First Aid Kit - In the Hearts of Men (2012) Transcribed 18/1-2012 by Jon Malmin ([email protected]) Tuning: Standard E (Capo 1st fret!) This song is quite easy, use these chords and listen to the song and you'll learn it in no time... Intro: C Fmaj7 Am G C Fmaj7 In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers Am G In the parts we play to convince others C Fmaj7 We know what we're doing, we're doing it right Am G May have written books on the subject, but then you may still be surprised C Fmaj7 By your tone over the phone, to your sister while waiting in line Am G At the shopping mall just outside of town C Oh-hoo, Fmaj7 oh-hoo, Am oh-hoo... G Oooh [Same chords as the last verse] In the hands of teachers, in the books you read The things we say when we've lost the lead I still try to speak up, when my voice won't make a sound And I thought it all over too many times When there is no use, and the lights are all out I just give it up, and I walk home Past the shopping mall that's just closing... Down [Play this part 2x] C Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da Fmaj7 Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da Am Oh-hoo... G Oooh Am G We tell yourself you are must be what you be Am G Who's to say who is who and what is what if you simply don't agree, now Am G Time will come to claim you, and it will have its way Am G Am G Don't make no mistakes and don't regret Am G Am G Don't waste the time that is left Am G C And then do it all... With a goddamn smile [Play this part 2x] C Laa-la-la, laa-la-la Fmaj7 Laa-la-la, laa-la-la Am Laa-la-la... G Laa-ah-aah... C Fmaj7 In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers Am G In the parts we play to convince others [End the song with a C]
