Chords
The strumming pattern - if you aren't going to do the picking - has a bit of a swing feel to it.
I HIGHLY suggest playing along with the song quite a bit to get the hang of that.
The basic picking pattern is this with each chord:
e|-------------------------| B|----------X--X-----------| G|----------X--X-----------| D|----------X--X-----------| A|--X--X-------------------| E|-------------------------|
[Verse 1]
B Hold my head a little higher A Can't you tell I love a liar? E I know what I look like to you B I would say it's excessive A Or maybe damn impressive E I'll admit I'm confused
[Pre-Chorus]
B I've gotta remember A That I'm just a toy E 'Til you got my hopes up E7 And now I'm annoyed B You thought you could charm me A And, damn it, you're right E So watch me fall for every damn stereotype
[Chorus]
B You can't help it G D F# This is just how we were taught to love Bm G Oh, there's a name for boys like you D And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines F# I hate that they shake me up every time
[Interlude]
B
(with the swing picking style)[Verse 2]
B Hold my hand for just a second A See you soon, what do we reckon? E Maybe I'm not just a friend B But we're so close, I thought we'd kiss A Turns out you're just good at this E But how 'bout you do it again?
[Pre-Chorus]
B Oh no, I've gotta remember A That I'm just a toy E 'Til you got my hopes up E7 And now I'm annoyed B You thought you could charm me A And, damn it, you're right E So watch me fall for every damn stereotype
[Chorus]
B You can't help it G D F# This is just how we were taught to love Bm G Oh, there's a name for boys like you D And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines F# I hate that they shake me up every time Bm Guess I'll take it G D F# This is just how we were taught to love Bm G Oh, there's a name for boys like you D And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines F# I hate that they shake me up every time
[Bridge]
Bm They tell me, "Don't go there G We know you love a nightmare D There's more than a crush here F# Why aim to be crushed here?" Bm They tell me, "Don't go there G We know you love a nightmare D There's more than a crush here F# Why aim to be crushed here?" Bm G D F# B Oh, there's a name for boys like you Bm (They tell me, "Don't go there G We know you love a nightmare D There's more than a crush here F# Why aim to be crushed here?" Bm They tell me, "Don't go there G We know you love a nightmare D There's more than a crush here F# N.C. Why aim to")
[Chorus]
B You can't help it G D F# This is just how we were taught to love Bm G Oh, there's a name for boys like you D And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines F# I hate that they shake me up every time Bm Guess I'll take it G D F# This is just how we were taught to love Bm G Oh, there's a name for boys like you D And yet I feel lucky to hear all your lines F# N.C. I hate that they shake me up every time
