Great piano song, these are the chords I use on guitar. Feel free to play around with
the picking for the verse, but the bridge and chorus can just be strummed. Enjoy!
Capo 1 - all chords relative to capo. (Can be played without capo by shifting everything
a half-step, but F needs to be played as a barre rather than open)
Intro:
[E] [E] [B] [C#m]
[E] [E] [B] [C#m]
Don't you [E]try to explain all the words that you've m[B]ade for [C#m]love
But you [E]can't even pray 'cause the words make you [B]frail and [C#m]hollow
Don't you [E]cry to yourself just to feel like some[B]one who's hit [C#m]bottom
But you [E]can't run away 'cause the hole that rem[B]ains will [C#m]follow[B]
Don't you [A]care just [C#m]enough
Don't you f[A]eel your heart [C#m]stop
But you c[A]an't know what you w[C#m]ant
But what m[A]atters now is e[F#m]nough
It's a l[C#m]ong, a long way do[A]wn on your own
It's a l[E]ong, a long way o[B]ut
It's a l[C#m]ong, a long way d[A]own on your own
It's a l[E]ong, a long way o[B]ut
[C#m] [A] [E] [B]
[C#m] [A] [E] [B]
(Chords are the same for rest of song)
Don't you sleep in the day just to dream it away for good
But I know you're afraid 'cause the best that you gave was not enough
Don't you care just enough
Don't you feel your heart stop
But you can't know what you want
But what matters now is enough
It's a long, a long way down on your own
It's a long, a long way out
It's a long, a long way down on your own
It's a long, a long way out
