Chords
Hey! I hope you enjoy this tab for Julien Baker's song Sucker Punch, specifically the version she
tab also works great for the original recording of the song.
Also don't be deterred or anything by the amount of chords as a lot of them are interchangable
(e.g. at the start of the bridge, playing the D Em G5/D* chord progression sounds fine if you don't
want to use the exact chords she plays at that point in the song).
As well as this, for the intro the first set of D Em and G5/D* chords listed below are used, and
then the second set are used for the rest of the song, aside from G5/D* where the chords are used more
interchangeably.
I hope that all made sense lol, enjoy!

D Em G5/D* D Too tired to fight anymore Em G5/D* D Got enough gas and time to waste Em G5/D* D Feel you in the highway braille Em G5/D* D Driving with my eyes shut, half-awake Em G5/D* D No one has to know Em G5/D* D Maybe if you turned the car around Em G5/D* D Just trying to get home Em G5/D* D Coming down the exits to your house Em G5/D* D Sleeping in my clothes Em G5/D* D Waking from a nightmare on your couch Em G5/D* D Thought I couldn't get much lower Em N.C. Nowhere else to go when you come down
