SONG: Point / Counterpoint
ARTIST: Streetlight Manifesto
The fill between verses that goes D A E A can alternately be played A D E in some places. I think
it sounds better, although the first one is more accurate to the original song. Try slowing the tempo
of the song if you're having trouble.
[Chorus]
E D A E A I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock D A E A And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked D A E A And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock D A E A And even if I could I would never give up D A E A With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung D A E A I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung D A E A So if and when I die, won't you bury me alone? D A E A Because I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song:
E
D A E A (x4)
[Verse 1]
D A If there was something wrong would you be oh-so strong? D A Would you do what it takes to move this hollow life along? D A I'd like to think I would, you know I'd like to think I would D A But I can guarantee that what you see is not reality D A And every time she makes a point, I make a counterpoint D A She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice D A And you know, that's only just the way it goes D A (You said it right man, that is just the way it goes)
[Prechorus]
D A And the days, and the days they seem like forever D A And the days, and the days they seem like forever D A But forever isn't ever enough
[Verse 2]
D A I'd like to sing a song -- Promise you won't be long D A I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong D A There was a kid who never cared about the little things D A Don't even bother because I'm tired and I'm sick of it D A And every time she makes a point, I'll make a counterpoint D A She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice D A And you know that's only just the way it goes D E (You said it right man, that is just the way it goes)
D E
[Chorus]
E D A E A I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock D A E A And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked D A E A And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock D A E A And even if I could I would never give up D A E A With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung D A E A I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung D A E A So if and when I die, won't you bury me alone? D A E A Because I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song:
[Bridge]
B D A Oh, you don't know where I've been
D A E A (x2)
B D A Oh, you don't know what I've seen
D A E A (x2)
[Verse 3]
A D A If I did something right, would you give up this fight? D A Would you say you were wrong and maybe someone else was kind of right D A I'd like to think you would, you know I'd like to think you would D A But I can guarantee that what you get is an apology D A Jump back to the day we met, I never D A Thought that it would end this way, if ever D A I let you down, I want to ask of you D A To take it down a notch and we can talk it on through
[Prechorus]
D A And the days, and the days they seem like forever D A And the days, and the days they seem like forever D A But forever isn't ever enough
[Verse 4]
D A I'd like to sing a song -- Promise you won't be long D A I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong D A There was a chick who never cared about the little things D A Don't bother, 'cause I still don't give a shit D A And every time she makes a point, I'll make a counterpoint D A She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice D A And you know that's only just the way it goes D E (You said it right man, that is just the way it goes)
D E
[Chorus]
E D A E A I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock D A E A And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked D A E A And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock D A E A And even if I could I would never give up D A E A With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung D A E A I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung D A E A So if and when I die, won't you bury me alone?

[Bridge]
B D A Oh, you don't know where I've been
D A E A (x2)
B D A Oh, you don't know what I've seen D A E A (x6) (mute last A)
[Bridge Verse 1]
A So tell me friend: how's it going to end? D When the shit goes down and there's no one left around to get your back A You'll crack, you'll smile and agree D With everything they say, they'll try to tell you that it's all okay A But it's not and you're shot, you're bleeding pretty bad D and you can't stop thinking about the things you never had A Like a wife and a kid and the things you never did D A D You're running around, you're living a life that's empty in the end, my friend
D A E A (x2)
[Bridge]
B D A No, you'll take back all you've said
D A E A (x2)
B D A Oh, when the regrets fill your head
D A E A (x2)
[Bridge Verse 2]
B D Trust me I've been there before B I would not wish it upon my greatest enemy D B What irony, once friends, but I find: D A you'll have to learn this lesson on your own
D A E A (x4)
[Verse 5]
D A E A so I waited by the phone but that phone never rang D A E A and I sang so loud so I wouldn't hear the bang D A E A when the bang never came and I never got the call D A E A Fuck it! Thank you! I love you all! D A E A Oh, some are going to say that we're doomed to repeat D A E A All our past mistakes, great, but that's not me D A E A and even if it was I would always disagree D A E A because in the end I always get the better of me
D A E A (x2)
[Chorus]
E D A E A I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock D A E A And my finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked D A E A And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock D A E A And even if I could I would never give up D A E A With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung D A E A I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung D A E A So if and when I die, won't you bury me alone?

[Bridge]
B D A Oh, I'll take you where I've been
D A E A (x2)
B D A Oh, I'll show you what I've seen
D A E A (x4)
