Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Key: B
  • Difficulty: Advanced 🤯
Verse 1:
    B
You fall into the other place
  E/B
A smile you've missed in a brand new face
        B                            F#
And the promises you made they slip away
              B
You tell yourself that it don't mean that much
     E
It's where the itch and the hard nail touch
    B                                 F#/Bb
What she don't know won't hurt her anyway

Pre-chorus:
        G#m            E                B/Eb              F#/Bb
Blind devotion, silent war, the boy and girl asleep next door
G#m               Gdim      G#m    D#7
Sleeping with the enemy you trust
Chorus:
       E           F#            B      D#7
Fallen Leaves, are filling up my street
       E         F#                 B  D#7
Fallen Leaves, I kick them from my feet
       E              F#
It's just the way the old world turns
D#7                   D#
It's the only way we learn
     E                    F#            E        F#      B
What she don't know won't hurt her, and now it's killing me

Verse 2:
B
When the whole thing hits the skids
E/B
She can only think about the kids
B                                   F#
Not where we've been but what comes next
          B
You said "It didn't mean that much to me"
       E
That's not the point now she can see
B                                     F#
You broke the only thing that you had left

Pre-chorus:
      G#m              E                B/Eb             F#
Blind devotion, silent war, the boy and girl asleep next door
G#m               Gdim      G#m   C#dim
Sleeping with the enemy you trust

Chorus:
       E           F#            B     D#7
Fallen Leaves, are filling up my street
       E         F#                B    D#7
Fallen Leaves, I kick them from my feet
     E                F#
It's just the way the old world turns
D#7                   B/F#
It's the only way we learn
     E                    F#            E        F#      B
What she don't know won't hurt her, and now it's killing me

Bridge:
D#m         E             B      F#/Bb
She says it doesn't matter anymore
G#m           E           B            F#/Bb
No-one is the winner baby in a one-all draw
D#m                 E
A woman scorned and all the rest
G#m                F#
She who laughs the last laughs best
     E                    F#        E        F#/Bb   B
What she don't know won't hurt her, now it's killing me

Chorus:
E                  F#            B
Fallen Leaves, are filling up my street
       E         F#                B
Fallen Leaves, I kick them from my feet
     E                F#
It's just the way the old world turns
D#7                  G#m G#
It's the only way we learn
     E                    F#        E        F#      B
What she don't know won't hurt her, now it's killing me
     E                    F#            E        F#      B
What she don't know won't hurt her, and now it's killing me
