"Try To Remember, Forget" - Say Anything

Today is my birthday, so I figured I'd finally submit some easy acoustic chords for my favorite bday song.

This might not be accurate, but it sounded good to me! Enjoy!!


     G+G         Cadd9Cadd9

It is my birthday, It is a new year.

      G+G        Cadd9Cadd9

I should be happy, that I am still here.

      G+G          Cadd

Light up a new joint, Put on an old shirt.

    G+G            Cadd9Cadd9

Try to remember, forget how my brain works.

      E minor 7Em7               D MajorD

But I could read a book a night before this year.

      E minor 7Em7              D MajorD

And I knew every word, their definition's clear.

      E minor 7Em7               D MajorD

But now in stealth I check thesaurus - it's become my guilty mistress.

   Cadd9Cadd9

So I heave my breath at burning wax,

    Cadd9Cadd9

cause I know that spark ain't coming back.

   Cadd9Cadd9 (palm mute)

And I heave my breath at burning wax,

      Cadd9Cadd9 (one open strum)

cause that spark ain't coming back.

     G+G             Cadd9Cadd9

It is my birthday, I've got all my friends here.

        G+G                 Cadd9Cadd9

We haven't been talking as of lately, They've all found new bros and babies.

    G+G

I have smoked away my pride,

    Cadd9Cadd9

I have smoked away my pride.

     E minor 7Em7              D MajorD

There is nothing but the cinders of it inside.

   E minor 7Em7                  D MajorD

But I believed in more than nothingness last year,

     E minor 7Em7              D MajorD

and under every quiet failure it's still here.

    E minor 7Em7                   D MajorD

Buried breathing under 18 years of tragedy and fear.

      Cadd9Cadd9

If I could crawl my way out of this grave,

   Cadd

just think of all the time I'd save.

   Cadd9Cadd9 (palm mute)

And I heave my breath at burning wax,

       Cadd (one final open strum)

because that spark ain't coming back again.

 G+G                    Cadd9Cadd9

(Stereo's playing the same old songs, the same old songs, but we still hum along)
[X4]

"What up now, lets go!"

    G+G                 Cadd9Cadd9

And in no time we'll be spread across the earth,

    G+G                 Cadd9Cadd9

donning business suits to show the faceless master what we're worth.

     E minor 7Em7           D MajorD

From our Huggies to Armani and it all seems so rehearsed.

   Cadd9Cadd9

So I heave my breath at burning wax,

    Cadd9Cadd9

cause I know that spark ain't coming back.

   Cadd9Cadd9 (palm mute)

And I heave my breath at burning wax,

    Cadd9Cadd9 (one final open strum)

cause that spark ain't coming back.

      G+G
