CAPO on 4th Fret
Tabbed by cj123green
Try and keep an upbeat strum pattern, listen to song / video for more of an audio example
The G* is a barre-chord G, where you slide from the F position
At the end of lines such as "...he told you no one every really dies" there is a sort of transitional slide
played on something based off of an open G chord, although I am unsure of exactly how to describe it. See
attached video.
[Verse]
C E Am (walkdown) Am - G - F
Some day you will grow up and learn to lie
F C G
Just like your daddy did when he told you no one ever really dies
C E Am (walkdown) Am - G - F
Hope that I'm not there when you reali-ize
C G F C
That those with their nose in their air will never look you in the eyes
[Chorus]
Am C
And we will go toe to toe
F C
Like David and Goliath
E Am
Who will be Goliath
F C
And will you throw the stone
Am C
I don't know, yeah I don't know
F C
Said the man with all of the answers
E Am
If he don't have the answers
F C
How will I ever know?
[Verse]
Am G F C
I knew an old man with nothing to do but wait
C G F C
He invited himself and he still showed up late
Am G F C
When it came to the end of the night he would always overstay
Am F Am
But I never had a reason to complain
G F C
'Till one day when he stopped showing up and I missed his company
[Chorus]
Am C
And we will go toe to toe
F C
Like David and Goliath
E Am
Who will be Goliath
F C
And will you throw the stone
Am C
I don't know, yeah I don't know
F C
Said the man with all of the answers
E Am
If he don't have the answers
F C
How will I ever know?
[Verse]
F C G Am F
And I don't care what you do with the little time that everyone gets
F C G Am F
As long as you do the math, make a path that will never hurt anyone else
F C G Am
Although they'll hurt you make them sure they burned you
F G* E
You will not forget
[Instrumental Break]
Am C F C E Am F C Am C F C E Am F C
[Bridge to Last Chorus]
C G F
Someday I will find you and walk on by
F C G
And you’ll say how have you been, and I’ll say I’ve been fine
C E Am (walkdown) Am - G - F
We will both know that it's a lie
C G F C
Turns out what I figured out is I was wrong and you were right
[Chorus]
Am C
And we will go toe to toe
F C
Like David and Goliath
E Am
Who will be Goliath
F C
And will you throw the stone
Am C
I don't know, yeah I don't know
F C
Said the man with all of the answers
E Am
If he don't have the answers
F C
How will I ever know?
