Chords

During the verses, pre-choruses and interludes the chords should be arpeggiated (one note at a time). This is easiest with finger picking. The difference below between G and G* is that G* is a barre chord, whereas G can be played without barring your finger. [Chords]

[Verse 1] N.C. She said
G        Em        D        C
"I wanna live in a lipstick jungle

G       Em            D         C
I wanna find what I'm searching for

G            Em         D        C
I'm tired of rollin' on soul and thunder

G           Em        D     C
I just want something of my own"
[Pre-Chorus]
          G          Bm
I've been thinkin'

              C                  D
And I've been known to think too much

          G          Bm
I've been drinkin'

         C                 D
And it's about time that I stopped

          G          Bm
I've been sinkin'

        C                          D                     G
I don't know what she knows, but I know that she's all I got

        Bm            C             D
So I'll go, yes, I'll go, we should go
[Interlude] G Em C D x2 [Verse 2] N.C. She said
G        Em        D        C
"I wanna live in a lipstick jungle

G       Em           D      C
I wanna be a million miles away

G            Em            D        C
'Cause we're drifting in a fateless tumble

G           Em                D      C
I know that things will never be the same"
[Pre-Chorus]
          G          Bm
I've been thinkin'

    G  Bm        C           Cm
And I      wanna see the sun through her eyes

G Bm        C            Cm      G  Bm
      Wanna feel how she feels inside

C      Cm         G     Bm     C

[Interlude] G Em C D x2 [Verse 3]
G            Em        C        D
She wants to live in a lipstick jungle

G       Em                 C     D
Chasing rainbows through a salty sky

G             Em               C       D
She's looking for a dream that she can handle

G       Em           C          D
Falling under her as time flows by, yeah
[Chorus]
    G  Bm        C           Cm

[Bridge]
Am                              G*
To love and hold, she's burning cold

                                 Am
The lights are on, but she's not home

                                     G*
When our wind blows, I'll go rollin' stone

                          Am
I follow, I can't let her go

                            G*
And all I know is what I've done

                                            Am
And every day another piece of the puzzle unfolds

                               G*
My mind explodes, it's feeling old
Tired excuses, keep on pushin' me out of control [Interlude] G Em C D
G Em     C D
     Hey
[Chorus]
    G  Bm        C           Cm
And I      wanna see the sun through her eyes

G Bm        C            Cm      G  Bm
      Wanna feel how she feels inside

C      Cm         G     Bm     C
Oh, as time flows by

Cm
Time flows by
[Chorus]
    G  Bm        C           Cm
And I      wanna see the sun through her eyes

G Bm        C            Cm      G  Bm
      Wanna feel how she feels inside

C      Cm         G     Bm     C
Oh, as time flows by

Cm         G
Time flows by
