Mayday Parade – A Shot Across The Bow (Ukulele)

A2
It's time I said this

                                                 F#m
But I'm so choked up and I need my sanity

       D2                                E                             A2
I'm scared, believe me, you can see me smile if you let me just stick around.

A2
Well this is bye-bye baby

                                     F#m
It isn't like a sudden stop on a freight train

     D2                               E                             A2
If you're not happy and you hurt this much, then let me just stick around.

                  D2                                          E
But can I have one second of your time?

                                       D2
If I don't it'll drive me crazy.

                                                    E
As I drop to my knees and scream,

A2     
I hope you fall into the ocean

E                                                  E/F                                F#m
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around

                                      E             D2              E
As the waves crash over you until you drown. 

A2
And hold a funeral for nothing

E                                            E/F                               F#m
And celebrate how empty love can be broken

                      E                      D2                 E                   A2
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

A2
Now it's back to reality 

                                              F#m
I'm up in shambles but I guess that's how I should be

                                                          D2                               E
I knew the wedding bells were ringing well, but my bride was missing.

                                     A2
It's not supposed to hurt this much

                                                   F#m
But when someone slowly breaks it off

                                            D2                           E                  A2
It tends to leave a bitter taste, a scar, that slowly rips apart.

               D2                                         E
Could I have one second of your time?

                                       D2
If I don't, it'll drive me crazy.

                                                    E
As I drop to my knees and scream, 

A2     
I hope you fall into the ocean

E                                                  E/F                                F#m
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around

                                      E             D2              E
As the waves crash over you until you drown. 

A2
And hold a funeral for nothing

E                                            E/F                               F#m
And celebrate how empty love can be broken

                      E                      D2                 E                   A2
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

               F#m    D2
Underground..

F#m
I've had enough, but it's all for the best.

E
I need to get a few things off my chest.

C#m   
There's got to be another way I can say it,

           D2                 E
But to get it right, I have to think straight.

F#m
Hope he tastes like the way I used to taste.

E                                                                  C#m
I can't believe I'd even say this to you now.

             D2              E           A2
When you won't listen at all.

A2     
I hope you fall into the ocean

E                                                  E/F                                F#m
And the current leaves you helpless, swimming around

                                      E                     D2              E
As the waves crash over you and over you until you drown. 

A2
And hold a funeral for nothing

E                                            E/F                               F#m
And celebrate how empty love can be broken

                      E                      D2                 E                  
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground

F#m             E                       D2                Dm                 A2
It takes the sea to put you six feet happily underground.
