(play A1-A2 twice)
Verse 1:
E minorEm G+G C majorC G+G G/F#
Call me from the capital,
E minorEm G+G A minorAm C majorC *
only together as you try to come off.
E minorEm G+G C majorC G+G G/F#
When you need me, it's half a world to reach me.
E minorEm G+G A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC
Selfishly your permanent drain, I am locked inside the places we're the same.
E minorEm BB C majorC G+G G/F#
I know that it's trying and you're tired of hearing it,
E minorEm BB C majorC C minorCm
but nobody else has time to listen how to.
Pre-Chorus:
G+G E minorEm BB C majorC
So can you please do it for me,
G+G E minorEm BB C majorC
this'll be the last that I ask I promise.
G+G E minorEm BB C majorC D MajorD
Eleonora, it's fine you know I never wanted to ignore ya.
Chorus:
G+G - E minorEm - BB - C majorC - (x4)
(with Main Lead Part)
Verse 2:
E minorEm G+G C majorC G+G G/F#
Sleeping on hard wood is harder when you're hardly any good
E minorEm G+G A minorAm C majorC
and every sound hits so much louder than it should.
E minorEm G+G C majorC G+G G/F#
Where's the one who'll make the ringing go away?
E minorEm G+G A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC
You're built of much sturdier stuff, while I'm piled high and loose and could use some luck.
E minorEm BB C majorC G+G G/F#
I know you've been dying to move forward,
E minorEm BB C majorC C minorCm
but no one can make it go away the way you do.
Pre-Chorus 2:
G+G E minorEm BB C majorC
So can you please do it for me,
G+G E minorEm BB C majorC
my monument is my failure to answer.
G+G E minorEm BB C majorC D MajorD
Eleonora, it's fine you know I never wanted to ignore ya.
Bridge:
C majorC - E minorEm - D MajorD - D MajorD - (x2)
C majorC E minorEm BB C majorC
Oh won't you kindly pick the pins and needles off me

-Everything is relative to the capo.
-You could most likely play this without the capo (everything up a half step)
and you would only miss out on the low open note on the E minorEm chord.
-Also live they play it without a capo (in G+G instead of G#G#).
-The Pre-chorus Lead is pretty hard to hear but I tried my best.
