Chords

In verses on the 4th beat while playing the F, pick the bass note (E|-1-|) and then on the and of four, walk down to a G (E|-3-|). All the chords in the verse are an arpeggio starting from the bass note. In my band we play the verse with barre chords and each note is very staccato (short). Then we play the chorus with open strummed chords but still staccato. Then on the bridge we strum very open and don't mute anything so we keep the bridge without staccato. On C/E at the end of the chorus REALLY bring out the E! At first I thought the chord was an Em but after listening to the song more more i know it's a C/E. (Easy Way) (Harder Way)

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Verse 1]
C                              Dm                 
Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table

Am              F 
While I look outside

C                         Dm 
So many things I'd say if only I were able

      Am                            F 
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

C
You've got opinions man

Dm 
We're all entitled to 'em

Am           F 
But I never asked

          C
So let me thank you for your time

        Dm 
And try not to waste any more of mine

Am              F 
Get out of here fast
[Pre-Chorus]
           Dm
I hate to break it to you babe

              F
But I'm not drowning

        Am             G
There's no one here to save
[Chorus]
Am               F 
Who cares if you disagree

        C
You are not me

              G
Who made you king of anything

    Am              F 
So you dare tell me who to be

   C/E                G
Who died and made you king of anything
[Interlude] C - Dm - Am - F [Verse 2]
C
You sound so innocent

Dm
All full of good intent

Am             F
Swear you know best

C   
But you expect me to

Dm
Jump up on board with you

Am                       F
And ride off into your delusional sunset

C
I'm not the one who's lost

Dm  
With no direction, oh

Am               F  
But you'll never see 

          C 
You're so busy making maps

        Dm                  Am
With my name on them in all caps

                    F
You got the talking down, just not the listening
[Chorus]
Am               F 
Who cares if you disagree

        C
You are not me

              G
Who made you king of anything

    Am              F 
So you dare tell me who to be

    C/E               G
Who died and made you king of anything
[Bridge]
     G           Dm
All my life I've tried

          Am                  F
To make everybody happy while I

       G      Dm
Just hurt and hide

            Dm         Em           F          G          
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn to decide
[Interlude] C - Dm - Am - F [Chorus]
Am               F 
Who cares if you disagree

        C
You are not me

              G
Who made you king of anything

    Am              F 
So you dare tell me who to be

   C                  G
Who died and made you king of anything

Am               F 
Who cares if you disagree

        C
You are not me

              G
Who made you king of anything

    Am              F 
So you dare tell me who to be

    C/E               G
Who died and made you king of anything
