The Open Door EP

standard tuning
capo on 2nd


G+G                 E minorEm          C majorC
Well I have learned so very little, when these bones are old and brittle

G+G                  E minorEm          C majorC
I wait to talk when I should listen, I crowd mistakes with false revisions

G+G                  E minorEm          C majorC
All my friends are forward thinking, getting hitched and quitting drinking

G+G                E minorEm         C majorC
And I can feel them pulling away, as I'm resigned to stay the same

  G+G     D MajorD  E minorEm  C majorC  A augmentedA
And you can't even begin to know

  G+G  D MajorD     E minorEm   C majorC    A augmentedA    C majorC
How many times I've told myself, "I told you so"

G+G            E minorEm          C majorC
I was once a loyal lover, whose lips did never seek another's

G+G                   E minorEm           C majorC
But now each love's more like a matchup, a blinding spark that burns out fast

G+G                      E minorEm            C majorC
And they all conclude with the same sentence, "I've never met someone more self-centered"

G+G                   E minorEm         C majorC
Who thinks that life with a nice girl's like waiting for a bus to work

  G+G     D MajorD  E minorEm  C majorC  A augmentedA
And you can't even begin to know

  G+G  D MajorD     E minorEm   C majorC    A augmentedA    C majorC
How many times I've told myself, "I told you so"

  G+G     D MajorD  E minorEm  C majorC   A augmentedA
And you can't even begin to believe

  G+G  D MajorD    E minorEm     C majorC   A augmentedA   C majorC
So many bridges engulfed in flames behind me


E minorEm      C majorC     G+G        D MajorD
If you deem it so, just cut the cord and go

E minorEm    C majorC       G+G         D MajorD
You'll be fine, there's plenty of hills to climb


  G+G     D MajorD  E minorEm  C majorC  A augmentedA
And you can't even begin to know

  G+G  D MajorD     E minorEm   C majorC    A augmentedA    C majorC
How many times I've told myself, "I told you so"

  G+G     D MajorD  E minorEm  C majorC   A augmentedA
And you can't even begin to believe

  G+G  D MajorD    E minorEm     C majorC   A augmentedA   C majorC
So many bridges engulfed in flames behind me [x2]
