Capo 2
Obs. dette ble gjort i en fei.
A og G er en simpel slide med E-akkorden, slik:
G 055400
A 077600
Intro:
chords: A A Bm Bm repeat x2
e----------strum--strum---5---3---2----0--2--3------
B---------------------------------------------------
G---------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------7-7-5-5-4-4-2--4--5-------
A---------------------------------------------------
E---------------------------------------------------
[D]I'll bur[G]y my downcast hours in transparent ink,
[D]tie myself to the [G]mast and wait here for the ship to sink
[Em]though I know I've[G] set sail [A]on a wis[G]hing well
[D]the daylight [G]is dimming out slowly with every breath I take
gasps of air become roaring rivers keeping me awake
[Em]it gives me no [Bm]time to [A]think things [G]through
[Em]I know words al[Bm]ways com[A]e before you [G]do
Chorus (essentially same as intro)
A Bm (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
but I can't find no poetry left in these lines
A Bm (5-3-2-0-2-3..)
I've been trying too hard, too long, too many times
Bridge:
[D] [A] [G]
[D] [A] [G]
is this what a biochemist would call happiness?
is it part of some unmade promise I thought I could forget?
[Em]is it time that I [Bm]let some [A]air come [Em]through?
[Em]for now strangelin[Bm]g love is[A] all I can[Em] do
Chorus:
yeah, I know you have mountains of poems in mind
all explaining how all wounds will heal given time
[Bm]but these days are no longer my time to [E]spill
G A E
and I know that by waiting, I'll make them stand still
Bridge: (listen to song)
[A] [F]
[A]A [F]F [C]Bbm F C A...
I kept it as close as I could through those winter nights
but the ropes only tighten round me as I try to fight
[Em]there's no worth thro[Bm]wing stone [A]in a wis[Em]hing well
now I'm out of black ink and true tales to tell
Chorus:
and I know it's all poetry, know they're just lies
but I'll still scavenge on what I find inbetween those lines
[Bm]I'll pretend there was happiness, f[E]ake to have felt pain
G A E
just to feel there's a reason to read it again
Takk førr mæ!
