Strumming
Tuning: D A D G B E
Tuning: Drop D
[Note]
Picking pattern is played in the verses, pre-chorus and outro.
In the chorus mainly play the bass notes on the low D string hit the A string in between.
When playing only chords mainly hit the lower strings for the best sound! :)
The strumming for the chorus should all be played muted, but as there's no way to represent a strum which
is both muted and accented, the heavier strums have been left unmuted to show the contrast.

[Verse 1]
Dadd4Last night I smoked a cigarette
Gmaj7My dad would have been so upEmset
Dadd4Then we got tattoos by the coast
Gmaj7And I stood there just like a Emghost
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I’m an Dadd4old soul trapped in a young body
Maybe you don’t Gmaj7really want me there at your Embirthday party
I’ll be Dadd4there in the corner, thinking right over
Gmaj7Every single word of the Emconversation we just had
[Chorus]
Dadd4So why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Gmaj7Why am I like this? Why am I Emlike this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Dadd4Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I like this? Why am I...
Gmaj7why am I like this? Em
[Verse 2]
Dadd4I saw a girl crying on the train
Gmaj7Gin and tonic from a can to ease the Empain
Dadd4I never asked if she was OK
Gmaj7She just got up and walked aEmway
[Bridge]
Bm It's like I'm looking Adown from the ceiling aboEmve
Never in the G5moment, never giving enough
Bm Let’s go out and Ashout the words we never said Em

[Chorus]
