Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain
Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain
Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain
Can we skip the charades?
Just speak plain
Note:
Nathan plays the chorus live that way
e|---4-----0--0----| B|---5--3--0--0----| G|---6--4--9--8----| D|---6--5--x--x----| A|---4--5--7--6----| E|-----------------|
and just every second time simply c#m A E B
just playing c#m A E B all the time sounds also right..... so you can decide which way to play it ;)
