Lyrics/Chords:
[TAB]
The fall that breaks your bed,
turns showers of sunlight to hours of hindsight instead.
You sigh, you shake your head,
it did what they asked us, but time drifted past I'm afraid.
A minorAm D MajorD
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.
E minorEm E minorEm Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm x2
E minorEm E minorEm
If we can make it through tonight girl,
Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm
I know I won't be alone again.
E minorEm E minorEm
If we can make it through this night girl,
Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm
I know I won't be alone again.
A minorAm D MajorD
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.
E minorEm E minorEm Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm
E minorEm E minorEm
If I don't let you go tonight girl,
Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm
I know I won't be alone again.
E minorEm E minorEm
My lips are dry your grip is tight girl,
Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm
but I know I won't sing this song again.
A minorAm D MajorD
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.
E minorEm E minorEm Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm
E minorEm E minorEm
I know these wrongs don't make it right girl,
Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm
but I know I will look on and admire.
E minorEm E minorEm
So I will watch you here tonight girl,
Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm
brighter and more like the embers of our fire.
A minorAm D MajorD
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied.
A minorAm D MajorD
So lately I've been working on this song of mine.
[TAB]
You sigh, you shake your hair,
turns showers of sunlight to hours of hindsight instead.
The fall that breaks your bed,
it did what they asked us, but time drifted past I'm afraid.
A minorAm D MajorD
But I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired of being tongue tied
NOTE: I'm fairly certain this is how Rheon plays it; however, I like to slip a C majorC chord in
between the first two Ems of each bar as I feel it plays better. So:
E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
"If we can make it through tonight girl,
Cadd9Cadd9 E minorEm
I know I won't be alone again." etc.
