Play around with it to get the choking right
In the recording, it changes up in the post chorus a little bit, but can be played without change
There's also some variation throughout the song
NOTE: At the end of each verse, there is an extra measure of timing added (for dramatic effect I guess)
[Intro]
Amaj7 Dmaj7b5 E13 E (x2)
[Verse 1]
N.C. Amaj7 Drain a bottle of cheap red wine Dmaj7b5 Drift off and fall asleep at night E13 Grab my coat and take a walk outside E Light a smoke and kiss my youth goodbye Amaj7 You see I'm just as good at wasting time Dmaj7b5 As John n' Paul were good at making rhymes E13 Why do all the good ones have to die? E I wish I thought of that,
before I made you cry
[Pre-chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7b5 E13 E
[Chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7b5 Don't write your letters to me E13 E Don't get wasted at the party Amaj7 Dmaj7b5 Don't address your letters to me E13 E Don't get wasted at the party
[Post-chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7b5 E13 E (x2)
E13
[Verse 2]
Amaj7 Why don't we wait? Dmaj7b5 Why do I take the bait? E13 I'm filled with so much hate E I'm sure you feel the same Amaj7 Fly down the interstate Dmaj7b5 I run a little late E13 Dinner starts at 8 E But you don't know, this is our last date
[Chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7b5 Don't write your letters to me E13 E Don't get wasted at the party Amaj7 Dmaj7b5 Don't address your letters to me E13 E Don't get wasted at the party (Ohhhh)
[Post-chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7b5 E13 E (x2)
E13
[Outro]
Amaj7 My hands begin to shake Dmaj7b5 Why do I take the bait? E13 I'm filled with so much hate E I wish I could stay
Amaj7
