Gonna Get Over You - Sara Bareilles (from Kaleidoscope Heart)
*there is a walking bass line, but these are the underlying chords
No capo
[Intro]
C
Goodbye, Should be sayin' that to you by now, shouldn't I?
C C/B Am
Layin' down the law that I live by,
C
Though maybe next time
[Verse 1]
C
I've got a thick tongue,
Brimming with the words that go unsung
C C/B Am
Simmer then the burn for a someone,
Bb
A wrong one
F G
And I tell myself to let the story end,
Em Am
My heart will rest in someone else's hand
F G
My 'why not me?' philosophy began,
And I say
[Chorus]
C Am
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
F G
I'll be alright, just not tonight
C Am
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
F G
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
C
Someday
[Verse 2]
C
Maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
C C/B Am
Keep me when I'm hurting and make me,
C
Hang from your hands
C
Well, no more, I won't beg to buy a shot at your back door
C C/B Am
If I make it at the thought of you, what for?
Bb
It's not me anymore
F G
And I'm not the girl that I intend to be,
Em Am
I dare you darling, just you wait and see
F G
But this time not for you but just for me,
And I say
[Chorus]
C Am
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
F G
I'll be alright, just not tonight
C Am
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
F G
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Fm
Someday
[Verse 3]
C
say it's coming soon,
Am
Someday without you,
F G
All I can do is get me past the ghost of you,
Fm C
Wave goodbye to me,
Am
won't say I'm sorry,
I'll be alright
F G
once I find the other side of
C
someday
C Am F G C Am F G etc
oohoohooohoohooh. . .
[Chorus]
C Am
Ooh, how'm I gonna get over you?
F G
I'll be alright, just not tonight
C Am
Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay
F G
I'll be alright, just not tonight,
Fm
Someday
end on C
