This is a chord transcription from a promo copy of the album. The G chord Conor uses in rhythm (which is what I'm transcribing) isn't a standard shape. I will site it as a G it's a little different: E|-3-| A|-x-| D|-0-| G|-0-| B|-3-| e|-x-| And on the D during the verses you should play around with the chord a bit, I like to the G string up with the rhythm. Just listen to the song and you'll understand. D

^DI´m just trying to stay a^G human^D being ^DSitting in the sun eating ^Gice ^Dcream ^DTexting my friend about a ^Gbad bad ^Ddream ^DJust had to tell someone who ^Gknows ^Dme

^DBut I don´t got time for this^G cuckoo^D clock ^DAnd I don´t wanna go to your^G Mason^D Lodge ^DThere´s nothing more sad than a^G lynching^D mob ^DFull of rational men who ^Gbelieve in ^DGod

^ABut nothing makes sense when the wave rolls through ^ANothing makes sense when the wave come ^Dthrough ^ASo it could have been me or it could have been you ^AWhatever is in me is whatever is in ^Dyou

^DMy neighbor dreams big because his ^Ghouse is ^Dsmall ^DSays all he needs now is some ^Gcapital ^D ^DIt´s a pirate world it´s ^Ga free-fo^Dr-all ^DThey take your bright ideas and they ^Gmake them ^Ddull

^DBut everyone I see I think I´ve^G known be^Dfore ^DFrom the opera house to the ^Ggrocery ^Dstore ^DMy love for them I ^Gcannot ig^Dnore ^DLike a human voice in a quiet morgue

^ABut I don´t want to wear no dead man´s suit ^AI don´t want to wear no dead man´^Ds suit ^AI don´t want to wait until the moon gets blue ^AI don´t want to wait until the moon turns^D blue

^BmWell it´s all just a^A fix ^BmJust one little ^Ahit You'll hold it in ^D

^DSitting on a plane chewing ^Gnicorett^De ^DParadise lost haven´t fo^Gund it y^Det ^DWill you talk me down if I ^Gget up^Dset´ ^DBe the cool washcloth to my ^Gfevered ^Dhead

^ABecause I don´t want to dream if it won´t come true ^AI don´t want to dream if it don´t com^De true ^AIf there´s something in me well I guess it´s in you ^AIf there´s somewhere in me then I know it´s i^Dn you

Solo - Same verse progression.

^BmWell it´s all just a^A fix ^BmJust one little ^Ahit You´re holding in^D ^DYou´ll hold it in ^DYou´re holding in ^DYou´ll hold it in

^AAnd I don´t want to dream if it won´t come true ^AI don´t want to dream if it don´t com^De true ^AIf there´s something in me well I guess it´s in you ^AIf there´s something in me well I guess it´s in you ^EWhatever happens to me it´s going to happen to you ^EWhatever happens to me it´s going to happen to you
