wish I could too Em Em/D But you live inside a quiet hell no one can pray away Em/C# Em/C Bm7 Leavin' would be easy, I understand why you stay
[Chorus]
Em Em/D You may be here today, but tomorrow, you're a ghost Em/C# Em/C I guess the most someone can hope for is to find a place to lay Em Em/D Someone to tell your secrets to when the nights get long and blue Em/C# Em/C Someone strong enough to lean on when the roses fall away Em/C Bm7 Strong enough to love you when you're wrong Em/C Bm7 Someone strong enough to love you when you're Em Em/D Em/C# Em/C Wrong
[Verse 4]
Em Em/D You'd be wrong if you were thinkin' that we all don't fade away Em/C# Em/C Like dew drops in the dawn, like sun beams through the haze Em Em/D It's a long way to be sinkin', holdin' tightly to the weights Em/C# Em/C Bm7 Of the one who pulls you down while you slowly waste your days
[Chorus]
Em/C Bm7 Someone strong enough to love you when you're wrong Em/C Bm7 Someone strong enough to love you when you're Em Em/D Em/C# Em/C Wrong
[Coda]
Em Em/D Ooh ooh ooh ooh Em/C# Em/C When you're wrong
