Tuning: E A D G B E
Note: This song is obviously played on the piano so the chording can be tricky to make it match exactly.
Any variation of the chords will work, but I always try to get as many strings involved to have it mirror the
fullness of the piano.
[Verse 1]
I C/Gcan’t tell you what it meGans
When you are hD/F#ere, I am at easeEm
I C/Gdon’t blame you when you’re gonGe
For the sD/F#adness in my songEm
C/G That weight is mine alone,G that shadow is my own
D/F# The coast is never clEmear
C/G I’ll wait for morning thougGh, you will arrive
So we canD/F# watch that shadow disaEmppear
[Chorus]
If you Ctry to be Gwith me, I will tDry to get bGy
Some say I’m a Cfool for Emwaiting
They don’t know, this Gfool doesn’t Cmind
They tell me “GGive it up”C
But I won’t ever Ggive it uEmp
[Verse 2]
BC/Gecause when the night does faGde
I’m alD/F#ive in the strangest Emway
ThoseC/G first few cracks of Gdawn
Are a D/F#taste of what’s to comeEm
And C/Gyes I hum and Ghaw about nothing at alD/F#l
I get lost in Emfear
BuC/Gt no thief or act of godG could take this grin I’ve D/F#got
I know you will be Emhere
[Chorus]
If you Ctry to be Gwith me, I will tDry to get byG
Some say I’m a Cfool for Emwaiting
They don’t know, this Gfool doesn’t Cmind
They tell me “GGive it up”C
But I won’t ever Ggive it uEmp
[Bridge]
Ah, they tell me…
C So what she’s in your head?
D She’s gonna leave again?
Em What’s gonna happen then?
G She’s just enabling
C And there is truth to that
D But I ain’t holding back
Em If you try, Gtry, try
[Chorus]
C If you try to bGe with me, I willD try to get byG
Some say I’m a Cfool for Emwaiting
They don’t know, this Gfool doesn’t Cmind
C If you try to bGe with me, I willD try to get bGy
Some say I’m a Cfool for Emwaiting
They don’t know, this Gfool doesn’t Cmind
They tell me “GGive it up”Em
But I won’t ever Ggive it uCp
They tell me “GGive it up”C
But I won’t ever Ggive it uCp
