Chords
One of the two new songs posted by Nickelback for their new album Feed The Machine.
They change the way they play the e string in the D chord throughout the song,
most notably in the breakdown/bridge, where there D is played as a Dsus4, however there is a
single strum guitar playing it as a normal D.
In the verses you can leave the e string open on the D & G and in the pre-chorus the G & Cadd9,
which matches the piano better. Have a play through, see which way you prefer to play it.
Chord variations used:
Am x02200
Cadd9 x32033
Em7 022033
Dsus4 xx0233

[Verse 1]
Em The first words that come out, G And I can see this song will be about you, D I can't believe that I can breathe without you, Am But all I need to do is carry on, Em The next line I write down, G And there's a tear that falls between the pages, D I know that pain's supposed to heal in stages, Am But it depends which one it's standing on,
[Pre-chorus]
Em G I write lines down, then rip them up, Am C Describing love can't be this tough..
[Chorus]
G D I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke, Em7 Cadd9 I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly, G D Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon, Em7 Cadd9 Play it for the world, but it won't mean much,
Unless I sing this song to you....
[Verse 2]
E G I'm dying to show you, This could end happily ever after, D There doesn't ever have to be disaster, Am And all you have to do is sing along,
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em G I write lines down, then rip them up, Am C Impossible describing love....
[Chorus]
G D I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke, Em7 Cadd9 I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly, G D Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon, Em7 Cadd9 Play it for the world, but it won't mean much,
Unless I sing this song to you...
G D I could set this song on fire, unless sing this song to you Em7 Cadd9 I could set this song on fire...
[Bridge]
G Dsus4 Light this old guitar on fire, I'd still hear the notes, Em7 Cadd9 Drown the melody in water, I'd still hear its ghost G Dsus4 Sing it with somebody else, but we'd be out of tune, Em7 Cadd9 Play it for the world, but it won't mean much...
[Chorus]
G D I could set this song on fire, send it up in smoke, Em7 Cadd9 I could throw it in the river and watch it sink in slowly, G D Tie the pages to a plane and send it to the moon, Em7 Cadd9 Play it for the world, but it won't mean much,
Unless I sing this song to you,
[Outro]
G D I could set this song on fire, Unless I sing this song to you, Em7 Cadd9 I could set this (I could set this), I wanna sing this song to you G D I could set this song on fire, sing this song to you Em7 Cadd9 I could set this, I could set this..
