Backbone by There For Tomorrow
Backbone
Tuning: Standard
Intro: Variations of G#m (continued into verse if desired)
G#m B
Your game, your lovely game
F#
Is like pain and suffering
G#m B
Your fame, your newly found fame
F#
Is like repeating history
Prechorus:
G#m B
You know that keeping me around
F#
Makes me just quiver at the sound
G#m B
Wish I could feed their open mouths
E F#
With something worth it
Chorus:
G#m
Where is your backbone?
G#m B
Cause you’re looking very flimsy
F#
I'm breaking down your paper wall
G#m
Where is your backbone?
G#m B
If you hear it sing it with me
F#
Everybody take the fall
G#m
You look so sound asleep
B
I can't believe
F#
That your backbone's missing
G#m (intro)
And you never had a clue at all
G#m B
Believe, no I can't believe
F#
How little all this means to me
G#m B
You'll see, you'll just have to see
E F#
For yourself, the playback is deafening
Prechorus, Chorus
Inst: G#m, F#, E, F# 2x
G#m
You could've been something
F#
You could've been something memorable
E
I should've said something
F#
I should've said...
Inst: G#m, F#, B, E, F#
G#m
Where is your backbone?
G#m B
Cause you’re looking very flimsy
F#
I'm breaking down your paper wall
G#m
Where is your backbone?
G#m B
If you hear it sing it with me
F#
Everybody take the fall
G#m
You look so sound asleep
B
I can't believe
E
That your backbone's missing
F# G#m, F#, E, F#
And you never had a clue at all
G#m
You look so sound asleep
B
I can't believe
F#
That your backbone's missing
G#m7 (464444)
And you never had a clue at all
