Tuning:

SONG: Point / Counterpoint ARTIST: Streetlight Manifesto The fill between verses that goes D A E A can alternately be played A D E in some places. I think it sounds better, although the first one is more accurate to the original song. Try slowing the tempo of the song if you're having trouble. [Chorus]

^E I've got a ^Dgun in my ^Ahand but that ^Egun won't ^Acock And my ^Dfinger's on the ^Atrigger but that ^Etrigger seems ^Alocked And I ^Dcan't stop ^Astaring at the ^Etick-tock ^Aclock And ^Deven if I ^Acould I would ^Enever give ^Aup With a ^Dvest on ^Amy chest, a ^Ebullet in my ^Alung I ^Dcan't believe I'm ^Adying with my ^Esong un^Asung So ^Dif and when I ^Adie, won't you ^Ebury me ^Aalone? Because I'll ^Dnever get to ^Aheaven if I'm ^Esinging this ^Asong:

E D A E A [x4] [Verse 1]

If there was something ^Dwrong would you be oh-so ^Astrong? Would you do what it takes to ^Dmove this hollow life ^Aalong? I'd like to think I would, you ^Dknow I'd like to think I would ^A But I can guarantee that ^Dwhat you see is not reali^Aty And every time she makes a ^Dpoint, I make a counterpoint ^A She said it's easy but ^Din the end you'll have no^A choice And you know, ^Dthat's only just the way it ^Agoes [You said it right man, ^Dthat is just the way it g^Aoes]

[Prechorus]

And the days, and the ^Ddays they seem like ^Aforever And the days, and the ^Ddays they seem like ^Aforever But ^Dforever isn't ever ^Aenough

[Verse 2]

I'd like to sing a ^Dsong -- Promise you won't be long ^A I'll try not to be long but ^DI don't want to get this story ^Awrong There was a kid who never ^Dcared about the little things ^A Don't even bother because I'm ^Dtired and I'm sick of it ^A And every time she makes a ^Dpoint, I'll make a counterpoint ^A She said it's easy but ^Din the end you'll have no ^Achoice And you know that's ^Donly just the way it ^Agoes [You said it right man, ^Dthat is just the way it ^Egoes]

D E [Chorus]

^E I've got a ^Dgun in my ^Ahand but that ^Egun won't ^Acock And my ^Dfinger's on the ^Atrigger but that ^Etrigger seems ^Alocked And I ^Dcan't stop ^Astaring at the ^Etick-tock ^Aclock And ^Deven if I ^Acould I would ^Enever give ^Aup With a ^Dvest on my ^Achest, a ^Ebullet in my ^Alung I ^Dcan't believe I'm ^Adying with my ^Esong un^Asung So ^Dif and when I ^Adie, won't you ^Ebury me ^Aalone? Because I'll ^Dnever get to ^Aheaven if I'm ^Esinging this ^Asong:

[Bridge]

^BOh, you ^Ddon't know where I've ^Abeen D A E A [x2]

^BOh, you ^Ddon't know what I've ^Aseen D A E A [x2]

[Verse 3]

^AIf I did something ^Dright, would you give up this ^Afight? Would you say you were wrong and ^Dmaybe someone else was kind of ^Aright I'd like to think you would, you ^Dknow I'd like to think you would ^A But I can guarantee that ^Dwhat you get is an apolo^Agy Jump back to the ^Dday we met, I never ^A Thought that it would ^Dend this way, if ever ^A I let you ^Ddown, I want to ask of ^Ayou To take it down a ^Dnotch and we can talk it on ^Athrough

[Prechorus]

And the days, and the ^Ddays they seem like ^Aforever And the days, and the ^Ddays they seem like ^Aforever But ^Dforever isn't ever ^Aenough

[Verse 4]

I'd like to sing a ^Dsong -- Promise you won't be long ^A I'll try not to be long but ^DI don't want to get this story ^Awrong There was a chick who never ^Dcared about the little things ^A Don't bother, 'cause I ^Dstill don't give a shit ^A And every time she makes a ^Dpoint, I'll make a counterpoint ^A She said it's easy but ^Din the end you'll have no ^Achoice And you know that's ^Donly just the way it ^Agoes [You said it right man, ^Dthat is just the way it ^Egoes]

D E [Chorus]

[Bridge]

^BOh, you ^Ddon't know where I've ^Abeen D A E A [x2]

^BOh, you ^Ddon't know what I've ^Aseen D A E A [x6] [mute last A]

[Bridge Verse 1]

^ASo tell me friend: how's it going to end? When the ^Dshit goes down and there's no one left around to get your back You'll ^Acrack, you'll smile and agree With every^Dthing they say, they'll try to tell you that it's all okay But it's ^Anot and you're shot, you're bleeding pretty bad and you ^Dcan't stop thinking about the things you never had Like a ^Awife and a kid and the things you never did You're ^Drunning around, you're living a life that's ^Aempty in the end, my ^Dfriend

D A E A [x2] [Bridge]

^BNo, you'll ^Dtake back all you've ^Asaid D A E A [x2]

^BOh, when the ^Dregrets fill your ^Ahead D A E A [x2]

[Bridge Verse 2]

^BTrust me I've been there ^Dbefore I would not wish it up^Bon my greatest enemy What ^Dirony, once friends, but I ^Bfind: you'll have to ^Dlearn this lesson on your ^Aown

D A E A [x4] [Verse 5]

^Dso I waited by the ^Aphone but that ^Ephone never ^Arang and I ^Dsang so ^Aloud so I wouldn't ^Ehear the bang ^A when the ^Dbang never ^Acame and I ^Enever got the ^Acall ^DFuck it! ^AThank you! I ^Elove you ^Aall! Oh, ^Dsome are going to ^Asay that we're ^Edoomed to re^Apeat All our ^Dpast mistakes, ^Agreat, but ^Ethat's not ^Ame and ^Deven if it ^Awas I would ^Ealways disa^Agree because ^Din the end I ^Aalways get the ^Ebetter of ^Ame

D A E A [x2] [Chorus]

[Bridge]

^BOh, I'll ^Dtake you where I've ^Abeen D A E A [x2]

^BOh, I'll ^Dshow you what I've ^Aseen D A E A [x4]
