Verse
(These chords are implied throughout) although the earlier version of the song he
plays those chords.
[G] [Bm]
e :----------0-----0--------|----------0-----0-----------------------|
B :------3-----3-----3---3--|------3-----3-----3---3-----------------|
G :----4---4-----4-----4----|----4---4-----4-----4-------------------|
D :--5----------------------|--4-------------------------------------|
A :-------------------------|----------------------------------------|
E :-------------------------|----------------------------------------|
Verse 1
Then the rains they [G]came, from thick unbroken [Bm]clouds
And washed out all the [G]names, from tired little [Bm]towns
Yeah summer's gone a[Am]way, to some C[Am/G]alifornia c[Am/F#]oast
Hey [Am/E]I don't mind I [D]never saw around much anyway
But I cannot be s[G]till, it's coursing through my ve[Bm]ins
The songs that never l[G]ive, the songs that stayed the sa[Bm]me
And they turned around the t[Am]ruth, and they knocked you off your [Am/G]feet
Yeah the [Am/F#]world was on your [Am]back and you wouldn't carry that [D]weight
Chorus
Play these notes on the low E & A strings, it's a typical Ian walkup in G.
"[E]cap[F#]tured [G]the[B]ir [A]hearts"
Oh and [G]Caroline you should
Have captured their [A7]hearts while you still could
But you [D]threw it away, did you [D]really think that you'd live for[C]ever?
Caroline
Verse 3
And one by one they [G]fell, barely clinging to their [Bm]names
Technology over[G]flowing, flowing from their [Bm]brains
Till nobody knew the [Am]words, no[Am7/G]body knew to sin[Am7/F#]g
No[Am7/E]body had the [D]time to talk about it anyway
Chorus
Oh and [G]Caroline you should
Have captured their [A7]hearts while you still could
But you [D]threw it away, did you [D]really think that you'd live for[C]ever?
Caro[Em]line
Bridge
Play these bass notes on the low E & A strings to walk into the bridge, similar to the chorus:
Yeah [E]they [F#]all [G]jus[B]t [A]sold
Yeah [E]they [F#]all [G]jus[B]t [Am]sold you [D]down the line[Em]
And you're [Am]looking for for[D]giveness every [Em]time you [D]shut your [Am]eyes
Em (or Am)D Am
Oh but you're faded and old did they never tell you
Instrumental
[G] [C] [G] [C]
Can't remember this off the top of my head, maybe
C C/B Am G D(?)
Oh, oh, oh,oh, yeah
Chorus
Oh and [G]Caroline you should
Have captured their [A7]hearts while you still could
But you [D]threw it away, did you [D]really think that you'd live for[C]ever?
Caro[G]line[C][G][C]
You should just t[D]hrow it away
Do you [C]really think that you'll [D]live forever
Outro just alternates between G & C
