This is my first ever chords tab, Lovely song from Paramore's 'Paramore' album, first
performed on BBC Live Lounge on 03/04/13. I'd like to make clear that it's a beginners tab
so it uses simple chords. Shane Khan (YouTube: shanessinging)
Capo is on the 5th fret (same pitch as the original)
[Chords used] C, Am, F, G, Dm
[Verse]
C Am C
There is not a single word in the whole world
Am
That could describe the hurt
F
The dullest knife just sawing back and forth
G
And ripping through the softest skin there ever was
F or Am
How were you to know?
Dm
Well, how were you to know?
[Chorus]
C Am C
And I, I hate to see your heart break
F
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
G
But I've been there before
C Am C
And I, I hate to see your heart break
F
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
G
But I've been there before
[Verse]
C Am
Love happens all the time
C
To people who aren't kind
Am
And heroes who are blind
F
Expecting perfect script in movie scenes
G
Once an awkward silence mystery
F or Am
How were you to know?
Dm
Well, how were you to know-oh-oh?
[Chorus]
C Am C
And I, I hate to see your heart break
F
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
G
But I've been there before
C Am C
And I, I hate to see your heart break
F
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
G
But I've been there before
[Solo] C, Am, C, Am, F, G (improv)
[Bridge]
Am C G
For all the air that's in your lungs
Am C G
For all the joy that is to come
G Am
For all the things that you're alive to feel
F (G)
Just let the pain remind you hearts can heal
(not so sure about this part)
F
Oh, how were you to know? (How were you to know?)
Dm
Oh, how were you to know?
[Chorus]
C Am C
And I, I hate to see your heart break
F
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
G
But I've been there before
C Am C
And I, I hate to see your heart break
F
I hate to see your eyes get darker as they close
G
But I've been there before
