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

I was younger and restless back then
