Text size:
This song starts off with an electric guitar playing power chords - the guitars has
distortion, and also has the "delay" effect (which you can use if you have a sound board or
guitar effects pedal).
*Note: If you have the "delay" effect, then just play each power chord below once. If
don't, then play the chords as listed below, & with those rhythms. (Or you could just
out the rhythm by listening to the song yourself!)
After the electric has played that riff once, the acoustic comes in, while the electric
to play the same riff... (You can listen to the song to figure out the rhythm youself -
too intricate to transcribe into a guitar tab!) Anywho... The chords are:
AmCBmD
The acoustic guitar plays that riff once, and then this is where Nick starts singing!
Am I wroteC this lyric for yoBmu, all Dby myself Am
What makesC you think I need Bmyou, or anyboDdy else?Am
But when Cyou see me walkinBmg, just stariDng at my feet,Am
Cause I'm nCot all about Bmyou, I'm alreaDdy complete. Am
Things get heavier at this part - the acoustic gets softer in volume, as the electric
drums) get louder:
I hope Amthis doesn't make you cry,
But I donC't wanna make you mine,
I told Bmyou for the millionth time,
That I donD't need you in my life.
Here, the electric stops playing that first riff (the first one that I explained) &
to playing the "bar" chord version of the next chords (the "open" version of the chords are
stronger in the Chorus):
D But you can see through mCe (yeah)
D And how you get to me,C
You know GI'm just a fraudD,
I'm just afraidAm I feel the same,C
But don't tell anyonAme
Don't tell anyonBme
The electric guitar goes back to this riff after the first Chorus comes to an end
with added distortion, and the "delay" effect):
This time the verse comes, it's a little different, because once the acoustic starts
(after the electric has played that riff through once) Nick comes right in & starts
Basically, the acoustic doesn't play its riff through once, unlike when it did just
the first verse.
Am I wake Cup thinking of youBm, and Dthat weirds me out. Am
I try hCard not to call Bmyou, but I canD't do without. Am
HeariCng your voice tell Bmme, that I am Don your mind,Am
It wouldCn't work to rush Bmthis, I'll come Daround in time.Am
Once again, things get heavier at this part - the acoustic gets softer, as the electric
drums) get louder:
I hope Amthat you can understand,
But now IC don't know where I stand,
I'd ratheBmr hide behind these walls,
PretendiDng I don't care at all
And again, the electric stops playing the first riff & switches to playing the "bar"
version of the next chords (the "open" version of the chords are also a little stronger here):
D But you can see through mCe (yeah)
D And how you get to me,C
You know GI'm just a fraudD,
I'm just afraidAm I feel the same,C
But don't tell anyonAme
Don't tell anyonBme
Now, this is where it gets to be quite difficult (well, for the guitar soloist, anyway).
wasn't sure if I should put the solo in at first, but I changed my mind, since I really
to know how it went myself! (This took me a long time to figure out so you should be
thankful for it!)
Here are the chords that the rhythm guitar(s) continue to play, throughout the solo:
C Life keeps going on, D
The world keeps spinning 'roundEm
Can't we stop goingD in circles?
C Am I afraid of what they'll say? D
What you confuse to see -Bm you and me Bm
After a short pause, the electric guitar plays this riff with distortion and the "delay"
one last time:
And instead of the acoustic playing the riff through like usual, it doesn't play at all,
the song goes straight to the Chorus right away.
D But you can see through mCe (yeah)
D And how you get to me,C
You know GI'm just a fraudD,
I'm just afraidAm I feel the same,C
But don't tell anyonAme
Don't tell anyonBme
The Chorus repeats once more, and the lead guitar does another (small) solo.
D But you can see through mCe (yeah)
D And how you get to me,C
You know GI'm just a fraudD,
I'm just afraidAm I feel the same,C
But don't tell anyonAme
Don't tell anyonAme
