Play around with it to get the choking right
In the recording, it changes up in the post chorus a little bit, but can be played without change
There's also some variation throughout the song
NOTE: At the end of each verse, there is an extra measure of timing added (for dramatic effect I guess)
[Intro]
Amaj7 Dmaj7b5 E13 E (x2)
[Verse 1]
N.C.
Drain a bottle of Amaj7cheap red wine Drift off and fall Dmaj7b5asleep at night Grab my coat and take aE13 walk outside Light a smoke and kiss my Eyouth goodbyeYou see I'm just as good at Amaj7wasting time
As John n' Paul were good at Dmaj7b5making rhymes
Why do all the good onesE13 have to die?
I wish I thought of that,E
before I made you cry
[Pre-chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7b5 E13 E
[Chorus]
Amaj7Don't write your letters Dmaj7b5to me
E13Don't get wasted at theE party
Amaj7Don't address your letters Dmaj7b5to me
E13Don't get wasted at the Eparty
[Post-chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7b5 E13 E (x2)
E13
[Verse 2]
Why don't we Amaj7wait?
Why do Dmaj7b5I take the bait?
I'm filled with E13so much hate
I'm sure you Efeel the same
Fly down the Amaj7interstate
I run a Dmaj7b5little late
Dinner E13starts at 8
But you don't Eknow, this is our last date
[Chorus]
Amaj7Don't write your letters Dmaj7b5to me
E13Don't get wasted at theE party
Amaj7Don't address your letters Dmaj7b5to me
E13Don't get wasted at the Eparty (Ohhhh)
[Post-chorus]
Amaj7 Dmaj7b5 E13 E (x2)
E13
[Outro]
My hands Amaj7begin to shake
Why do I Dmaj7b5take the bait?
I'm filled with E13so much hate
I wish EI could stay
Amaj7
