this is mostly just what the bass is doing, it works just fine as chords to play this unplugged-style. the persistent choppy guitar is mostly just 5 5 5 5 7 7 7 7 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x x but i don't know that there's much way to work that in if you're not playing on top of a bassline so i just left them out. The D# just before the chorus is just a passing tone so you could easily leave it out completely; if you do play it, rather than barring it to play it properly I just slide up from D for xxx343 and then play the Em of the chorus as xxx453. It's got closer to the right sound anyway. Intro/Verse: G Bm Em Am C
I promise Geverything's alright, it's just I think of you someBmtimes I like to Emstay up after midnight and listen for the chimes
We used to Amhear...so loud and Cclear But I Dhaven't heard that D#song in years
Chorus:
Em A wise old Dman was once heard to Amsay
"The things that always cause us the most pain
Em Are those from Dwhich we are always The Amleast prepared to walk away
That's Cprobably why I Dhad you on the Embrain.
Verse 2:
When I Glearned I couldn't count on you when I was my most Bmdesperate When Emnothing that you said was true, and breaking down my es-
p-rit des Amcorps (...) was your most beloved Cchore
Still I couldn't close the iron door
I Gsaved a little face; it was a fool's Bmeconomy It Emended in disgrace, screaming "get the hell away from me"
I Amput you in your place. I knew you wouldn't stay there But you Chad such vulgar taste, you even Dhad the gall to D#ask for car fare
Chorus 2:
Em I thought of Dcalling you up yesterdaAmy,
And then I came rushing back to my good senses
Em It was all DI could do just to obey: Am I started hearing voices Cwarning me to Dmake good choicesEm
Solo break (if you keep it at all, which if you're playing by yourself, I wouldn't)/Verse 3: G Bm Em Am C
I Gsaw your shadow play and thought "What kind of Bmfarce is this?" But Emwhat I said was "a dying breed." Your smile was disarming
'Cause Amnothing is more charming than a narcissist with whom you've just agCreed Make good Dchoices, thank you D#very much inEmdeed
Chorus 3:
Em I used to Ddream of you nightly; I would Amwake up screaming Em I'll try to Dput it politely: when Amyou're not near my heart rejoices. Don't come near me, make good choices.
Em Your face was Dperfectly straight; you said that, "AmBasically, Most Empeople hate their friends," and DI say it depends- I have so Ammuch, so much I want to tell you,
C And Dnowhere to beEmgin.
