She Says Howie Day
Keep in mind that Howie Day uses a very unique strumming pattern, and you need to
listen the song to get it right. Try doing some hammer ons when switching between
Cadd9 to C Cmaj7, and from Asus2 to Am to Asus4. I think Howie uses them (depending
on which version of "She Says" you are listening to.) For the chorus, the chords
are placed roughly the word that you should be singing when you hit them, but it's
not perfect.
Good Luck!

Verse One:
Sweet is the sight
Of her room
Window open by candlelight
How would you know?
Cold winter on the shore
Chills the dress she wore
It's on the floor
Still it feels so warm...today
Pre-Chorus:(start by still strumming the last C from verse 1)
And that's why I'm w[F]ondering [G]why you h[C]ad to [Am]tell me
[F]What's [G]going [C]on in her [Am]head, what's wr[F]ong,
Come aro[G]und to an[C]other ti[Am]me when you[F] don't ha[G]ve to r[Am]un
Chorus:
And when [F]she says she wants [G]somebody else
I hope you k[C]now that she doesn't me[Am]an you and
When s[F]he breaks down and ma[G]kes a sound
You'll never h[C]ear her the way that [Am]I do
And when s[F]he says she wants [G]someone to love
I hope you k[C]now that she doesn't m[Am]ean you
And when s[F]he breaks down and lets y[G]ou down
I hope you k[C]now she doesn't m[Am]ean you
Outro: (back to verse)
Em F C Em F --> Begin Verse
Verse Two:
Swing into flight
Over hills...
Over her hills, it's twilight
Yeah, I guess that's right now
While were here
Tell me why it's so funny
That you're so funny when you're mad
Always so mad...so mad
*Chorus*
Interlude: (after second chorus)
Yeah and I[Em] don't kno[F]w where
C[G]ome and f[Am]ind me
[Em]I don't k[F]now what
We're [G]coming [Am]to and
[Em]I don't k[F]now what
It me[G]ans to [Am]me and
Y[Em]ou don't k[F]now what
G Am --> --> (strum once each) --> Em F
It means to you
(Howie moans and mumbles a bit after the last line of the interlude, and he continutes
the Em F G Am sequence, but I didn't include that.)
**Then Howie wraps it up with the intro one more time**
