Capo: 2
Tuning: G C E A
Like a lot of Jason's songs this one was originally on Piano but is a fairly simple
song to play on the Uke with only 4 basic chords (a lot of Jason's songs can be played C-G-Am-F).
Capo is up to the person playing, I play no capo or capo on 2nd fret depending on how my voice is feeling.
[Verse]
CAfter a couple glasses,
GThe floorboards don't feel so AmsecGure.
And I'm aCfraid I could really go Fdown tonight.
I'm out-Cnumbered by the ashes,
Held Ghostage by the AmdooGr.
And the Cair in here is so damn Floud tonight.
[Chorus]
But I've Fgot this old four-by-six Gphotograph,
Your fCace pressed up against my shoulder,
FLittle pools of salt mark where Ctears have Gdried.
And I've Fgot this big needle Gstuck in my chest,
So Cdeep it's starting to tickle.
I'm a Fthousand miles from the Gchimera I Amchase.
FLove is a Gsadness with a Cface. G
[Verse]
CThere's a darkness in all wanting,
My Gintentions all feel AmstaGined,
And the CDevil keeps filling my Fglass tonight.
My Cadrenaline is clotting,
And the Gfaces in here all seem AmstrGange.
But I Cjust want to touch something that'll Flast tonight.
[Chorus]
If I could Fjust taste one sip of an Ganswer,
Maybe CI could break out of this drunkard's prison.
I'm Fhomesick for a place I might have Cnever Gseen.
Something Fmore than these old feet Gbrought me here,
So these Cfeet can't take me away.
FNo I didn't Gget here on my Amown,
Whoever Fbrought me here's gonna Ghave to bring me Chome.G
[Chorus]
But I've Fgot this old four-by-six Gphotograph,
Your fCace pressed up against my shoulder,
FLittle pools of salt mark where Ctears have Gdried.
Something Fmore than these old feet Gbrought me here,
So these Cfeet can't take me away.
I'm a Fthousand miles from the Gchimera I Amchase.
FHome is a Gsadness, not a Cplace.G F G C
