Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) ************************************ Some advice: During the verses, when you play G and go to C you only add your index finger to the first fret of the B string, you don't need to play the full chord as it's only a transmission. In the chorus and bridge you play the full C). D chord: The way she plays D is by doing the same shape of the regular C chord but playing it from the third fret, if you find it hard you can just play a regular D but this one sounds better and is the original way she plays it. Strumming: It's basically alternating strumming down the first 3 low strings with your thumb and always plucking ONLY the B string with your middle finger.
Verse 1: G Dear C Em Do you hear what I hear? G C Em The crackle, of fear in the atmosphere G C Em Mmmmm...mmm...mmmmm G Love C Em Keep your eyes on the road G C Em ‘Cause when I stare all I see is two foggy windows to a lost soul Chorus: C Em And maybe, maybe it’s all my fault C That it’s so quiet G On the drive home Verse 2: G C Em Babe, can I build my home in your mind? G C Em A disheveled maze constellated and intertwined Chorus: C Em But somehow, it’s my favorite kind C And my favorite view G When it untangles in the moonlight Verse 3: G C Em Darlin’, we’re getting older G C Em In less than 8 months you’ll wash tear stains off of your shoulder C And drenched in alcohol and conceit C The cold-blooded bodies quick on their feet Em Will tell you how to earn your stripes Chorus: C And you’ll be listening while C I sit here with glistening eyes C As the stripes on my back chip and dry C D You won’t be listening to my cries Anymore G C Em Woooooh~ woooooh~ Bridge: D C And we’ll be two pieces of driftwood D C Floating in a sea of missed calls and excuses D And your home will change into C Four walls and a mini fridge D C Instead of four limbs and lips to kiss Chorus: C G Em D But for now, the night is young D D And you are here and snow patrol just came on the radio C G C So darling, let’s take C G C D Darling, let’s take the long way home G C Em Woooh, Oooh G C Em Ooooh, Oooh G C Em Love, keep your eyes on the road
