Song: Soundcheck
Artist: Catfish and the Bottlemen
Album: The Ride
Here's my take on this for acoustic.
CAPO 2
CHORDS
Am* = 012020
Em* = 010220
Where you see C/G*, play this riff (using the C/G chord as a basis). Each note should match the syllables of
the lyrics (listen to the song and you'll hear the riff). Hit the surrounding strings and palm mute for a
fuller sound. Play around with it and you'll get the idea.

[Verse 1]
C/G*
Maybe I don't act the way I used to
'Cause I don't feel the same about you
Am G C/G*
In fact, that's a lie, I want you
[Interlude]
C/G*
I raced through soundcheck just to meet you
On your fag break and you convinced me
Am G C/G*
To put life aside and want you
[Pre-Chorus]
F
If only for the sake of it I could chill you out
Am
And drive us through the night to your sister's
F
You can fall asleep with my jacket as a cover
Am Am* C G
And wake up just to join me to smoke
[Chorus]
C/G F Em*
I wanted everything at once
C/G F Em* C/G
Until you blew me out my mind
Am G C/G Am G
Now I don't need nothing
[Verse 2]
C/G*
Maybe I don't act the way I used to
Because I don't feel the same that I did
Am G C/G*
In fact that's a lie, it's 'cause I want you
[Pre-Chorus]
F
And if only for the sake of it I could chill you out
Am
And drive us through the night to your sister's
F
You can fall asleep with my jacket as a cover
Am Am* C G
And wake up just to join me to smoke
[Chorus] x2
C/G F Em*
I wanted everything at once
C/G F Em* C/G
Until you blew me out my mind
Am G C/G Am G
Now I don't need nothing
[Bridge] x2
Am G
We'll be talking about your background
F Am
And how it never left you much
G
Because you grew up in a small town
F
You'll appreciate it more
Am G
When you're done figuring your life out
F Am G F
And everything's fine
[Interlude]
C/G*
I raced through soundcheck just to meet you
On your fag break and you convinced me
Am G C/G*
To put life aside and want you
[Chorus] x2
C/G F Em*
I wanted everything at once
C/G F Em* C/G
Until you blew me out my mind
Am G C/G Am G
Now I don't need nothing
