"Try To Remember, Forget" - Say Anything
Today is my birthday, so I figured I'd finally submit some easy acoustic chords for my favorite bday song.
This might not be accurate, but it sounded good to me! Enjoy!!
G Cadd9
It is my birthday, It is a new year.
G Cadd9
I should be happy, that I am still here.
G Cadd
Light up a new joint, Put on an old shirt.
G Cadd9
Try to remember, forget how my brain works.
Em7 D
But I could read a book a night before this year.
Em7 D
And I knew every word, their definition's clear.
Em7 D
But now in stealth I check thesaurus - it's become my guilty mistress.
Cadd9
So I heave my breath at burning wax,
Cadd9
cause I know that spark ain't coming back.
Cadd9 (palm mute)
And I heave my breath at burning wax,
Cadd9 (one open strum)
cause that spark ain't coming back.
G Cadd9
It is my birthday, I've got all my friends here.
G Cadd9
We haven't been talking as of lately, They've all found new bros and babies.
G
I have smoked away my pride,
Cadd9
I have smoked away my pride.
Em7 D
There is nothing but the cinders of it inside.
Em7 D
But I believed in more than nothingness last year,
Em7 D
and under every quiet failure it's still here.
Em7 D
Buried breathing under 18 years of tragedy and fear.
Cadd9
If I could crawl my way out of this grave,
Cadd
just think of all the time I'd save.
Cadd9 (palm mute)
And I heave my breath at burning wax,
Cadd (one final open strum)
because that spark ain't coming back again.
G Cadd9
(Stereo's playing the same old songs, the same old songs, but we still hum along)
[X4]
"What up now, lets go!"
G Cadd9
And in no time we'll be spread across the earth,
G Cadd9
donning business suits to show the faceless master what we're worth.
Em7 D
From our Huggies to Armani and it all seems so rehearsed.
Cadd9
So I heave my breath at burning wax,
Cadd9
cause I know that spark ain't coming back.
Cadd9 (palm mute)
And I heave my breath at burning wax,
Cadd9 (one final open strum)
cause that spark ain't coming back.
G
...It is my birthday.
