Capo: 1.
This is my ukulele adaptation of the chords by John McPherson.
Although the entire mmmhmm album is tuned down a half step, the ukulele does not need to be tuned down,
as these chords are weird and this makes it easy.
Look at the chords I provided, as the names ARE NOT what they are in standard. It's the chord of the
half-step down tuning transposed directly to standard tuning. Don't worry about understanding it.
If you do tune down, make sure you have capo 1.
Feel free to edit and let me know if I did anything wrong.

TuG#2ning: GCA#2EA (standCmard) D# A# G# G#/G A#2/B
(Intro)
G#2(VersA#2e 1) Cm D# G#2 A#2 Cm D# G#2 A#2
D# I watched the proverbial sunrise
G#2 coming up over the Pacific and
Cm you might think I'm losing my mind,
A#2 but I will shy away from the specifics...
G#2 'cause I don't want you to knA#2ow where I aCmm
'cause tG#2hen you'll see my heaA#2rt
in the sCmaddest state it's ever been.
G#2 This is no place to tA#2ry and live my life.
(Pre-Chorus)
SD#top right thD#ere. That's exaA#2ctly where I losA#t it.
G#2 See that liCmne. Well I nA#2ever should have crossed it.
SD#top right thD#ere. Well I neA#2ver should have saA#id
that it's the vG#/Gery moment tG#2hat
I wA#2ish that I could take back.
(Chorus)
D# I'm sorry for the person I became. A#2 Cm
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change. A#2 D#
I'm ready to try and never become that way again A#2 Cm
'cause who I am hates who I've been.G#2
Who I A#2am hates who I've been.
G#2 A#2 Cm D# G#2 A#2 Cm D#
(Verse 2)
D# I talk to absolutely no one.
G#2 Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the thCmings bottled inside have finally begun
to crA#2eate so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.
D# I heard the reverberating footsteps
G#2 sinking up to the beating of my heart,
Cm and I was positive that unless IA#2 got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.
And G#2I can't let that hA#2appen agaiCmn
'cause tG#2hen you'll see my heA#2art
in the Cmsaddest state it's ever been.
G# This is no place to tA#2ry and live my life.
(Pre-Chorus x2)
SD#top right thD#ere. That's exaA#2ctly where I losA#t it.
G#2 See that liCmne. Well I nA#2ever should have crossed it.
SD#top right thD#ere. Well I neA#2ver should have saA#id
that it's the vG#/Gery moment tG#2hat
I wA#2ish that I could take back.
[repeat]
(Chorus)
D# I'm sorry for the person I became. A#2 Cm
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change. A#2 D#
I'm ready to try and never become that way again A#2 Cm
