Neck Deep - Staircase Wit Chords
Original is played in Drop C, but you can play this acoustic version in Standard E MajorE if you like, sounds good to
me. Not so sure about the intro, but the rest should be correct.

Listen to the song for the strumming for the power chords at "But it's beginning to rust"

=Verse 1=

D MajorD
The feeling starts to sink in,
            D5D5 E5E5 D5D5 C#5C#5 D5D5
But it's beginning to rust,
G+G                    B minorBm
Still hanging onto the things that we discussed,
            A augmentedA         G+G
But the point that was made isn't said and done...
    D MajorD
Now the sun shines so bright, but it won't shine for you,
    G+G
You remind me of rain in July
           B minorBm
And the gloom that I felt for a year,
     A augmentedA              G+G
And the clouds are always shaped just like you
           E minorEm F minorFm G+G
But there's a parting light...

=Chorus=

D MajorD
I always told you that someday
                 G+G
I would be packing my bags and I would be on my way,
D MajorD
You always laughed in my face,
And made the world seem so grey,
            G+G
Lay in the bed that you made
         D MajorD
So I can finally say that I'm fine,
You can just say "whatever,"
               G+G
I won't change my mind 'cuz I know that I'm better off,
D MajorD
But I am cursed with a staircase wit,
      G+G                     B minorBm
Always find the words when it's too late to let them slip

=Bridge 1=

B minorBm          D MajorD
Don't judge me on my bad habits,
    B minorBm    G+G       D MajorD
I could pick out every flaw of yours,
         G+G
And unearth all your imperfections.

B minorBm       G+G      B minorBm
Beneath the surface I have seen,
B minorBm     G+G            D MajorD
The ugly truth behind the beauty queen...

=Chorus=

D MajorD
I always told you that someday
                 G+G
I would be packing my bags and I would be on my way,
D MajorD
You always laughed in my face,
And made the world seem so grey,
            G+G
Lay in the bed that you made
         D MajorD
So I can finally say that I'm fine,
You can just say "whatever,"
               G+G
I won't change my mind 'cuz I know that I'm better off,
D MajorD
But I am cursed with a staircase wit,
      G+G                     B minorBm
Always find the words when it's too late to let them slip

=Bridge 2=

D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD

D MajorD
Held it back,
Lost the nerve,
     G+G           D MajorD
Was too scared to talk when you gave me your hand
     G+G
And you gave me your heart,
D MajorD          A augmentedA       G+G
When you should have kept it to yourself
D MajorD        A augmentedA       G+G
You should have kept it to yourself,
D MajorD       G+G   A augmentedA    G+G
