Self Control by The Smith Street Band
Self Control
As for the chords, I think it sounds best using bar chords for Bm, G, A, and just a
regular open D.
Edit: Wow never noticed how difficult they make it to format these, the chords are in
the right order, just play along with the song.
First Verse
D Bm
The night we said that we had won at life,
G A
We were high as fucking kites, above the city,
D
No ones ever looked as pretty as when you turned to walk away
Bm
Had to silence my addiction, my inherent invincibility
G
But we all learn from and yearn for what we had,
A
In the guts of the glory days,
D Bm
Look back and be nostalgic, to blanket our current fears,
G A
I look death in the eye once a week, For a couple of years
Chorus
G D
Come on teach me self control, Come on tell we what to say x2
Bm A G
And I dont think that I could make anyone feel like this
D Bm
Dont think I could make anyone feel like this
A D
Dont think I could make anyone feel this shit
Verse Two
D Bm
My formative years I got as drunk as anyone
G
And I wonder how that will affect me,
A
Now that those years have been and gone,
D Bm
My stagnant half form, my mind malnourished and my bones near breaking,
G
Why does everyone come up like this
A
Never giving, always taking
D Bm
The issues that we let cloud our heads to distract ourselves from how fucked we truly are
G
Passion can be pointless if it™s all for passion sake
A
Thank everything I found else my life, woulda been a complete waste
Chorus
G D
Come on teach me self control, Come on tell we what to say x2
Bm A G
And I dont think that I could make anyone feel like this
D Bm
Dont think that I could make anyone feel like this
A G
Dont think that I could make anyone feel this shit
Bridge
G D G
These dreams unfamiliar but sincere,
D G
Let myself disappear in the warmth of the back seat
D G
Press my knees into the fake sheepskin
D
Trying to pick who next to run away with
Bm
Cause Im killing my relationships
G
But trying to keep a lid on it
A
I wont survive in happiness
I want to be in love again
Chorus
G D A G A D
Come on teach me self control, Come on tell we what to say x2
Bm A G
And I dont think that I could make anyone feel like this
D Bm
Dont think I could make anyone feel like this
A D
Dont think I could make anyone feel this shit
