Chords
This is my interpretation of the chords of this beautiful Weepies song. I tried to make it as clear as
possible. To get a better feel for the strumming and so on, you can check out this video of me playing the
questions, please leave a comment or send me a message.
Strumming patterns: (1) dd/ux (2) dddd (3) d(x)
- There are 3 strumming patterns in the song. On the first down strum in each pattern you only strum the bass
note. On all subsequent strums you strum the 4 top strings.
- The entire song uses pattern (1), unless otherwise stated. The x in this pattern means you don't really
strum, but mute all strings with the palm of your strumming hand.
- Pattern (2) consists of 4 downstrums. The first 3 strums are Gsus4, the 4th strum is G.
- Pattern (3) is simply strumming a chord once and muting it immediately after.

[Verse 1]
Am7 C C/F (Gsus4 G)(2) You can't get up 'cause you've been down and you are reeling Am7 C C/F (Gsus4 G)(2) You catch your breath by counting cracks up on the ceiling Am7 Gsus4 Gsus4/F# It makes it somewhat less appealing to be feeling Gsus4/F (Gsus4 G)(2) Like you're stealing someone else's broken heart Am7 C C/F Gsus4(3) Doo doo doo Am7 C C/F (Gsus4 G)(2) Doo
[Verse 2]
Am7 C C/F (Gsus4 G)(2) This empty end was never something of your choosing Am7 C C/F (Gsus4 G)(2) You could have won but you were much too busy losing Am7 Gsus4 Gsus4/F# You go out cruising for a bruising an illusion Gsus4/F (Gsus4 G)(2) That you use to cover up your broken heart Am7 C C/F Gsus4(3) Doo doo doo Am7 C C/F Gsus4(3) Doo Doo doo doo Am7 C/E C/F Gsus4 Doo
