[Notes]
Getting this to sound right is all about the shape
of the Badd4 and Aadd2 chords. Everything else
you can fake. To make the shape, make a standard
B barre chord at the seventh fret and then partially
lift the barre finger [your pointing finger] so that
you play the first two strings as open notes. And you
have to pick the notes. Slide this shape down to the
fifth fret and it becomes the Aadd2, which you also
have to pick.
I've included the simple but surprisingly effective
riffs in the pre-chorus as note names.
[Intro]
Badd4 Aadd2
Badd4 Aadd2
Badd4 Aadd2
[Verse 1]
Badd4How many times can they fill me with lies and I
Aadd2listen again?
Badd4Twisting the truth and they're playin' around with my
Aadd2head ok
Badd4The things they will do and the things they will say But they
Aadd2don't really understand
Badd4Tears fill my eyes when I hear all the cries for the
Aadd2reason today . .
[Pre-Chorus 1]
