Chords with lyrics

I'm really surprised that no one has uploaded tabs for this. I like to make a hybrid
between chords and tabs
because it's the way that I like to play guitar and sing by myself. I hope all sounds
great and I'll be updating
the few lead parts that I'm missing very soon

   AbmAbm   BB      F#F#
I can hear you through the walls.
    AbmAbm  BB     F#F#
Can you quiet down those moans, I'm the jealous type.
AbmAbm  BB      F#F#       AbmAbm     BB   F#F#
Never thought that I would see you string me up by my own two feet.
AbmAbm  BB       F#F#
Dirty writing in the stalls
    AbmAbm    BB  F#F#
And you won't return my calls, I feel like a speck.
AbmAbm   BB    F#F#       AbmAbm     BB   F#F#
A augmentedA single grain of sand atop your honey beach-bodied golden tan.
  E MajorE
I'm praying there?s no waves.


  AbmAbm    BB  F#F#
But where did I go wrong?
      BB       E MajorE
Was it the bottle or the bong?
DbmDbm     EbmEbm    E5E5    GbGb
Cross fade - sleep till noon the next day.
AbmAbm    BB  F#F#
Where did I go wrong?
       BB       E MajorE
I've been to happy for too long.
  DbmDbm  EbmEbm  E5E5    GbGb   BB
But lo' I rarely conquered when I came.


    AbmAbm   BB      F#F#
People filling cups half full.
     AbmAbm    BB  F#F#
The music choice is typical, just so we can yell.
AbmAbm  BB     F#F#        AbmAbm    BB    F#F#
Never taste just one eye-candy you never know how this night could go.
  AbmAbm  BB        F#F#
I'm trying hard to make you swoon
           AbmAbm    BB  F#F#
but there are so many bodies in one room it'll make you sweat.
AbmAbm    BB   F#F#      AbmAbm    BB  F#F#
Oh, how a brief intoxication causes so many hearts to break.
  E MajorE
I'm praying I'm not one.


  AbmAbm    BB  F#F#
But where did I go wrong?
      BB       E MajorE
Was it the bottle or the bong?
DbmDbm     EbmEbm    E5E5    GbGb
Cross fade - sleep till noon the next day.
AbmAbm    BB  F#F#
Where did I go wrong?
       BB       E MajorE
I've been to happy for too long.
  DbmDbm  EbmEbm  E5E5    GbGb   BB
But lo' I rarely conquered when I came.


(During the refrain, just play the chords for the verse. I'll learn the part by ear soon.)


(For this part, you can either choose to repeat the intro pattern OR play the chords
that are coming up earlier
and just repeat them twice)

If imagery could walk out of my head,
you'd see yourself in bed with me.
   AbAb  Eb MajorEb DbmDbm  AbmAbm    E5E5     BB     Eb MajorEb
But before I say anymore, you never even knew me at all.
   E5E5     AbmAbm    F#F#      E MajorE
I'm a liar I'm a liar I'm a liar I'm a liar.


(Will update guitar lead for here soon)
