Chords
I play this on classical guitar. When playing A's and D's throw in occasional
hammers on the 2nd and 3rd fret.
D Well the songs you sung spiraled F#m And hung 'round like echoes Em A Or ripples on a pond D So you circled the globe F#m Spent a year on the road Em A Without ever going home D More than a couple of days, F#m Then you’d leave right away Em A Run to a girl you barely know D But you like how she sings F#m And you can’t help but think Em A That there’s something that she knows and could teach you Em A While you’re sleeping in that southern state Em A Where the bars are filled with people you can’t hate Em But try as you try A You still can’t relate to them Em A And you drink that whiskey down
As they ask you,
Bm G D “Are you who you say you are?” Bm G D Are you who you say that you are? Bm G D Are you who you say that you are, you… D D Are you who you say that you are? Bm G D Em G Are you who you say you are? A The fact that you can’t tell makes us like you even more
D F#m Em A
D So now you’re trying again F#m Or just visiting friends Em A One had just had his heart broke D For the first time in his life F#m He realized there are times Em A When you can’t make it alone D But now you’re giving advice F#m As if you had the right Em A To use a word like “love” D It’s a negotiable term F#m What gets said’s not what’s heard Em A So it’s different then for everyone Em A But you're still hanging ‘round that college town Em A With your…your new life your new lover you’ve found Em A And you’re keeping her up at night, bringing her down Em A She’ll watch you drink yourself to death
But won’t ask you,
Bm G D “is this really what you want?” Bm G D Is this really what you want? Bm G D Is this really what you is this what... Bm G Is this really what you want? Bm G D Em G Is this really what you want? A D, F#m Are you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got? Em A D, F#m Are you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got? Em Yeah that’s it, I think you’re sticking with me now A Because I’m all you’ve got
D, F#m, Em, A
