Friendleader Ukulele by Phemiec

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Intro:
F6  Gm

Verse:
F6               Gm
There will be no soft sounds this time
F6             F
no arms, not mine at least
F6            Gm
should’ve expect this, I guess,
 F6            F
no “shh” can sooth your beast
  F6            Gm
and it was my problem once,
     F6          F
that violence inside your eyes
F6                 Gm
bright red and high with death and pie,
   F6          F
and rage that never dies

   F6          Gm              F6       Gm
and I used to blame myself, then I blamed everybody else, but never you
Gm         F
cause you were just a messed up kid,
Gm        F
who’d step in it, get scared and sit,
Gm      F6            Gm
and pray for goats and gods who would know what to forbid
   F6         Gm      F6        Gm
and when you would reach out, well I’d run my big mean mouth and make it worse
Gm                   F
And maybe I deserve that hurt,
        Gm         F
destruction of my universe,
Gm      F6       Gm
so if you’ve gotta beat somebody up don’t make it her.

Verse:
  F6      Gm       F6    Gm
I’m sorry, I messed up, I’m not a leader anymore.
  F6      Gm       F6
I’m sorry, I messed up, I’m not a leader.
   Gm
Not a leader.
    F6   Gm
Not a leader, friend.

F6 Gm

Verse:
F6         Gm       F6            F
No more attempts to make you see, I tried, he succeeded, oh well
  F6         Gm           F6         F
but what I can say to a girl who’d play with a noose of excuses until
  F6          Gm           F6              F
her big wicked grin disappears in the smoke, and crack goes the rope pulled true
    F6           Gm       F6             F
I know enough about doubt, and hating myself, to tell that you now know it too

Chorus:
  F6        Gm          F6     Gm
and I used to blame myself, then I blamed everybody else, including you
Gm      F
but you were perfect as you were
Gm       F
all angled out, a blinding blur
Gm      F6       Gm
so bright and beautiful, and clever, yeah for sure
   F6         Gm      F6        Gm
But when you would reach out, well I’d run my big mean mouth and make a mess
Gm      F        Gm
And now it’s my turn to confess
Gm       F           Gm
I wasn’t there, I didn’t guess
       F6         Gm
that you were slipping, ‘till you tripped right off the edge

  F6      Gm       F6     Gm
I’m sorry, I messed up, I’m not a leader anymore.
  F6      Gm       F6
I’m sorry, I messed up, I’m not a leader.
   Gm
Not a leader.
    F6           Gm
Not a leader…. (no more, I’m not a leader any more, no more!)

Verse:
F6            Gm
  Said a thousands words but they never helped
Gm      F
   I hid my scars from you out of shame
F6          Gm
   Took up the cause, Yeah I took the helm
Gm         F
   But I’m not the only one who’s changed
F6          Gm
   I knew you first, I knew you best
Gm       F
   I wish I’d stopped it way back then
F6            Gm
   when things were bad, but they still made sense
Gm           F
   when we were kids, when we were friends.

F6   Gm      Gm     F     F6   Gm      Gm     F
       Friendleaders                Friendleaders…
