Chords

This is my ukulele adaptation of the chords by John McPherson. Although the entire mmmhmm album is tuned down a half step, the ukulele does not need to be tuned down, as these chords are weird and this makes it easy. Look at the chords I provided, as the names ARE NOT what they are in standard. It's the chord of the half-step down tuning transposed directly to standard tuning. Don't worry about understanding it. Feel free to edit and let me know if I did anything wrong. -Jimmy

G#2 A#2 Cm D# A# G# G#/G A#2/B Tuning: GCEA (standard) (Intro) G#2 A#2 Cm D# G#2 A#2 Cm D# G#2 A#2 (Verse 1)
D#
  I watched the proverbial sunrise

G#2
  coming up over the Pacific and

Cm
  you might think I'm losing my mind,

A#2
  but I will shy away from the specifics...

G#2                            A#2         Cm
  'cause I don't want you to know where I am

          G#2                  A#2
  'cause then you'll see my heart

          Cm
  in the saddest state it's ever been.

G#2                    A#2
  This is no place to try and live my life.
(Pre-Chorus)
   D#          D#             A#2             A#
  Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.

G#2          Cm          A#2
  See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.

   D#          D#            A#2               A#
  Stop right there. Well I never should have said

                 G#/G        G#2
  that it's the very moment that

     A#2
  I wish that I could take back.
(Chorus)
D#                                     A#2  Cm
  I'm sorry for the person I became.

                                                   A#2  D#        
  I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.

                                                   A#2 Cm
  I'm ready to try and never become that way again

                                      G#2
  'cause who I am hates who I've been.

        A#2                
  Who I am hates who I've been.
G#2 A#2 Cm D# G#2 A#2 Cm D# (Verse 2)
D#
  I talk to absolutely no one.

G#2
  Couldn't keep to myself enough.

            Cm
  And the things bottled inside have finally begun

       A#2
  to create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.

D#
  I heard the reverberating footsteps

G#2
  sinking up to the beating of my heart,

Cm                                A#2
  and I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.
      G#2               A#2       Cm
  And I can't let that happen again

          G#2                 A#2
  'cause then you'll see my heart

         Cm
  in the saddest state it's ever been.

 G#                    A#2
  This is no place to try and live my life.
(Pre-Chorus x2)
   D#          D#             A#2             A#
  Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.

G#2          Cm          A#2
  See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.

   D#          D#            A#2               A#
  Stop right there. Well I never should have said

                 G#/G        G#2
  that it's the very moment that

     A#2
  I wish that I could take back.
[repeat] (Chorus)
D#                                     A#2  Cm
  I'm sorry for the person I became.

                                                   A#2  D#        
  I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.

                                                   A#2 Cm
  I'm ready to try and never become that way again

                                      G#2
  'cause who I am hates who I've been.

        A#2                
  Who I am hates who I've been.

D#        G#2                A#2
  Who I am hates who I've been

                                                A#2/B       Cm
  and who I am will take the second chance you gave me.

         G#2                   D# 
  Who I am hates who I've been

                        A#2
  'cause who I've been only ever made me...

D#                                   A#2  Cm
  So sorry for the person I became.

                                                  A#2 D#
  So sorry that it took so long for me to change.

                                                A#2  Cm
  I'm ready to try and never become that way again

                                  G#2
  'cause who I am hates who I've been.

          A#2                  
  Who I am hates who I've been.
