Prodigal chords by OneRepublic

Guitar chords with lyrics

Hi everyone.
This is the first time I'm submitting a tab. I'm still learning how to figure out the chords (this
is my second try) and though this is my favorite song from my favorite band, it was VERY hard to
tab. So, I know it's not totally right but I wanted to show it to someone and receive some critics.
Just don't be so hard on me, thank you. :D


I tried like all possible variations for D and G that I could find. Here's the ones I thought
fitted better.

D(dd4): x54x3x
Gm6/D: xxx33x
D2: xxx23x (I can't remember the right name for this chord, sorry)

You see me crack

Like a bone, like a bone, I'm so breakable


    D          D2 D Bm   D(add4)

Run away, run away

Like a prodigal

Don't you wait for me
D           G
So ashamed, so ashamed

But I need you so
Bm
And you wait for me
Gm
And you wait for me


D
I'm on the road
Gm6/D
To who knows where?
D(dd4)
Look ahead, not behind, I keep saying
D
There's no place to go
Gm6/D
Where you're not there
D(dd4)
On your rope, I hold tight, but it's fraying


    D          D2 D Bm   D(add4)
And I'll take everything from you

So ashamed, so ashamed

But I need you so

And you wait for me

And you wait for me


D2 Gm6/D D(dd4)
Oooohhhhhhhhhhh


D2
Everybody wants to be right
Gm6/D
But only if it's night or daylight
D(dd4)
I keep trying to find my way back
   G
my way baaaaaaaaaaaaaack


D         G
Run away, run away

Like a prodigal

Don't you wait for me

So ashamed, so ashamed

But I need you so
Bm
And you wait for me

And you wait for me

Runaway from you, from you

From you


Ends on D
