Chords
This is a chord transcription from a promo copy of the album. The G chord Conor uses in
rhythm (which is what I'm transcribing) isn't a standard shape. I will site it as a G
it's a little different:
E|-3-| A|-x-| D|-0-| G|-0-| B|-3-| e|-x-|
And on the D during the verses you should play around with the chord a bit, I like to
the G string up with the rhythm. Just listen to the song and you'll understand.
C
C F C I´m just trying to stay a human being C F C Sitting in the sun eating ice cream C F C Texting my friend about a bad bad dream C F C Just had to tell someone who knows me C F C But I don´t got time for this cuckoo clock C F C And I don´t wanna go to your Mason Lodge C F C There´s nothing more sad than a lynching mob C F C Full of rational men who believe in God G But nothing makes sense when the wave rolls through G C Nothing makes sense when the wave come through G So it could have been me or it could have been you G C Whatever is in me is whatever is in you C F C My neighbor dreams big because his house is small C F C Says all he needs now is some capital C F C It´s a pirate world it´s a free-for-all C F C They take your bright ideas and they make them dull C F C But everyone I see I think I´ve known before C F C From the opera house to the grocery store C F C My love for them I cannot ignore C Like a human voice in a quiet morgue G But I don´t want to wear no dead man´s suit G C I don´t want to wear no dead man´s suit G I don´t want to wait until the moon gets blue G C I don´t want to wait until the moon turns blue Am G Well it´s all just a fix Am G Just one little hit C You'll hold it in C F C Sitting on a plane chewing nicorette C F C Paradise lost haven´t found it yet C F C Will you talk me down if I get upset´ C F C Be the cool washcloth to my fevered head G Because I don´t want to dream if it won´t come true G C I don´t want to dream if it don´t come true G If there´s something in me well I guess it´s in you G C If there´s somewhere in me then I know it´s in you
Solo - Same verse progression.
Am G Well it´s all just a fix Am G Just one little hit C You´re holding in C You´ll hold it in C You´re holding in C You´ll hold it in G And I don´t want to dream if it won´t come true G C I don´t want to dream if it don´t come true G If there´s something in me well I guess it´s in you G If there´s something in me well I guess it´s in you D Whatever happens to me it´s going to happen to you D Whatever happens to me it´s going to happen to you
