Intro
Key: A augmentedA major
BPM: 98
Tuning: Drop D/Standard (dependent on whether or your bas or guitar and want to play classic chords
or power chords)
Another barnburner of a tune from the kids over at ATC!
The phrasing is really simple, the chord transitions just happen over and in-between words.
The only part that some beginners might have issues comprehending is the chorus. Just play D MajorD for one bar,
A augmentedA for one bare and then E MajorE for two if you get confused by looking at here! Simples!
To play chords with a capo, transpose down 2 semitones and place a capo on second. :)
[Verse 1]
D MajorD
It's been a minute
A augmentedA
Everything's the same but different
F# minorF#m
Everyone moved on or stayed too long
E MajorE
Doing the same things
D MajorD
Can't help but miss it
A augmentedA
Thought I might come back and visit you
F# minorF#m
And I moved on but we've still got
E MajorE
A augmentedA whole lot of history
[Pre-Chorus]
D MajorD
Is it too late?
A augmentedA
I know we went separate ways
F# minorF#m
But I just wanted to say
Hey
[Chorus]
D MajorD
Yo, I'm back home for the weekend
A augmentedA E MajorE
Called you up but you were sleeping
I wanna do those things we used to do
D MajorD
Back when we ran these neighbourhood streets
A augmentedA E MajorE
Wrote our names in the wet cement
We can't go back again
D MajorD A augmentedA
But we can pretend for one more weekend
E MajorE
One more weekend
[Verse 2]
D MajorD
We said forever
A augmentedA
Never thought our time together'd ever stop
F# minorF#m
But it did and we're not kids anymore
D MajorD
I've got our photos in a drawer
A augmentedA
People don't keep those anymore
F# minorF#m E MajorE
But I did, can't get rid of who we were before
[Pre-Chorus]
D MajorD
Is it too late?
A augmentedA
I know we went separate ways
F# minorF#m
But I just wanted to say
Hey
[Chorus]
D MajorD
Yo, I'm back home for the weekend
A augmentedA E MajorE
Called you up but you were sleeping
I wanna do those things we used to do
D MajorD
Back when we ran these neighbourhood streets
A augmentedA E MajorE
Wrote our names in the wet cement
We can't go back again
D MajorD A augmentedA
But we can pretend for one more weekend
E MajorE
One more weekend
[Bridge]
D MajorD A augmentedA F# minorF#m
Monday will wash away the fantasies
A augmentedA D MajorD
We'll have to go back and face reality
A augmentedA F# minorF#m
But we've got forever between now and then
E MajorE
We can pretend
[Final Chorus]

One more weekend

One more weekend
