Sweet Illusions chords by Ryan Adams

Chords with lyrics

Ryan Adams - Sweet Illusions
from the record "Cold Roses"

Tabs submitted by Tim Prizer ([email protected])

Questions, comments, corrections welcome.  And if anyone can tab out the very nice
electric guitar in the background, that would be great...

Chords used (standard tuning - eBGDAE):
Chord diagramB minorBm 234422
Chord diagramG+G 330023
Chord diagramD MajorD 2320xx
Chord diagramE minorEm 000220
Chord diagramAsus4Asus4 032200

*It sounds as though Ryan mutes the Chord diagramA augmentedA string at some points on the Chord diagramG+G and the little
e string on the D, but it sounds fine either way.

Intro
[Chord diagramD MajorD] [Chord diagramB minorBm]
[Chord diagramD MajorD] [Chord diagramB minorBm]
[Chord diagramD MajorD] [Chord diagramB minorBm]
[Chord diagramB minorBm] [Chord diagramG+G]
[Chord diagramG+G] [Chord diagramD MajorD]

[Chord diagramB minorBm]Let me go I'm only [Chord diagramG+G]letting you down
[Chord diagramD MajorD]I 've got nothing to [Chord diagramG+G]say to you now
[Chord diagramB minorBm]I lose the feelings that are [Chord diagramG+G]weighing me down
When I'm [Chord diagramD MajorD]safe

[Chord diagramB minorBm]It's turning morning all the [Chord diagramG+G]birds sing
[Chord diagramD MajorD]I'm not complicating [Chord diagramG+G]anything
[Chord diagramB minorBm]I'll have another then I'll [Chord diagramG+G]go to bed
But I'll [Chord diagramD MajorD]dream of you

Cause it's [Chord diagramB minorBm]almost over
And it's [Chord diagramAsus4Asus4]almost gone

CHORUS
And I can feel the [Chord diagramD MajorD]sweet ill[Chord diagramG+G]usion, coming
[Chord diagramB minorBm]Sweet con[Chord diagramG+G]fusion, honey
[Chord diagramD MajorD]Sweet ill[Chord diagramG+G]usion coming [Chord diagramB minorBm]down [Chord diagramAsus4Asus4]
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now

[Chord diagramE minorEm] [Chord diagramB minorBm] [Chord diagramE minorEm] [Chord diagramB minorBm] [Chord diagramE minorEm] [Chord diagramB minorBm] [Chord diagramG+G] [Chord diagramAsus4Asus4]

[Chord diagramB minorBm]You and I used to [Chord diagramG+G]shine like a jewel
But [Chord diagramD MajorD]time's been nothing to [Chord diagramG+G]us but cruel
[Chord diagramB minorBm]So play it out and never [Chord diagramG+G]play the fool
Cause you'll [Chord diagramD MajorD]lose every time

[Chord diagramB minorBm]We were nothing, we were [Chord diagramG+G]only the past
[Chord diagramD MajorD]Hard times like [Chord diagramG+G]that don't last
[Chord diagramB minorBm]I've been forgiven, I have [Chord diagramG+G]been surpassed
By my [Chord diagramD MajorD]heart
Have you?

Cause it's [Chord diagramB minorBm]almost over
Yeah it's [Chord diagramAsus4Asus4]almost gone

And I can feel the [Chord diagramD MajorD]sweet ill[Chord diagramG+G]usion coming
[Chord diagramB minorBm]Sweet con[Chord diagramG+G]fusion, oh
[Chord diagramD MajorD]Sweet ill[Chord diagramG+G]usion coming [Chord diagramB minorBm]down [Chord diagramAsus4Asus4]

And I ain't got nothing but love for you

BRIDGE
[Chord diagramE minorEm]Love for [Chord diagramG+G]you I can't [Chord diagramD MajorD]use
And [Chord diagramE minorEm]lonely nights [Chord diagramG+G]multiplied by the [Chord diagramAsus4Asus4]blues
That I can't [Chord diagramAsus4Asus4]resolve [Chord diagramAsus4Asus4]

(very light picking on this verse)
[Chord diagramB minorBm]You never knew me but I [Chord diagramG+G]did my best
[Chord diagramD MajorD]I'm just lonely in[Chord diagramG+G]side I guess
[Chord diagramB minorBm]You gave me everything you [Chord diagramG+G]really tried
[Chord diagramD MajorD]Thanks

[Chord diagramB minorBm]If we were nothing and we're [Chord diagramG+G]only the past
[Chord diagramD MajorD]Then I'm just living in a [Chord diagramG+G]dream I guess
Chord diagramA augmentedA [Chord diagramB minorBm]long black dream that [Chord diagramG+G]takes me down the river to [Chord diagramD MajorD]you

Where it's [Chord diagramB minorBm]almost over
And we're [Chord diagramAsus4Asus4]almost gone

And I can feel the [Chord diagramD MajorD]sweet ill[Chord diagramG+G]usion coming
[Chord diagramB minorBm]Sweet con[Chord diagramG+G]fusion, honey
[Chord diagramD MajorD]Sweet ill[Chord diagramG+G]usion coming [Chord diagramB minorBm]down

Well I can feel the [Chord diagramD MajorD]sweet ill[Chord diagramG+G]usion coming
[Chord diagramB minorBm]Sweet con[Chord diagramG+G]fusion, honey
[Chord diagramD MajorD]Sweet ill[Chord diagramG+G]usion coming [Chord diagramB minorBm]down [Chord diagramAsus4Asus4]

And I ain't got nothing but love for you now

[Chord diagramD MajorD] [Chord diagramB minorBm] [Chord diagramD MajorD] [Chord diagramB minorBm] [Chord diagramD MajorD] [Chord diagramB minorBm] [Chord diagramE minorEm]
