I play this on classical guitar. When playing A's and D's throw in occasional
hammers on the 2nd and 3rd fret.
Well the Dsongs you sung spiraled
And F#mhung 'round like echoes
OrEm ripples on a pond A
So you Dcircled the globe
Spent a F#myear on the road
WithouEmt ever going Ahome
More than a Dcouple of days,
Then you’F#md leave right away
Run to aEm girl you barely Aknow
But you Dlike how she sings
And you F#mcan’t help but think
That there??Em?s something that shAe knows and could teach you
Em While you’re sleeping in thaAt southern state
Em Where the bars are filled with Apeople you can’t hate
But Emtry as you try
You Astill can’t relate to them
And you Emdrink that whiskey downA
As they ask you,
?Bm??Are you who youG say youD are?”
ABmre you who you saGy that you are? D
ABmre you who you saGy that you are, yDou…
ADre you who you sDay that you are?
ABmre you who you saGy you aDre? Em G
The fact that Ayou can’t tell makes us like you even more
D F#m Em A
So now you’rDe trying again
Or just F#mvisiting friends
One haEmd just had his heart Abroke
For the first Dtime in his life
He realF#mized there are times
When youEm can’t make itA alone
But now you’rDe giving advice
As if F#myou had the right
To Emuse a word like ?A??love”
It’s a Dnegotiable term
What gets F#msaid’s not what’s heard
So it’Ems different then foAr everyone
But you're stillEm hanging ‘round thAat college town
With youEmr…your new life your new lAover you’ve found
And you’rEme keeping her up at nighAt, bringing her down
She’ll watch yoEmu drink yourself to Adeath
But won’t ask you,
??Bm?is this Greally what you Dwant?”
IBms this reGally what you wDant?
IBms this reallGy what you is this wDhat...
IsBm this really Gwhat you want?
BmIs this reGally what you waDnt? Em G
A D, F#m
Are you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got?
Em A D, F#m
Are you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got?
Yeah that’s it, I think you??Em?re sticking with me now
Because AI’m all you’ve got
D, F#m, Em, A
