Artist: Good Old War Song: Weak Man Album: Only Way To Be Alone Email: [email protected] Tuning: Standard (EADGBe) Note: I got the chord structure from the Circa Survive Board here (http://circaboard.com/lofiversion/index.php?t5557.html). It was posted by someone with the screen name Katie, so huge thanks to her because I was having trouble figuring it out. There are other GOW songs posted there that are at least partially complete. I worked out the intro and fill myself.

Before Bridge: D7 (instead of C, B7) Bridge: G, Em, C, D, D7 Solo: Play intro riff under solo (I think it's 12 times) and end on Am. I have not worked out the solo. I don't know if I will bother. Lyrics: I put the number of beats because the chord structure has an odd feel to it, in my opinion. If that is confusing just ignore it and feel it out. [Verse 1] Am (16 beats) Let the music breathe upon my face G (4 beats) Am (8 beats) Every step of the way G (two beats) [Fill 1] Through the anguish I make Am (8 beats) Back the rest I made G (4 beats) Am (12 beats) I'm seeing you less clear and blue Like lovers do D7 (8 beats) You should too [Chorus] I am not playing a game with you To show that I can get ahead Just like any weak man would do When he's losing [Verse 2] When life's confusing way to bring you down Has you got you pissing yourself While you're thinking out loud Try and figure out the best approach to being true Like lovers do, you should, you should too [Chorus] I am not playing a game with you To show that I can get ahead Just like any weak man would do When he's losing [Bridge] (Anthony Green) You can't just give it all away This is all we have saved There is nothing here between us This is not what we had planned There's so much more Got nothing without each other We've got nothing [Chorus] I am not playing a game with you To show that I can get ahead Just like any weak man would do When he's losing [Solo] I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I do. ~ Michael
