Great piano song, these are the chords I use on guitar. Feel free to play around with
the picking for the verse, but the bridge and chorus can just be strummed. Enjoy!
Capo 1 - all chords relative to capo. (Can be played without capo by shifting everything
a half-step, but F needs to be played as a barre rather than open)
Intro:
E E B C#m
E E B C#m
E B C#m
Don't you try to explain all the words that you've made for love
E B C#m
But you can't even pray 'cause the words make you frail and hollow
E B C#m
Don't you cry to yourself just to feel like someone who's hit bottom
E B C#m B
But you can't run away 'cause the hole that remains will follow
A C#m
Don't you care just enough
A C#m
Don't you feel your heart stop
A C#m
But you can't know what you want
A F#m
But what matters now is enough
C#m A
It's a long, a long way down on your own
E B
It's a long, a long way out
C#m A
It's a long, a long way down on your own
E B
It's a long, a long way out
C#m A E B
C#m A E B
(Chords are the same for rest of song)
Don't you sleep in the day just to dream it away for good
But I know you're afraid 'cause the best that you gave was not enough
Don't you care just enough
Don't you feel your heart stop
But you can't know what you want
But what matters now is enough
It's a long, a long way down on your own
It's a long, a long way out
It's a long, a long way down on your own
It's a long, a long way out
- Chris
