How Do You Tell Someone Acoustic chords by Cowboy Mouth

Based off the tab by User Pete Rasche, adding all the lyrics, and using full G, Cadd9 and Em7 chords


G = 320033      Cadd9=032033    D=000232        Em7=022033
When a line ends on a D* it also sounds neat when you are soloing
this on an acoustic to add a Dsus4 (xx0233) flourish, but that is optional



G                D               Cadd9         G

G                 D                Cadd9                  G
talk about, don't shout about, the people we've become"

    G                 D                  Cadd9            D

Tina says, "The pictures that we took are put away
   G            D            Cadd9           D
Inside a box of memories for cold and rainy days
G                D               Cadd9              G
Poems in pencil rhyming with the things you'd never say

There's a little girl who's crying over here"

G              D               Cadd9        G
Keeps himself protected with a combination lock

There's a little boy who's crying over here

Your name is written on my soul in alphabetic file
G                  D          Cadd9              G
All I've got's my dignity, so I will leave in style

There's a million of us crying over here"

Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Cadd9      G                   D         Dsus  D
Any time I talk to you there's no one listening

Everywhere I look for you, you're no where to be found
