So acoustically anyway, Broods play this in the key of B.
I'm not sure of the chord name, but if you play the B on the 7th fret and leave the 1st and 2nd strings open
during the chorus, it gives it that really nice dissident sound. The E minors here are basically just bass
notes to assist with the transition from B to G#m, and can be added and removed as you see fit.
Intro (and basically the whole song): B Em G#m Em B...
B (Em) G#m (Em)
...The nights are getting shorter
B...I don't know where they G#mgo Em
B...I am getting oG#mlder
B...And it's starting to showG#m
(Em) B
And ever since I left my mother
It's much harder to G#mknow
How to make my own Blife here
How to make my own G#mhome
Chorus:
EmI don't wanna wake up lBonely
(Em) G#m
I don't wanna just be fine
I don't wanna keep on hBoping
Forget what I had in minG#md
(Em) B
I don't wanna wake up lonely
I don't wanna just be fiG#mne
I don't wanna keep on hBoping
Forget what I had in minG#md
ForEmget what I had in mind B
I remBember the time when a kiss on the hand wasG#m enough
'Cause we Bknew we were free and we knew what it meant to be G#mloved
(Em) B
But ever since I left my father
It's much harder tG#mo know
How to live my own lBife here
When all I need is hG#mome
[Repeat chorus]
And so on. Sorry, I don't normally post these, but this song is freaking great and wanted to post the acoustic
version. Feel free to post corrections
