Capo: 3
This is a rather tricky song for a beginner with some odd chord changes that will be difficult but stick with it
it is a hell of a song to play and pull off live.
Thoughts for performance:
1) Its an uptempo song, play it moderately fast
2) During the halftime feel parts (i.e You're feeling numb, from all that has become.) play the chord 4 times on
the upbeat it sounds close to the song and it adds a bit of interest to a repetative song.
3) There are easier ways to play those chords I just like the jazzier and not as full sound that the half muted
chords have, play to taste
4) Follow the singer, this is a lyrically driven song so do your best to follow the singer
Capo 3 is truer to the song since it was written on a guitar in drop c but feel free to move it around to match
your voice.

Interlude-
Em - C - Am - F#7 - B7
Verse:
EmI can't believe,
CThe drama that I'm in,
AmThe flood is getting closer,
F#7I don't think they B7know that I know how to swim,
EmYou're feeling numb,C from all that has become.Am
It leaves your gums, slips down your tonF#7gue,
and travels fB7ast down towards your lAmungs.
All be Am/Bcause CI (F#7leaving B7you Embehind)
Chorus:
EmI feel the pressure,
CIt's coming down on me,
AmIt's turning me black and F#7blue!B7
(rest over this for effect)
Oh whoa
EmYou left me on the Cside of the road (side of the road!)
AmAnd now I've got no place to F#7go, B7
You brought the floodEm!
The changes are the same throughout the rest of the song I thought the heavy part didnt really fit for an
open mic style acoustic rendition of the song but whatever:) Hope you enjoyed and keep on rocking
