by Eric Hutchinson
Tabbed by Patrick Riordan
Okay, so as of posting this tab (10/26/2010) This song has
not been officially recorded, nor has officially been selected for Eric's
next album. It's possible that, even if it is selected, some parts of the
song will be changed. This tab exists purely because I watch way too many
live performances of Eric Hutchinson and freaking love this song.
Basic Chords:
Verse- A B E C#min
Pre-Chorus- F#min G# A B
Chorus- E C#min A E
Bridge- F#min A C# E
Verse 1:
[A]I've got a best friend who I've k[B]nown some time
And after a[E]ll of these years I've got to [C#min]read his mind
And when he l[A]eaves the room I can [B]feel him sigh
As his th[E]oughts they slip out like [C#min]whispers
[A]Who would've know it'd be this [B]hard to wait
For one [E]person to person to [C#min]communicate
And it never f[A]eels dramatic while we [B]complicate
Thank god for o[E]ld friends they always [C#min]forgive us
Pre-Chorus:
I'm lon[F#min]ging for the house remembering all these days
N[G#]ever done enough, everything feels great
If [A]I am not myself, then w[B]ho am I pretending to be
(Chorus)
And I said h[E]ow am I gonna get [C#min]by
Without the h[A]elp of the people I [E]know
For b[E]etter or worse we [C#min]all come together
And they [A]won't let me die a[E]lone
Verse 2:
And I've got a sister who I barely see
Despite the fact the lives right up the block from me
And when we run in to each other on the street
It's like two strangers soul to soul
When I was younger she was younger too
It seems the space is the only thing that really grew
And now we're both grown up and still without a clue
Thank god for family they always forgive us
Pre-Chorus
I'm thinking of the house where we were always raised
And every family tree some history remains
If I am not myself, then who am I pretending to be
(Chorus)
And I said how am I gonna get by
Without the help of the people I know
For better or worse we all come together
And they won't let me die alone
I said they won't let me die alone
Bridge:
[F#min]Maybe I'm [A]not supposed to be [C#]close[E]
[F#min]To all of the [A]people I need the [C#]most need (th[E]e most[B])
Chorus:
And I said
How am I gonna get by
Without the help of the people I know
For better or worse we all come together
And they won't let me die alone
I said now
How am I gonna get by
When I'm afraid of the people I know
For better or worse we all come together
And they won't let me die alone
I said they won't let me die alone
I said they won't let me die alone
I said they won't let me die alone
