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)
