From Trying Never to Catch Up
Transcribed by Reuben Gann ([email protected])
Great song by a relatively unknown band. Buy their record!
(Verse)
[E]If you're ever anywhere '[G#m]round here
just come [A]back I'll give you everything you [Am]need this time
I prom[E]ise
not so much the way you [G#m]hurt me
it's more li[A]ke the way you make me want to hurt m[Am/B]yself
When you show up it's like a landmine
close enough to leave indelible scars
adhered to one
such impressionable person
don't say names
protect the innocent
he sure needs a break
[E]what [D]if [A]everyone's [C]gotta get [E]back
just in [D]time, [A]smoke that l[C]ast cigarette[E]
[D]you're still [A]lingering [C]round the s[E]et
try[D]in to [A]set me of[C]f
(verse chords)
Maybe we can take some time and work this out
I really think the duties here are the same
make it bearable, to be careful
with eachother's emotions
[C#m]the only way to find [A]out what you're doing[C#m]
is for you to [A]envy me[C#m]
then we can [A]both stay int'rested
(chorus)
[E]oh Char[E/B]lena
[D]maybe you should [A]write this [E]down
so [E/B]we can get it [D]right next [A]time around
[E]No, Char[E/B]lena
It's [D]not as simple [A]as it sou[E]nds
to [E/B]keep your feet [D]planted on c[A]ommon ground
(verse chords)
If anyone knows you I do
and if anyone can forgive you well I'd try to
but you keep on doing that thing to me
it's like you're dragging me down into your disease
and can't you see that it's bringing me to my knees
[E]what [D]if [A]we could [C]get it all [E]back
the same [D]way it [A]was bef[C]ore you [C#m]attacked
all evidence of [A]decency in me[C#m]
and left me in [A]the debris
(chorus chords)
So, Charlena
maybe you could sort this out
and tell me how you feel about it now
oh Charlena
maybe you should just sit down
I'm not sure that it's worth this anyhow.
