Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Capo on 7th
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: Em

Pretty easy way of playing this great song. Sounds good enough on the acoustic.

During the intro and verse, A11 and Am7 are small variations that sound pretty good. I play them like this:
A11: x00000
Am7: x02213

Intro:
Am Am A11 Am

Am Am A11

Verse 1:
Am F    G    Am
A sad fact widely known
     A11 Am
The most impassionate song to a lonely soul
    F     G  Am
Is so easily outgrown
Am                    A11 Am
But don't forget the songs that made you smile
     F      G     Am
And the songs that made you cry
 Am         A11   Am
When you lay in awe on the bedroom floor
     F     G         Am
And said "oh, oh, smother me mother"

Chorus:
F      Em    F      Em     Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
 F  Em      F      Em     Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F  Em        F     G    Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di

Verse 2:
   Am       A11 Am
The passing of time and all of its crimes
   F    G    Am
Is making me sad again
  Am        A11      Am
The passing of time and all of its sickening crimes
  F     G     Am
Is making me sad again
Am                    A11 Am
But don't forget the songs that made you cry
     F      G     Am
And the songs that saved your life
 Am         A11      Am
Yes, you're older now and you're a clever swine
          F       G         Am
But they were the only ones who ever stood by you

Chorus:
F Em F Em Am x2
F Em F G Am

Verse 3:
   Am       A11  Am
The passing of time leaves empty lives
F    G      Am
waiting to be filled
   Am      Am7  Am
The passing of time leaves empty lives
F    G      Am
waiting to be filled
Am                    A11 Am
I'm here with the cause, I'm holding the torch
     F      G      Am
In the corner of your room (can you hear me?)
Am                 A11  Am
And when you're dancing and laughing and finally living
     F           G          Am
Hear my voice in your head and think of me kindly

Chorus:
F      Em    F      Em     Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
 F  Em      F      Em     Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F  Em        F     G    Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di

Middle:
Am C  D        F
Do you love me like you used to?
E    F G
Oh...

Chorus:
F      Em    F      Em     Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
 F  Em      F      Em     Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F  Em        F     G    Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di

Outro:
F      Em    F      Em     Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
 F  Em      F      Em     Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F  Em        F     G    Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di
F      Em    F      Em     Am
Oh, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
 F  Em      F      Em     Am
Oh na na na, la da dey, la da dey, la da dey
F  Em        F     G    Am
Oh la day, la da da dey di la da da dey di

You are sleeping - you do not want to believe
N.C.
You are sleeping
