Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 3rd

Seems that this band is almost unheard of, but this song is pretty good.
Tab is related to capo on 3rd.

Intro:
(In this part D MajorD is replaced with Dsus2Dsus2 xx0230: because you need one finger for the hammer-on,
in chorus regular D MajorD is played)

1st Verse:
B minorBm         D MajorD
You said don’t dye your hair
A augmentedA
You said he was a dream
G+G              B minorBm
I was 19, I could have sworn
D MajorD        A augmentedA  G+G
He knew me better

    B minorBm
And four years on
           D MajorD
You say the thrill is gone
      A augmentedA           G+G B minorBm
And he’s heading down again tonight
D MajorD            A augmentedA  G+G  B minorBm
You should have known better

          D MajorD
And forgive these things you said
       A augmentedA         G+G   B minorBm
For they’re not what they used to be
D MajorD             A augmentedA   G+G
Yeah, I should have known better

Chorus:
(Strum the same chords you were picking in intro/verse)

        B minorBm
And you were a soft shirt
        D MajorD
You were a soft shirt
       A augmentedA         G+G
You were a penny on these dying eyes
       B minorBm
I wrote you a letter
        D MajorD
And mailed it in pieces
           A augmentedA
Laced it through love songs
     G+G
And crack lullabies

2nd Verse:
       B minorBm
Your roar on speakers
          D MajorD
Your battered old sneakers
     A augmentedA         G+G
And your wool cap pulled so low against the cold
   B minorBm     D MajorD       A augmentedA  G+G
I will use this long and crooked arm

       B minorBm
To fire the flares
        D MajorD
To send out the alarm
   A augmentedA       G+G
That these hideous hands
       B minorBm D MajorD       A augmentedA   G+G
Will scatter all your best laid plans

(For just this part STOP picking and instead STRUM the chords once and let ring)

       B minorBm         D MajorD
Alone in the dark I set off the spark
     A augmentedA        G+G
It will burn down every boy

Who made you happy
