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.
[Outro] G Csus2 G Csus2
