capo 4, I think. I often play it in Em (Em / C / D / B7 /) but that's
preference. also my guitar hasn't seen a tuner in years and it's probably
more than a full step out by now from bad ear tuning.
don't forget the eye make-up. and teen angst etc.
INTRO
Am / F / G /E7 /
(I find screaming, 'FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME' won't win you many friends, so
we can miss that bit out if you wan't)
Am
Do you remember back there
F
When we met?
G E7
You told me this gets harder
Am
Well it did
F
Been holding on forever
G
Promise me that when I'm gone
E7 F
You'll kill my enemies
G
The damage you've inflicted
E7 /
Temporary wounds
F G
I'm coming back from the dead
E7
And I'll take you home with me
(mute and strum :)
E7 F E7 x x x x x F
I'm taking back the life you stole
G
We never got that far
C
This helps me to think
G Am F
All through the night
G C
Bright lights that won't kill me now
G Am
Or tell me how
F
Just you and I
G Am
Your starless eyes remain
Am
Hip hip hooray for me
F
You talk to me
G E7
But would you kill me in my sleep?
Am
Lay still like the dead
F
From the razor to the rosary
G
We could lose ourselves
E7
And paint these walls in pitchfork red
F G
I will avenge my ghost
E7 F
With every breath i take
F G
I'm coming back from the dead
E7
And I'll take you home with me
E7 F E7 x x x x x F
I'm taking back the life you stole
C F
This hole you put me in
(-2-0-4-2-1-0-?) You'll need to use your thumb for this
one, and I know i've written F#m but
it sounds really shit if you do. find
E7 works okay instead, but it's not
F#m the same)
Wasn't deep enough
G Am
And I'm climbing out right now
E7 F
You're running out of places
G C
To hide from me
F
When you go
F#m G Am
Just know that I will remember you
E7
If living was the hardest part
F
We'll then one day
G C
Be together
F
And in the end we'll fall apart
F#m
Just like the leaves
G F Am
Change in colours
E7
And then I will be with you
F G C
I will be there one last time now
F
When you go
F#m G Am
Just know that I will remember you
(It goes on in a similar vein...)
I've lost my fear of falling
I will be with you
I will be with you
Maybe not their seminal work but a lovely piece of pop-punk-emo melodrama.
