Chords

Based on the following performances: Fuel/Friends CHapel Sessions in Colorado - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K2VUlcVZgg A few of these chord shapes are non-standard, or at least for where they are played on the fretboard here. For that reason, the chords are labeled as to what they actually are (as best I can tell). The chords might seem intimidating at first but this song is really fun to jam out to once you get the gist! Intro and Verse 1: B/F# x5543x F#/C# 55403x G#m 02200x Pre-refrain: B 35543x C# 57765x G#m 02200x Refrain: B 35543x G#m 02200x Interlude and Verse 2: B/F# x5543x F#/C# 55403x G#m 02200x Bridge and chorus/outro: D#m x2443x F#/C# 55402x B 35543x [Intro] B/F# F#/C# G#m [Verse 1]

B/F#             F#/C#   G#m
Been there always

B/F#               F#/C#   G#m
Will be there again

B/F#        F#/C#   G#m
Bend it away

B/F#              F#/C#   G#m
Bend it back again

B/F#
It's a truce

F#/C#           G#m
Standing toe to toe

    B/F#
Yea bold

F#/C#        G#m
Throwing the first blow

B/F#                               F#/C#   G#m
To leave a couple teeth to spit out

B/F#              F#/C#   G#m
We swam out a ways

B/F#                          F#/C#   G#m
I hope we don't start to cramp

B/F#                    F#/C#   G#m
At least it's not a race

B/F#                         F#/C#   G#m
Can always float on our backs

[Pre-refrain]

            B           
Well it's a truth, it's 

C#                G#m
True in what they say

       B
It's a hoax

C#                 G#m
And you don't even know

         B
You just laugh

C#                 G#m            
Laugh and when you don't

         B
You just stare

C#                G#m         
And it's not even there

       B     
It's a joke

C#                G#m
And it's always a big deal

[Refrain]

B                            G#m
To people it don't matter at all

B                                   G#m
They call in all the folks that you know

B                                 G#m
And their voice is always so very small

        B/F#       F#/C#     G#m 
Aaaaggggghghhh

[Interlude] Repeat 2x: B/F# F#/C# G#m [Verse 2]

B/F#               F#/C#     G#m 
If we lend our gaze

B/F#                         F#/C#     G#m 
It's likened not to come back

B/F#                      F#/C#     G#m 
Well hold your breath babe

B/F#                         F#/C#     G#m 
There's always one more laugh

B/F#           F#/C#     G#m 
Set a good pace

[Bridge]

B/F#                       
It's the kind a sorta thing that always wins

Repeat 3x: D#m F#/C# B

D#m
And

F#/C#           B         D#m  
When we finally cross the line

F#/C#       B        D#m 
When you're dragging behind

F#/C#                   B          D#m 
Your stroke will be the least that defines

[Chorus]

F#/C#            B        D#m 
There's always a distance

          F#/C#      B       D#m 
Between a shot and a whistle

          F#/C#      B       D#m
Between a shot and a whistle

          F#/C#      B    
Between a shot and a whistle
