Capo: 2 Tuning: E A D G B E
The chorus and bridge have both been broken up in multiple parts: *Chorus 1 is just the chorus *Chorus 2 is the chorus with background refrain *Chorus 3 is also the chorus with background refrain *Bridge 1 is just the bridge *Bridge 2 is the bridge with background chorus *Bridge 3 is the bridge with background chorus AND background refrain Silly chords: Bm[b13]: x24032 [use arched index barre] G: 320033 Em7: 022033 Em: 022003 A6sus4: x02232 G*: 320003 Emadd9/B: x22002 Em9/B: x22032 or x20032 [fun fact: if you use the 2nd variation, this E chord will not in fact contain an E] Em9: 022032 or 020032 For the last two chords, the latter variation can be used if switching to G after proves problematic. [Intro] D Bm[b13] G Em7 D Bm[b13] G Em7 [Verse 1] D Bm[b13] Thinking outrageously I write in cursive

GI come out wearing my Em7brother's red hat D Bm[b13] There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times GHe runs washing his Em7face in his hands
