Washington Square Park Acoustic chords by The Wonder Years

Intro:
D D A G x3
D A A G G


Verse:
D
I’m looking for the upsides
G           D
to these panic-attack nights
               A        G
where I’m staying in eating take-out food by TV light
D           G                D
I’m trying to play the b-side to this awkward life of mine
              A      G
You could flip me over I’d sing a few lines about how

Pre Chorus:
G                    A
I’m so used to shooting myself in the kneecaps
             G              A
standing in the way of progress or letting down my friends


Chorus:
   D
I’m nailing shards of hope together
  G       A
to put something over my head
     Bm
because you know here it’s always raining
     G          A
and it happened again. It happened again
       D
She said, “I let this slide when we were younger
G              A
You know you don’t have to write like this
   Bm
The whole world’s full of losers
      G      A
If you get a chance to win, take it”


 Interlude:
D D A G x3
D A A G G


Verse:
D                 G
I stood on the roof with Matt and Molly
                D
Watched the gray slide off the city
            G
because it’s finally spring
D             G
We rode our bikes over to 6th Street
           D     A          G      D
to Washington Square Park to see if the tides would turn for me


Chorus:
   D
I’m nailing shards of hope together
  G       A
to put something over my head
     Bm
because you know here it’s always raining
     G          A
and it happened again. It happened again
       D
She said, “I let this slide when we were younger
G              A
You know you don’t have to write like this
   Bm
The whole world’s full of losers
      G      A
If you get a chance to win, take it”


Outro:
Bm D G G

  D            G
I left a lot of blood in California
    A
on our first trip out west
Bm    D     G
I was younger and restless back then
    D             G
and I thought, if no one’s in my corner
    A
since everyone left
Bm     D    G
I’d better make it worth it
 D
I left a lot of blood in California on our first trip out west
A          G
I was younger and restless back then and I thought,
D
if no one’s in my corner since everyone left
A          G
I’d better make it worth it
  D
I left a lot of blood in California on our first trip out west
N.C.
I was younger and restless back then
