Embellishments:
In the break on the second barre of Asus, he slides up to 4th fret on the g string then
back down to regular Asus
In the 3rd verse (for "teach, not be taught" and "buy, not be bought") he hammers on the
D string at the second fret for the second barre of the Gadd9
INTRO
Em / Em / Gadd9 / Gadd9 (hammer on the D string 2nd fret)

VERSE 1
EmIf only you'd had known me Gadd9before the accident
EmFor with that grand collision,Gadd9 came a grave consequence
EmReceptors overloaded, Gadd9they burst and disconnect
Em'Til there was little feeling, Gadd9please work with what is left
BREAK: Em / Em / Asus / Asus* / Am / Am7 / Am / Am7
VERSE 2
EmOh I need not be flattered Gadd9that you've never been here before
EmSo there's no need to mention Gadd9that you've no firsts anymore
EmBut if you let me be your skyline,Gadd9 I'll let you be the wave
EmThat reduces me to rubble that Gadd9looked safe from far away
CHORUS
C/GI don't know why I don't know why
EmI return to the scenes of these crimes
C/GWhere the hedgerows slowly wind
EmThrough the ghosts of Beverly Drive
C/GI don't know why I don't know why
EmI don't know what I expect to find
C/GWhere all the news is second hand
AmAnd everything just goes on as planned
BREAK: Em / Em / Asus / Asus* / Am / Am7 / Am / Am7
VERSE 3
Em Gadd9 (hammer on D string 2nd fret)
You wanna teach but not be taught
Em Gadd9 (hammer on D string 2nd fret)
And I wanna sell but not be bought
EmSo let us not be lonesome, Gadd9let us not be lonesome
EmLost in between our needs aGadd9nd wants
CHORUS
C/GI don't know why I don't know why
EmI return to the scenes of these crimes
C/GWhere the hedgerows slowly wind
EmThrough the ghosts of Beverly Drive
C/GI don't know why I don't know why
EmI don't know what I expect to find
C/GWhere all the news is second hand
AmAnd everything just goes on as planned
