I didn't like the way any of the chords found here sounded
(they didn't sound right to me) so I figured out something that sounds much better,
and pretty close to what's played live / on Fading West.
Enjoy!
Don't be intimidated by the crazy looking chord names, they're really pretty straightforward!
(There's only 3 of them, and they're listed at the bottom). I *think* they're named correctly
(based on a website I found online)
This is all in CAPO 3
[Intro]
G5add13 Dsus2 X2
[Verse 1]
G5add13
Talking to myself in a land locked parking lot
Dsus2Cough drop dripping from my mouth like a long shot
G5add13 Dsus2
My writers block ink, oh oh oh
G5add13
Sick of all the small talk dripping non-stop
Bm11 Dsus2 G5add13
From the open mouth graves of the faux-hawk cinderblock malls
My blood clot pen, oh oh Dsus2oh
[Pre-Chorus 1]
G5add13
Maybe I could break clean
Maybe I could break Asusclean A
[Chorus]
When I’m on your Dshore again
I can feel the Gocean
I can feel your Bmopen arms
Like pure eGmotion
I’m finally Dfree again
Like my own exGplosion
When I’m on your Bmshore again
I can feel the Gocean
[Verse 2]
G5add13
Saltwater running through my veins like a blind spot,
Dsus2Like I got caught, saltwater like a tear drop
G5add13 Dsus2
With a saltwater heart, oh oh oh
G5add13
It’s an abstract thought but I’ve been thinking non-stop
About the Bm11fact that my body’s made Dsus2most out of rain drops
G5add13 Dsus2
With a saltwater heart, oh oh oh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
G5add13
Maybe I could wash clean
Maybe I could wash Asusclean A
[Chorus]
When I’m on your Dshore again
I can feel the Gocean
I can feel your Bmopen arms
Like pure eGmotion
I’m finally Dfree again
Like my own exGplosion
When I’m on your Bmshore again
I can feel the Gocean
[Interlude]
D G Bm G X2
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Maybe I could wash Gclean
Maybe I could wash Asusclean
All my land locked Bmdreams
Maybe I could beA/C#lieve
[Chorus]
N.C.When I’m on your shore again
N.C.I can feel the ocean
N.C.I can feel your open arms
N.C.Like pure emotion
I’m finally Dfree again
Like my own exGplosion
When I’m on your Bmshore again
I can feel the Gocean
[Outro]
