16 04 16 Jacks Song Ukulele by Cavetown

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

This is as close as I could get it to sounding like the real thing.

The third and fourth tabulature lines in the intro can be swapped out for playing the previous line twice
more, but with the N.C. removed. The two are played simultaneously in the original song.
Also, the last two tab lines of the intro are played over almost the entire rest of the song in the original.
Do with this information what you will.

Verse 1:
G
I remember the view out the back of the car
B
Left the front door wide open
       Em            C
Maybe it's a sign that we shouldn't be goin'
      D        D7
I didn't realise it'd be so hard
    G             B
You and me, sittin' on the trampoline
              Em
I think one time we fell asleep
   C              D
Woke up and felt like it had been weeks
  D7
And now it truly has been
G        B
  (Forgive yourself)
It wasn't meant to be but it's funny how
Em       C
Life dealt this cheat
           D      D7
To someone who could handle it so well
Chorus 1:
G                   B
  And while you sleep in the pouring rain
                Em
Just know I'll be with you someday
     C          D
And I'll have a good one 'til then
D7
Just like you told me

I wish we could’ve played that game sometime
      Em6      C
I wish we’d talked more online

I’m glad you liked my picture
I stuck it up inside my locker

 Em             Gaug
Becomin' disconnected really puts into perspective
   G              Em6
How important every friend is who makes you wanna live
  C        D   G  G*
And this time it’s okay to cry

G
Black sweatpants and pasta with ketchup
     B
When your sister ate the slug it was the grossest thing ever
  Em
Collecting beetles in the garden together

You're welcome anytime in my dreams

Chorus:
G              B
  Muddy hands and climbing trees
               Em
Sink-tall while we brush our teeth
    C          D
Striped shirts and hide and seek
   D7
It's all comin' back to me
G                 B
  And while you sleep on a sunny day
               Em
Just know I'll remember you always
    C         D
And no matter how much it hurts
       D7         G
It's not goodbye, just see you later

And while you sleep in the pouring rain
                Em

     C          D
And I'll have a good one 'til then
D7
Just like you told me
