Try To Remember Forget Acoustic chords by Say Anything

"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                 Cadd9

It is my birthday, It is a new year.

            G                Cadd9

I should be happy, that I am still here.

           G                    Cadd

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

       G                       Cadd9

Try to remember, forget how my brain works.

            Em7                             D

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

           Em7                            D

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

           Em7                              D

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

     Cadd9

So I heave my breath at burning wax,

       Cadd9

cause I know that spark ain't coming back.

      Cadd9 (palm mute)

And I heave my breath at burning wax,

           Cadd9 (one open strum)

cause that spark ain't coming back.

         G                         Cadd9

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

                G                                 Cadd9

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

       G

I have smoked away my pride,

       Cadd9

I have smoked away my pride.

         Em7                           D

There is nothing but the cinders of it inside.

      Em7                                    D

But I believed in more than nothingness last year,

          Em7                            D

and under every quiet failure it's still here.

       Em7                                     D

Buried breathing under 18 years of tragedy and fear.

           Cadd9

If I could crawl my way out of this grave,

     Cadd

just think of all the time I'd save.

      Cadd9 (palm mute)

And I heave my breath at burning wax,

             Cadd (one final open strum)

because that spark ain't coming back again.

  G                                       Cadd9

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

"What up now, lets go!"

       G                                 Cadd9

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

        G                                  Cadd9

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

         Em7                      D

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

     Cadd9

So I heave my breath at burning wax,

       Cadd9

cause I know that spark ain't coming back.

      Cadd9 (palm mute)

And I heave my breath at burning wax,

       Cadd9 (one final open strum)

cause that spark ain't coming back.

            G
