Chords
So just some opening comments. From what I have learnt of Ryan Adams previously is that he likes to keep
chord shapes while moving the bass around for example the start of the chorus and the Am7 C/B C part. So if
possible, keep the higher notes in tact while moving the bass parts around.
Supplementary chords:
Csus2 C/B Am7 D5
e|-3-| e|-3-| e|-3-| e|-x-| B|-1-| B|-1-| B|-1-| B|-3-| G|-0-| G|-0-| G|-0-| G|-2-| D|-0-| D|-x-| D|-2-| D|-0-| A|-3-| A|-2-| A|-0-| A|---| E|---| E|---| E|---| E|---|
For the chorus part I keep my fingers on a G shape (3 2 0 0 3 3) and just move my second finger along with
the ascending bass parts up until the D5 chord.
[Intro]
G Csus2 G Csus2
[Verse 1]
G Csus2 So, it's how the story goes. G Csus2 Can we cut to the scene where I'm holding you close. G Csus2 She moves, moves like a pendulum blade G Csus2 Cut, out all the words that I say.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G/F# G The only difference is, G/F# G The only difference is, Em Truth -- D5 Csus2 The truth is I miss you.
[Chorus]
G Am G/B Csus2 D5 Cry on demand. Em How'd you learn to? G Am G/B Csus2 D5 Cry on demand. Am7 Teach me if you want to. C/B Csus2 Though you don't have to. C/B Am7 I just close my eyes and think of you.
[Instrumental]
G Csus2 G Csus2
[Verse 2]
G Csus2 Real. Real like a plastic bouquet. G Csus2 That thrives on the smoke from an old fireplace. G Csus2 And dies every night with her face on the news. G Csus2 Nobody cries, they just smoke and stare and their shoes.
[Pre-chorus 2]
G/F# G The only difference is, G/F# G The only difference is, Em Nobody can cry -- D5 Csus2 It's hard to do. C/B C D Em For most folks, without a reason why.
[Chorus 2]
G Am G/B Csus2 D5 Cry on demand. Em How'd you learn to? G Am G/B Csus2 D5 Cry on demand. Am7 Why would you want to?
[Bridge]
Am7 B C Just close your eyes and think of me. Am7 C/B Csus2 I take back everything I said. Am7 C/B C She can't hurt me, and I can't hurt you. Am7 C/B C It's like were already dead.
[Chorus 3]
G Am G/B Csus2 D5 Cry on demand. G Am G/B Csus2 D5 Cry on demand. G Am G/B Csus2 D5 Cry on demand. Em Why would you want to? G Am G/B Csus2 D5 Cry on demand. Am7 Teach me if you want to. C/B C Though you don't have to. C/B Am7 I just close my eyes and think of you.
