Standard tuning
Capo on 4th fret
You will only be picking the A, G, and B strings throughout the entire song.
Fingerpicking will make this much easier.
In any case, we will be playing the following:
Cadd9 Dsus2/A Em7 Am E C Em
e|-x-| e|-x-| e|-x-| e|-x-| e|-x-| e|-x-| e|-x-|
B|-3-| B|-3-| B|-3-| B|-1-| B|-0-| B|-1-| B|-0-|
G|-0-| G|-2-| G|-0-| G|-2-| G|-1-| G|-0-| G|-0-|
D|-x-| D|-x-| D|-x-| D|-x-| D|-x-| D|-x-| D|-x-|
A|-3-| A|-0-| A|-2-| A|-0-| A|-2-| A|-3-| A|-2-|
E|-x-| E|-x-| E|-x-| E|-x-| E|-x-| E|-x-| E|-x-|
I tried to keep the chords lined up with the corresponding lyrics - let me know if anything is off!
Intro: Cadd9 Dsus2/A Cadd9 Em7
Cadd9 Dsus2/A
And what do you mean?
Cadd9 Em7
Our hill's not all that steep
Cadd9 Em7
When the gauge reads half a tank
Am E
And yet you run on fumes for a week
Dsus2/A C Em
And you and I, we once looked fine
Dsus2/A Am E
Until you split your lip against the side of my face
Dsus2/A C Am
So why do we bother with all this fighting?
E Dsus2/A
And especially at our age
(You'll have to listen to hear how he transitions from Dsus2/A to Cadd9 here)
Cadd9 Dsus2/A
And you never did
Cadd9 Em7
Write down their names
Cadd9 Em7
So why break bones for them?
Am E
And blackened nights you rage
Dsus2/A C Em
And you and I, we once looked great
Dsus2/A Am E
And you and I, we sounded fine
Dsus2/A C Am
And you had hit notes, but also high carbs
C Dsus2/A
I gave long stares, but I now take shorter steps
Cadd9 Dsus2/A
For after our accident
Cadd9 Em7
we lost our no claims
Cadd9 Em7
And now I hate those pastel shades
Am E
That are just within my vision range
Dsus2/A C Em
And you and I, we once looked fine
Dsus2/A Am E
Until you split your lip against the side of my face
Dsus2/A C Am
So why do we bother with all this fighting?
E
And especially at our age
Outro: Dsus2/A Cadd9(x2) Em7(x2)
Have fun!
