Highlighted Show chord diagrams
Intro: D A Em G x2 D A This is a song with the same four chords Em G I use most of the time when I've got something on my mind D A And I don't want to squander the moment Em G Trying to come up with a more complicated way to say what I want to say D A People were mean to you Em G but I always thought you were cool D A clicking down the concrete hallway Em with your spiked heels G back in high school. D A Em G x2 D A It's good to be young but let's not kid ourselves Em G It's better to pass on through those years and come out the other side D A With our hearts still beating Em G Having stared down demons; come back breathing [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/mountain-goats/254478.html ] D A People were mean to you Em G but I always thought you were cool D A clicking down the concrete hallway Em with your spiked heels G back in high school. G A You deserved better than you got D G Someone's got to say it sometime because it's true. Em A People should have told you you were awesome, D G *** Instead of taking advantage of you. D Em A (half beat only for both Em and A) I hope you love your life Em G Like I love mine. D A Em I hope the painful memories only flex their power over you G A little of the time. D A We held onto the hope of better days coming Em G And when we did we were right. D A I hope the people who did you wrong Em G Have trouble sleeping every night. D A People were mean to you Em G but I always thought you were cool D A clicking down the concrete hallway Em with your spiked heels G back in high school. Outro: D A Em G x2 *** In the video I transcribed this from, he seems to plays A here. However he sings to a G chord and I think it sounds better.  |
