Chords
The original is mostly piano but it sounds okay on guitar if you use all barre chords
(I'm also working on the accompanying tab and bass part)
[Intro]
G F#m G F#m G G A
(Repeats 8 times; drum groove comes in after 4; tab comes in after 6)
(N.C., only bass)
G F#m G F#m Everything you say is a bridge G A Everything you do is water under it G F#m G F#m These are not the original lyrics G A Such a worthless waste of time to write about
(Chords come in)
G F#m G Every bit of you that I don't love F#m G A Is filled up with my hate G F#m G I was a situation F#m G A That you were glad went away G F#m G F#m Move move forward like a human being G A (sometimes you have to kill things to impress your friends) G F#m G F#m You probably looked like an idiot in that hat G A (used to feel bad about crushing ants)
(why why why why why to die)
G F#m G F#m G A I can't go back to not understanding what you mean to me G F#m G F#m G A I’m turning into the person that you were afraid I’d turn out to be
(Tab for 2 chord progresssions)
(N.C., only bass)
G F#m G F#m There is something in me that can only give G A There is something in you that can only give out G F#m G F#m G When you hear my songs do you get that feeling A And if not, what the hell were you hearing?
(Chords come in)
G F#m G F#m G I am not crazy, I am right A G What do you mean? what are saying to me? F#m G F#m G I was just another bird you touched A Whose mother won't take him back G F#m G F#m I’m sorry I misheard your lyrics G A (tried to smile but it didn’t show up in the photograph) G F#m G I was searching for a soul to sell my devils to F#m G A (all I wanted was sleep and you took it away)
(yes yes yes yes yes I dislike I hate)
G F#m G F#m G A Did you do something wrong was there something you did that I could blame G F#m G F#m G A I thought I was open I thought I was intimate and then you asked me my name
(N.C., only bass and tab)
G F#m G F#m By the time they send the lifeboats G A I won’t want to leave the island G F#m G F#m Calling out to distant shorelines G A Calling out for different basslines
(bass solo for 2 chord progressions, tab for 2)
(with only chords on top)
*AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH*
(for two more chord progressions)
(with chords)
G F#m G F#m G A I can’t go back to not understanding what you mean to me G F#m G F#m G A I’m turning into the person that you were afraid that I’d turn out to be G F#m G Did you do something F#m G A Was there something you did that I could blame? G F#m G I thought I was open F#m G A I thought I was intimate and then you asked me my name
(N.C., only bass and groove)
G F#m G F#m G A Ooh, it was nothing special G F#m G F#m G A Ooh, it was nothing sacred G Just hands held F#m G And shoulders rubbed F#m G And voices touched A In holy harmony
(4 bars of drum groove at the end)
