My first song chords. Corrections are welcome, but I'm sure I got this about 99%

correct. I know there's no guitar in the first verse, but you gotta have filler if you're singing.

Chords, if you arent sure:

The Worst Part

Key: FMedium

This isn't how they play it because they use power chords and multiple guitars,

but it sounds as much like the song as one would hope from a single guitar

playing mostly chords.

The wForst partAm

Every hFour of every dAmay

Can you hFear themAm

There's no escGape

But the trFuth isAm

There's a lFine that we all crAmoss

I've been crFossed outAm

We all get crGossed out

(rest) Chord means there's a beat before the chord comes in. It's easy to hear in the song.

FAmFAmFAmGG

All the same Fsad livesAm

All the lFove that disappAmears

We are Faching bonesAm

And wasted yGears

We have few rFegrets Am

Save it for Fevery night alAmone

In the sFinking shAmip and haunted hGome

Over this section they just play what sounds like triples of these notes muted, twice through:

Out of the blue, out into the loneliest place

That you'll ever know

I carried the world just as far as I could

But the damage had taken its toll

You Cused to call mFy name

Every hAmour of every dFay

How I lCive to hear that sFound

But every sAmound gets washed awFay

We wash Gaway

We are not Fthat strongAm

We have Falmost disappAmeared

All the lFove we shareAmd

Was destroyed yGears ago

All the days Fand nightsAm

Days of hFaving lots of lAmies

As the clFockwork crAmeeps

On useless lGives

repeat muted part twice

Out of the blue out into the loneliest place

That you'll ever know

I carried the world just as far as I could

But the damage had taken its toll

You Cused to call mFy name

Every hAmour of every dFay

How I lCive to hear that sFound

But every sAmound gets washed awFay

And the yCears have been Funkind

We no lAmonger have contrFol

And we Cused to make a smFile

Pursue the sAmound and lock the dFoor

We are nGo more

There' a bit here on the G and B strings that's played a couple times here before the chords pick up again.

I wrAmote a letter, a lGetter right from the stFart

I mAmarried the madness who lGeft me alone in the dFark

And dAmown her a letter I'll shGiver without you tonFight

I did Ameverything right

I did Geverything, I thought was rFight

I did Ameverything right

I did Geverything, I thought was rFight

I did Ameverything right

I did Geverything, I thought was Fright

You Cused to call my nFame

Every hAmour of every dFay

How I lCive to hear that sFound

But every sAmound gets washed awFay

We wash Caway

Circuits And Wires

Key: GCapo 1Easy

GI am all circuits and wires

CConducting symphonies of Emheat exchange and G energies

GFueled by a nervous system Cthrust through the great unknown

GA timid mess of Emfrightened bones

GI pledge to make no difference

CI aim to take no stand

GThis bitter silence is the Emonly play I have

GIn light of all their laughter,

CI'll take to keeping shy

GA resolution that I've Emfinally had enough

GCan't speak, can't speak, can't speak at Emall

CDon't even think you know the Greason

GI know there's Emsomething wrong within my C faultyG brain

I lack the Cproper be- Ghavior

GMy temper Emaddled tongue can't seem to C force it G out

The Emwords that linger Ginside C me

GCan't speak, can't speak, can't speak at Emall

CDon't even think you know the Greason

GCan't speak, can't speak, can't speak at Emall

CDon't even try to Gunderstand

GI am all motors and gadgets

COrganically designed Gto last a finite Em length of time

GLocked in this rotary motion, Cthe wheel spins round and round

GI comprehend it all but still can't make a Csound

GI know there's Emsomething wrong within my C faultyG brain

I lack the Cproper behavior G

GMy temper Emaddled tongue can't seem to C force it G out

The Emwords that linger Ginside C me

GCan't speak, can't speak, can't speak at Emall

CDon't even think you know the Greason

GCan't speak, can't speak, can't speak at Emall

CDon't even try to Gunderstand

GI am all circuits and wires

CConducting symphonies of Emheat exchange and G energies

GMy temper Emaddled tongue can't seem to C force it G out

This Dlittle heart of mine has drunk its wGheight in blood red wine A D

A little lost,a little Gout of time

But as the Dyears begin to creep,i have to Ghope that i'll be fine A D

F#m

DWhy can't you Afinish what you've Gstarted?

DWhy can't you Atry and underGstand?

It doesn't Dmake a bit of Adifference

If you sGtart what you can't finish

Every Dstory needs an Aending after Gall

DI think I've Aknown you for a Glong time

DSuffice to Asay, it's been Gawhile

You're too Dafraid to face the Aoutcome

Quite Glikely, you're a failure

It's a Dshitty thing to Asay

But hey man,G the clock is ticking

G IA thought of all the Dthings I'd like to Bmsay

G Cramped Aup and couldn't Dwrite a word all Bmday

G I just Awaited for my Dworld to fF#mall Bmapart A

That's why IG'll never finish Aanything Ill Dstart

DAG

DWhat fills the Amagic in the Gmeantime?

DI know its Ahard without Gadvice

You need to Dfind a new Asolution

AdapGtation or retribution

if you Dtruly do Abelieve in something

GSomehow it all works out

G IA thought of all the Dthings I'd like to Bmsay
