My Wrecking Ball

Capo 4 (all chords relative)


Great song off the new album.

I play the C majorC as a C/GC/G and the G+G as a technically a G6add11 below in the diagram.

Play the Fmaj7Fmaj7 in the verses and chorus with your thumb on the bass note (see chord diagram).

Sounds good if you add a few embellishments such as hammer ons etc.

Verse:


Fmaj7Fmaj7              C majorC
Driving through the streets tonight

 G+G            A minorAm
It's hot I've got the windows down


Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC            G+G
I wish I could call you I wish you were still around

Fmaj7Fmaj7          C majorC
Nothing much left in the tank

G+G             A minorAm
Somehow this thing still drives

Fmaj7Fmaj7             C majorC         G+G
It forgot what it needed but somehow still survives

Bridge:


  A minorAm    Am/B   C majorC     Fmaj7Fmaj7      G+G
And all the walls we built they must come down

Verse:


Fmaj7Fmaj7        C majorC
Lying in the bed at night

 G+G            A minorAm
Feeling like I'm somebody else


Fmaj7Fmaj7           C majorC              G+G
My thoughts inside my head get lost inside the haunted house


Fmaj7Fmaj7        C majorC
Everyone I used to know

 G+G            A minorAm
Left their dreams by the door


Fmaj7Fmaj7           C majorC              G+G
I accidentally kick em thats how I can tell you're still not sure

And all the walls we built they rise and they fall
