Auto-scroll

Video References - Live on iHeartRadio https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKgoF64zVRk Once you get the [Intro] down, you're pretty much almost there, it's reused quite a bit. In that section, there are a few spots where one would be tempted to use hammer-ons, but they are just well-timed chord changes in-sync with the strums. To make things a bit more colorful, John changes the accents on the strumming and skips/adds hammer-ons here and there, check the videos for reference. Good luck! And as usual, do let me know if you find any mistakes [Intro]

*********************************** | / Slide-up | h Hammer-on *********************************** Lyrics [Verse 1] I guess I just feel like I guess I just feel like Nobody's honest, nobody's true Everyone's lyin' to make it on through I guess I just feel like I'm the same way too [Instrumental 1] [Verse 2] I guess I just feel like Good things are gone And the weight of my worries Is too much to take on I think I remember the dream that I had That love's gonna save us from a world that's gone mad I guess I just feel like What happened to that? [Instrumental 2] [Verse 3] I guess I just feel like The joke's gettin' old The future is fading And the past is on hold But I know that I'm open and I know that I'm free And I'll always let hope in wherever I'll be And if I go blind, I'd still find my way I guess I just felt like Givin' up today
