Chords

This version comes from the Jan 1 2024 album "Prisoners" . Released: 1 Jan 2024 Album: Prisoners [Chords] [Gadd9 320203] Note: In verse 4 I show you how to play it the easy way ie first two lines with two chords only. Capo: 3 fret Alternate or different capo fret positions are easily possible by using the transpose button below. The chords will automatically adapt to the new capo position. Plus 1 on the transpose button means capo fret position one down; minus one means capo one fret up. Using the Transpose button can affect the placement of the chords in the line. Small movements of the chords on the line are possible (depends on length chord names). Example: To play this without capo set the transpose button at +3. Half step down tuning set the transpose button at +4. [Intro] G Gadd9 Esus4 Em G Gadd9 Esus4 Em [Verse 1]
G      Gadd9        Esus4  Em
Strong winds and my head's on fire,

G            Gadd9 Esus4  Em
Walk another day  across  the high wire,

C                                  D
I'm on a tightrope, watch it as it swings,

C
Like a countdown ticker on New Year's Eve.
[Verse 2]
G          Gadd9             Esus4  Em
We run the numbers, spinning in    the side,

G                Gadd9              Esus4         Em
Counting all the reasons that we're broken and we lied,

C                                  D
I'm on a tightrope, watch it as it heaves,

C
Heating up the metal, putting pressure on the springs.
[Chorus]
Em    D/F#        G      C    G  D   Dsus2
All I want is for you to make me smile,

Em    D/F#        G      C     G  D  D7sus2  D  D7sus2
All I want is for you to drive me wild.

G      Gadd9        Esus4 Em
Pretty candles on a birthday cake,

G       Gadd9                Esus4 Em
Covered in confetti with the caffeine shakes,

C                                 D
Fuck all the money, everything is trash,

C
Papers in the glove box, light it up and pass.
[Verse 4]
G               Em
on the tube, we watch it till we sleep,

      G                          Em
Ain't nothing but static and the manic and the few that panic,

C                                  D
I'm on a tightrope, watch it as it heaves,

C
Heating up the metal, putting pressure on the springs.
[Chorus]
Em    D/F#        G      C    G  D   Dsus2
All I want is for you to make me smile,

Em    D/F#        G      C     G  D  D7sus2
All I want is for you to drive me wild.

Em    D/F#        G      C    G  D   Dsus2
All I want is for you to make me smile,

Em    D/F#        G      C     G  D  D7sus2  D  D7sus2
All I want is for you to drive me wild.

Wild.
