================================ NOTES: 1. Use barre chords with a ska/reggae rhythm (except for the power chords during the outro). 2. E should be played as a C-shaped barre chord except during the bridge, where it should be played as an open chord. 3. If you want to play this song with all open chords (or on a ukulele or something), try transposing it +3 half steps. 4. These lyrics and chords are only how I interpreted the song, so feel free to experiment/substitute/comment/etc. if you disagree! 5. Enjoy! ================================ INTRO: F#m Bm E A C# F#m Bm E A C# VERSE 1: F#m Bm Wake up in bed screaming so silently E A C# Punch out the walls of insecurity F#m Bm Make up instead and say that I'll be fine E A C# I spread these kinds of rumors all the time F#m Bm My barricade is like a prison fence E A C# The way I'm feeling when I smile: "They really make no sense" F#m Bm Lights in my room just like a starry night E A And that's the way that it goes, C# that's just the way that it goes CHORUS: D A When there's nobody around you, E no one to profound you F#m Just leave me alone, don't leave me by myself D A I see no friends, only strangers C# that don't know my danger [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/b/ballyhoo/295203.html ] VERSE 2: F#m Bm I drink my coffee from a paper cup E A C# It doesn't keep my hands warm enough F#m Bm Making some plans so I have something to break E A C# Looking alive so I have something to fake F#m Bm There's no protection when the demons come E A C# I hear the screaming pound on my eardrums F#m Bm This house is haunted now that nobody knows E A That's just way that it goes C# that's just the way that it goes [CHORUS] SOLO: F#m Bm E A C# F#m Bm E A C# F#m Bm E A C# F#m Bm E A C# BRIDGE: Bm Tell me that this is a dream F#m E Give me the weightlessness I need Bm I'm floating around this room now F#m E Escaping the memory stampede Bm I think I can see my mother F#m E Living without her's made me weak Bm I'm fighting a losing battle F#m E I am a game of hide and seek [CHORUS X 2] OUTRO: F#m Bm E A C# (That's just the way that it goes, oh...)
