Chords with lyrics

🎸 Intro:

D MajorD  G+G  B minorBm  G+G  (x2)


🎸 Verse :
D MajorD        G+G
 Read it in a book once
        B minorBm
Don’t remember where
            G+G               D MajorD
If you’re happy in a dream it has to count for something
        G+G
Cursing at the sun
           B minorBm
You taught me not to swear
         G+G                 D MajorD
You ask if I get worse and I say, “Dammit, you can bet”

🎸 Refrain:
E minorEm           B minorBm
Hanging on a ledge, outside of your house
        G+G             D MajorD
Trying not to freak out, staring at the ground
       E minorEm           B minorBm
Doing math in my head, how far is it down?
         G+G               B minorBm
Not too good to beg for you to try to talk me down

🎸 Bridge:
                    G+G
You say you never had a good night’s sleep
                 D MajorD
Any of the nights you spent with me
                 A augmentedA
I ask if it’d be better when I leave

And then regret it
B minorBm             G+G
 Maybe if I were a little patient
                  D MajorD
But I never learned the virtue in waiting
                  A augmentedA
It’s too late, anyway, to take it back

🎸 Refrain:
        G+G
Cause I have a lot to say
       D MajorD     A augmentedA
And never in the right way
G+G
And if I could just explain
  D MajorD    A augmentedA
Myself, again
        G+G
Oh, if I could fix you first
     D MajorD     A augmentedA
Tell me about what hurts
        G+G
I’d try not to make it worse
      D MajorD  A augmentedA
Than it already has

🎸 Refrain:
        B minorBm
Cause I have a lot to say
       G+G
And never in the right way
        D MajorD
And if I could just explain
  A augmentedA
Myself, again

🎸 Outro:
D MajorD  B minorBm  A augmentedA  E minorEm

D MajorD  B minorBm  A augmentedA  D MajorD
