I was actually about to draft a chord for "Weathered" by The Hotel Year when I saw that I had this half
completed from months ago. I had some trouble back then trying to figure it out, but Matthew Florio's tab
helped a bunch with the chord progressions. I also want to give credit to PLyrics.com for the lyrics. This
seems spot on. I hope you all like it!

                                    When you took...

Verse 1:
                   D        Em                 C
When you took that ring off, balled it in your fist
C                   D       Em                 C          C
Eyes like a smoking gun, surprised at what you did
   D                        Em                      C       C
So don't even think for one second you're following me in
   D              Em          C       C
My parents are home, so is my kid


Pre-Chorus:
        Am        Bm             C
Just go on. That house that you hate
     C             Em          D        C      C
That house that we bought and failed to make


Verse 2:
                   D        Em           C
When you took that ring off, I sat there stunned
C                D       Em                   C      C
Parked out in my car, surprised at what you'd done
    D                      Em                   C            C
The courage that must have took left me utterly speechless
    D                       Em                       C           C
And though it came as no surprise I still couldn't believe it


Pre-Chorus:
     Em    D       C           Em    D       C
eb|-------------------------|--------------------------|

Eb|-------------------------|--------------------------|

Em        D         C        C
   You'll never be happy
Em        D         C        C
   You'll never be happy


Chorus:
                   Em
But it was all for nothing
                  C
Yeah it was all a waste
            G  D/F#            Am
You held on tight and for dear life
                   C
But it was all for nothing


Verse 3:
                   D        Em                C
When you took that ring off, threw it at your feet
    C            D     Em                C      C
You didn't say a word, much less look at me
    D                      Em                     C          C
The courage that must have took I just couldn't believe it
        D                               Em                         C         C
In that moment you were perfect, and it made all the bullshit seem worth it


Chorus:
                   Em
But it was all for nothing
                  C
Yeah it was all a waste
            G  D/F#            Am
You held on tight and for dear life
                   G
But it was all for nothing
                  C
Yeah it was all a waste
            Em       D/F#
You held on tight
            (Held on tight)
             Am
And for dear life
             (For dear life)
                   C
But it was all for nothing
                   (Held on tight and for dear life)

   You'll never be happy


Chorus:
                     Em
Cause it was all for nothing
             C
It was all a waste
            G  D/F#            Am
You held on tight and for dear life

Yea it was all a waste

       When you took off that ring
(We held on tight     and     for dear life)
                       C
When you took off that ring
                   (We held on tight)
