That Wasn't Me
Brandi Carlile
I found a couple of new BCB songs on YouTube and decided to tab them. Here's
the first one. Brandi plays it on piano. The sound quality wasn't very good,
so if the song ends up on their upcoming record it'll probably sound a bit
different than the version on YouTube. And the lyrics may be different.
Standard tuning
No capo, though you can play it in G with capo on the 2nd fret.
[Intro]
A E F#m D
[Verse]
A E
Hang on, just hang on for a minute
F#m D
I've got something to say
A E
I'm not asking you to move on or forget it
F#m D
But these are better days
A E
To be wrong all along and admit it
F#m D
It’s not amazing grace
A E C#7
But to be loved like a song you remember
F#m D
Even when you've changed
[Chorus]
E A
Tell me
D A
Did I go on a tangent?
D A
Did I lie through my teeth?
F#m C#m E
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?
D A
Did I bring shame on my family?
F#m E
Did it show when I was weak?
D A
Whatever you see, that wasn't me
E D D A Asus2 A (E)
That wasn't me, that wasn't me
[Verse]
A E
When you're lost you will toss every lucky
F#m D
Coin you'll ever trust
A E
And you’ll hide from your god like he never
F#m D
Turns his back on us
A E
Then you’ll fall all the way to the bottom
F#m D
And land on your own knife
A E C#7
But you'll learn who you are even if it
F#m D
Doesn't take your life
[Chorus]
E A
Tell me
D A
Did I go on a tangent?
D A
Did I lie through my teeth?
F#m C#m E
Did I cause you to stumble on your feet?
D A
Did I bring shame on my family?
F#m E
Did it show when I was weak?
D A
Whatever you see, that wasn't me
E D D A Asus2 A
That wasn't me, that wasn't me
[Verse]
A C#7 F#m D
But I want you to know that you'll never be a-lone
D A
I wanna be-lieve
D A
Do I make myself a blessing
D A
To everyone I meet
F#m C#m
When you fall I will get you
E E7
On your feet
D A
Do I spend time with my family?
F#m E
Did it show when I was weak?
D A
When that's what you see, that will be me
E Bm D
That will be me, that will be me
A
That will be me
