Artist: Our Lady Peace
Song: Innocent
Album: Gravity
Tuning: 1/2 step down
______________________________________________________________________________________
- play the Dsus2 in open position for the last chord
- the Esus2 & Bsus4 are played on the last beat of the bar before going to the next
chord; they are just hit once in transition. If you can't hear them, or don't think
full chord should be played, simply hit the bass note for those chords in transition
- it's not necessary to fret the 'e' string on the B or A chords
- in the last verses/choruses, I didn't mark every transition chord. pick and choose.
- when the distorted guitar comes in (first chorus), it's just playing the open
positions of the chords in an 3-note arpeggio-style (you'll know what I mean if you
listen to the song...)
- when the heavier guitar comes in (second verse), it's simply playing the power
chords for the notes; nothing fancy going on except sliding back and forth (same as
the bass pretty much)
- I have no clue what's going on in the funky interlude with the lead, but it's based
on the same chord progression so yeah...
- if you have any questions/concerns, feel free to email me at the address given above
- if you notice anything that doesn't belong or isn't right, please say so in the
comments below so I can try to fix it, as well as letting others know the correction

Distorted Arpgeggio Riff:
(again, just an outline, it's played differently each chorus, play it your own way,
but note how it always returns to the 3rd fret on B & open on 'e', those notes matter)

CHORDS & LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Dsus2 Esus2 Asus4
Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous
Bsus4 G
Spends his time alone in the basement
B
With Lennon and Cobain and
A Dsus2
A guitar and a stereo
Esus2 Asus4
And while he wishes he could escape this
Bsus4 G
But it all seems so contagious
B
Not to be yourself and faceless
A G
In a song that has no soul
[PreChorus]
A
I remember feeling low, and
G
I remember losing hope, and
B
I remember all the feelings
A
And the day they stopped
[Chorus]
Dsus2 Esus2 Asus4
We are, we are all innocent,
Bsus4 G
We are all innocent
B A
We are, we are...
Dsus2 Asus4
We are, we are all innocent,
G
We are all innocent
B A
We are, we are...
[Verse 2]
Dsus2 Esus2 Asus4
Oh, and Tina's losing faith in what she knows
Bsus4 G
Hates her music, hates all of her clothes
B
Thinks of surgery and a new nose
A Dsus2
Every calorie is a war
Esus2 Asus4
And while she wishes she was a dancer
Bsus4 G
And that she'd never heard of cancer
B
She wishes God would give her some answers
A Dsus2
And make her feel beautiful
[PreChorus]
[Chorus]
[Instrumental Bridge]

One day, you'll have to let it go,

You'll have to let it go,
A
No...
Dsus2 Asus4 G
One day, you'll stand up on your own
B
You'll stand up on your own
A
Yeah...
G A
Remember losing hope,
G
Remember feeling low,
B
Remember all the feelings
A
and the day they stopped
