This is a very rough tab, and it isn't quite the same as the original song (if you watch
the music video you will notice the guitarist appears to be playing a mix of barre
chords and power chords possibly). It sounds good to me. I take no credit for this, I
only put it into a chord sheet. Thanks to "themunkrikt" on Youtube for uploading a video
of his
daughter playing the song!
Alternative between full strumming, and single strums of chords for effect. But most of
all... HAVE FUN!
G D
I can't catch up to you
Am
You've already gone too far
And you don't remember
C D
Who you are or who I am.
G D
I can't catch up with you
Am
You're way up ahead of me
C
And you're getting harder see
D G
Everyday as you run away.
G
You're cutting lines out on a bible
D
Too busy dying to stop and live.
Am
You done gave up on survival
C D
You gave all that you can give.
G
And I sure wish you would come back home
D
Nothing else for you to prove.
Am
I know you try real hard to make your mark
C D
But that world don't love you the way I do.
[CHORUS]
G D
I can't catch up to you
Am
You've already gone too far
And you don't remember
C D
Who you are or who I am.
G D
I can't catch up with you
Am
You're way up ahead of me
C
And you're getting harder see
D G
Everyday as you run away.
G
There just ain't no coming down
D
When there ain't no one around
Am
And your head still makes that sound
C D
And I watch it drive you crazy.
G
Your mama's saying prayers
D
Pleading with the man upstairs
Am
You feel like no one cares
C D
And I watch it drive you crazy.
G D
You run run run run hiding from the sun
Am
And I know you wanna turn around
C D
But there's nothing I can do.
[Chorus]
G D
I can't catch up to you
Am
You've already gone too far
And you don't remember
C D
Who you are or who I am.
G D
I can't catch up with you
Am
You're way up ahead of me
C
And you're getting harder see
D G
Everyday as you run away.
G
These demons behind their faces
D
You know the lies they tell are true
Am
You paint yourself into a corner
C D
And you chose the color blue.
G
And you look for inspiration
D
In the dark where the sickness lives
Am
And you're stumbling over your own two feet
C D
And you're headed for the edge of a cliff.
[Chorus]
G D
I can't catch up to you
Am
You've already gone too far
And you don't remember
C D
Who you are or who I am.
G D
I can't catch up with you
Am
You're way up ahead of me
C
And you're getting harder see
D G
Everyday as you run away.
G
I watch you stumble watch you fall
D
And I just can't seem to help at all.
Am C D
And I feel... I feel like I'm wasting my time with you.
G D
And I know the way you feel been there myself
Am
And I just don't wanna see your plan
C D
And I don't wanna see you go through hell.
G
I know it hurts, I know it stabs
D
And I know it makes you feel real bad.
Am C D
Feel those things that are going on
G
Inside your head and make your eyes
D
Bloody red and I sympathize
Am
Cuz I know the way you are
C D
And I know you won't get far.
G - D - Am - C - D x2
End on G
