So acoustically anyway, Broods play this in the key of B. I'm not sure of the chord name, but if you play the B on the 7th fret and leave the 1st and 2nd strings open during the chorus, it gives it that really nice dissident sound. The E minors here are basically just bass notes to assist with the transition from B to G#m, and can be added and removed as you see fit. Intro (and basically the whole song): B Em G#m Em B... B (Em) G#m (Em) ...The nights are getting shorter B G#m Em ...I don't know where they go B G#m ...I am getting older B G#m ...And it's starting to show (Em) B And ever since I left my mother G#m It's much harder to know B How to make my own life here G#m How to make my own home
Chorus: Em B I don't wanna wake up lonely (Em) G#m I don't wanna just be fine B I don't wanna keep on hoping G#m Forget what I had in mind (Em) B I don't wanna wake up lonely G#m I don't wanna just be fine B I don't wanna keep on hoping G#m Forget what I had in mind Em B Forget what I had in mind B G#m I remember the time when a kiss on the hand was enough B G#m 'Cause we knew we were free and we knew what it meant to be loved (Em) B But ever since I left my father G#m It's much harder to know B How to live my own life here G#m When all I need is home [Repeat chorus] And so on. Sorry, I don't normally post these, but this song is freaking great and wanted to post the acoustic version. Feel free to post corrections
