This song is so easy I’m not even going to put the chords in chart form.
If you think you’re ready to play this song, then you really should know these
chords already:
Chords: F Am G C D D(sus)
In the first verse, when moving from F to Am, try hammering onto the Am quickly
then moving immediately to the G chord.
For all following verses, try to use a more basic strumming pattern.
The only tricky part is knowing when to and when not to sing.
F Am G F
Past the road to your house
Am G F
That you never called home
Am G F
Where they turned out the lights
Am G F
Though they say you’ll never know
Am G
F Am G
I remember running through the wet grass
G C
Falling a step behind
F Am
Both of us never tiring
G C
Desperately wanting
F Am G
F Am G F
When they pumped out your guts
Am G F
And filled you full of those pills
Am G F
You were never quite right
Am G F
Deserving all the chills
Am G F
They say the worst is over
Am G F
Kicked it over and ran
Am G F
Then they ask what went wrong
Am G F
When they turn you on again
Am G F
They turn you on again.

I remember running through the wet grass

Kick them right in the face

Make them wish they weren’t born
Am G F
And if they bring up your name
Am G F
Well they’ll say you won the war.
Am G F
Baby burst in the world
Am G F
Never given a chance
Am G F
Then they ask what went wrong
Am G F
When you never had it right
Am G F
No you never had it right…
