Chords

The intro to this song changes chords quite weirdly, as you play the G for an extra beat before swapping to the Em for 3 beats. Listen to the song, or even better the acoustic demo, to get a grasp of the strumming pattern. [Intro] G Em x4 [Verse 1]
            G
I hitched a ride with my soul
By the side of the road
Em
Just as the sky turned black

         G
I took a walk with my fame
Down memory lane
  Em
I never did find my way back

              G
You know that I gotta say time's slipping away

Em
And what will it hold for me

        G
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you

       Em
You're standing ignoring me
[Chorus]
Bb              Am              C
I thought that I heard someone say now

           G                 Bb
There's no time for running away now

A            G
Hey now! Hey now!

Em       G          Em         G
Feel no shame - cos time's no chain

Em       G          Em         D
Feel no shame
[Verse 2]
    G
The first thing I saw
As I walked through the door
      Em
Was a sign on the wall that read

            G
It said you might never know
That I want you to know
        Em
What is written inside of your head

    G
And time as it stands
Won't be held in my hands
   Em
Or living inside of my skin

          G
And as it fell from the sky
I asked myself why
      Em
Can I never let anyone in ?
[Chorus]
Bb              Am              C
I thought that I heard someone say now

           G                 Bb
There's no time for running away now

A            G
Hey now! Hey now!

Em       G          Em         G
Feel no shame - cos time's no chain

Em       G          Em         D
Feel no shame
[Solo] G Em G Em Bb A C G Bb A G
Em       G          Em         G
Feel no shame - cos time's no chain

Em       G          Em         D
Feel no shame
[Verse 3]
            G
I hitched a ride with my soul
By the side of the road
Em
Just as the sky turned black

         G
I took a walk with my fame
Down memory lane
  Em
I never did find my way back

              G
You know that I gotta say time's slipping away

Em
And what will it hold for me

        G
What am I gonna do while I'm looking at you

       Em
You're standing ignoring me
[Last Chorus]
Bb              Am              C
I thought that I heard someone say now

           G                 Bb
There's no time for running away now

A            G
Hey now! Hey now!

Em       G          Em         G
Feel no shame - cos time's no chain

Em       G          Em         D
Feel no shame
