Battle Colbie Caillat
It's mostly picking notes out of those chords throughout the song
CAPO 4th fret... all chord names referred to are going to be just positions relative to the capo
Em (0,2,2,0,0,0)
F#/D(2,0,0,2,3,2)
Cadd9 (x,3,2,0,3,0)
G (3,2,0,0,3,3)
F#/Dsus4 ( 2,0,0,2,3,3)
Cadd9* (x,3,2,0,3,3)
Am (x,0,2,2,1,0)
Bm (x,2,4,4,3,2)
the F#/D(2,0,0,2,3,2) can be substituted with an F#/Dadd9 (2,0,0,2,3,0)
Here's a picking pattern I play for the verse
[Em] [F#/D] [Cadd9] [Cadd9]
|-----------------------------0-----------0-----| |------0-----------3------------3----------3----| |---0---0-------2---2------0------0----0----0---| |--2-2---2-----0-0---0----2-2---------2-2-------| |---------2-----------0--3----------3-----------| |0------------2---------------------------------|
Verse:
[Em]You thought w[F#/D]e'd be f[Cadd9]ine
[Em]All these [F#/D]years gone [Cadd9]by
[Em]Now you're asking me to[F#/D] listen well then tell me bout [Cadd9]everything
[Em]No lies, We're[F#/D] losing[Cadd9] time
Chorus:
cause this is a [G]battle
F#/Dsus4 Cadd9*
and its your final last call
it was a t[G]rial
F#/Dsus4 Cadd9*
you made a mistake we know
why aren't you [Am]sorry
Bm Cadd9*
why aren't you sorry why
this could get [G]better
we can be [F#/D]happy
Cadd9*
try
Verse:
Em F#/D Cadd9 (play this for the rest of the verse)
you've got them on your side
and they wont change their minds
now its over and I'm feeling like I missed out on everything
I just hope It's worth the fight
