This is my first tab but I love OAR and this song so I spent the time to study it for my fellow humans.
VERSE (CHORDS SAME IN EVERY VERSE JUST LISTEN FOR STRUMMING PATTERN.)
C FM7 C There something about the way we fall apart C FM7 C G Like everything that matters, didn’t matter from the start C FM7 C Everyone around us played a part C FM7 Wrecking ball came crashing through the window C G FM7 Structures that we carry in our heart C G And all I ever asked of you C FM7 C Is just to be the woman that you wanted to C G It’s all I ever asked C FM7 C Just outside the city on a Sunday last July C FM7 C G The girl’s name was Brandy but we called her Caroline C FM7 C No one even knew her history C FM7 Said she came from somewhere in the southland C G FM7 Feels like she was coming straight for me
I was playing nine ball with two guys I knew from work
This junkie local starts acting like a jerk
Saw him put his hand up Brandy’s skirt
And I don’t know what happened next
In retrospect I lost my head and think I went berserk
By the time they pulled me off him I was almost coming to
Bleeding at the knuckles, she says nice to meet you
And the cops will probably be here in a flash
We hailed a cab we both got in
And watched that taxi driver slam his foot down on the gas
CHORUS (SAME CHORDS WITH EVERY CHORUS)
C FM7 C G Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you
F5/C (E0 A3 D3 G0 B1 e0 is how to play this weird chord)
Oh oh oh
C FM7 C G Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you F5/C But I ain’t nobody’s fool
Next few months we spent a lot of time up in the room
Laughed a lot, drank a lot, yeah we tried to shoot the moon
And in the morning time she'd always disappear
I agreed, I'd never ask her questions
With the chance of an answer I don't wanna hear
One morning, she crying on the stoop outside my place
She tryin’ to hide it, there’s sadness on her face
Oh is there anything I can do?
She said perhaps if you would drop this package off
I would hate to inconvenience you
Well they say a suckers born, every sixty seconds time
I knew I shouldn't do it, but I put it from my mind
And, oh if you knew that gal of mine
You’d understand, I got no hand in making that decision
Reason got no rhyme
Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you
Oh oh oh
Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you
But I ain't nobody's fool
Nobody's fool no more
I knocked at the address that she gave waited for a few
Looked inside the window and I saw a kid or two
Next thing I knew a burner in my face
There's just some shit you never can erase
Both my hands were shaking as the sun began to rise
I got back to my house, she was gone I'm not surprised
You can never ground a bird that needs to fly
Oh I got into that urge to move
Thanks to you, my wrecking ball Caroline
Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you
Oh oh oh
Must be a fool like me to be with a fool like you
Oh oh oh
Must be a fool like me to be with you
Oh oh oh
Must be a fool like me to be with you
But I ain't nobody's fool
Nobody's fool no more
No more
