Standard Tuning

Capo can be used to adjust key for singing.

When I play, I like to transition from D to Dsus4 with a hammer on the high E

string. It's not necessary, but it sounds better I think.

Chords used:

E A D G B E

Verse 1:

=========

G

I never knew perfection ‘til

G/F#

I heard you speak, and now it kills me

Em7

Just to hear you say the simple things.

G

Now waking up is hard to do

G/F#

And sleeping’s impossible too

Em7 Cadd9

Everything’s reminding me of you

Cadd9

What can I do?

Chorus:

========

G G/F#

It’s not right, not okay

Em7 Cadd9

Say the word that you'll say

D

Maybe we’re better off this way

G G/F#

I’m not fine, I’m in pain

Em7 Cadd9

It’s harder everyday

D

Maybe we’re better off this way

D

It’s better that we break..

Verse 2:

=========

G

A fool to let you slip away

G/F#

I chase you just to hear you say

Em7 Cadd9

You’re scared and that you think that I’m insane

G

The city looks so nice from here

G/F#

Pity I can’t see it clearly

Em7 D

While you’re standing there, it disappears

D

It disappears

Bridge:

========

Cadd9 D

Saw you sitting all alone

Cadd9 D

You’re fragile and you’re cold, but that’s all right

Cadd9

Life these days is getting rough

D

It knocks you down and beats you up

Cadd9 D

But it’s just a roller coaster anyway, yeah
