Verses
The names of these bar chords (without a capo) are written with the lyrics. Z plays them
bar chords off the E string, besides the B's. C#'s and F's next to which I wrote
With the capo, you'll finger them as G's, A's, and D's. The next verse is played the
way.
[C#]We were up all n[C]ight
Talking [b]trash and wasting [A#]time
When he [b]says you're beauti[A#]ful
b(open) F(open)
It's not a line
But in the [C#]morning you might [C]find
That he m[b]ight have changed his [A#]mind
He got [D#m]lonely for a [A#]love
b(open) F(open) C#(open)
For just one night
Bridge
These chords are written in the same way. Each is strummed 8 times (besides the last).
[C#]You may say
Why [C]don't you realise
[C#]I could give you [A#]everything
[C#]But you see
He [C]can't be tied, cont[C#]ained
or satis[A#]fied by all
C# (open)
you could bring
You can probably take it from there. If you don't think I got all of the chords right,
can watch a great video of The Like performing an acoustic version of this song on the
Stone's youtube channel, which is where I got them from. I'm not positive I got them
though, so you may have to play around with them.
