Key: A major
BPM: 98
Tuning: Drop D/Standard (dependent on whether or your bas or guitar and want to play classic chords
or power chords)
Another barnburner of a tune from the kids over at ATC!
The phrasing is really simple, the chord transitions just happen over and in-between words.
The only part that some beginners might have issues comprehending is the chorus. Just play D for one bar,
A for one bare and then E for two if you get confused by looking at here! Simples!
To play chords with a capo, transpose down 2 semitones and place a capo on second. :)
[Verse 1]
D
It's been a minute
A
Everything's the same but different
F#m
Everyone moved on or stayed too long
E
Doing the same things
D
Can't help but miss it
A
Thought I might come back and visit you
F#m
And I moved on but we've still got
E
A whole lot of history
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Is it too late?
A
I know we went separate ways
F#m
But I just wanted to say
Hey
[Chorus]
D
Yo, I'm back home for the weekend
A E
Called you up but you were sleeping
I wanna do those things we used to do
D
Back when we ran these neighbourhood streets
A E
Wrote our names in the wet cement
We can't go back again
D A
But we can pretend for one more weekend
E
One more weekend
[Verse 2]
D
We said forever
A
Never thought our time together'd ever stop
F#m
But it did and we're not kids anymore
D
I've got our photos in a drawer
A
People don't keep those anymore
F#m E
But I did, can't get rid of who we were before
[Pre-Chorus]
D
Is it too late?
A
I know we went separate ways
F#m
But I just wanted to say
Hey
[Chorus]
D
Yo, I'm back home for the weekend
A E
Called you up but you were sleeping
I wanna do those things we used to do
D
Back when we ran these neighbourhood streets
A E
Wrote our names in the wet cement
We can't go back again
D A
But we can pretend for one more weekend
E
One more weekend
[Bridge]
D A F#m
Monday will wash away the fantasies
A D
We'll have to go back and face reality
A F#m
But we've got forever between now and then
E
We can pretend
[Final Chorus]
(The first two bars don't have chords so feel free to improvise or clap along and smile :)
D
Yo, I'm back home for the weekend
A E
Called you up but you were sleeping
I wanna do those things we used to do
D
Back when we ran these neighbourhood streets
A E
Wrote our names in the wet cement
We can't go back again
D A
But we can pretend for one more weekend
E
One more weekend
D
We can pretend for one more weekend
A
One more weekend
E
One more weekend
One more weekend, yeah
