The Joy In Forgetting The Joy In Accepting chords by Bright Eyes

Chords with lyrics

I didn't bother with the messy beginning part, but it's not hard
to fake it or figure out an easy chord progression for it, like something
in key of D.

Anyways, this tab is to focus on the piano chords
for the second part of the song.

If you're playing this on piano, for the A augmentedA chord add in the BB note
right next to the root A, this will help make some of that strange
resonance of the chords he's playing. If you want to do a melody type
riff just use the notes naturally in these chords/scale. It's easy to figure
out the back-and-forth part (try-ey-ey-ey) at the end of verses.


A augmentedA
So, you say there are spaces,
E MajorE
Open and wide.
A augmentedA
Believe me there's days,
E MajorE
Longer than nights.
A augmentedA              E MajorE
And you will be happy, the minute you try...
D MajorD
But you don't try.
E MajorE
No you don't try.

And you speak of a fever,
That burns you inside.
As you explain to your mother,
How you wanted to die.
So she kisses your fingers,
Says "My Darling but why?
D MajorD
When there is so much more...
E MajorE
There is so much more..."

Do you know there are spaces,
Open and wide.
Oh believe me, there's days,
Longer than nights.
And you will be happy,
If only you'd try.
D MajorD
Oh won't you try,
E~
Oh won't you try...

Play some ugly dissonant chord here, an F# minorF#m with some wrong notes or whatever, and
leave it open without resolving
