Keep It Casual
Standard Tuning
Chords Used:
G 320033
Cadd9 032033
Dadd11 200033
G5 355xxx
C5 x355xx
F5 133xxx
For notation's sake, I will refer to "Cadd9" as "C" and "Dadd11" as "D"
Other notes:
The "X" changes meaning for different parts of the song. In the Intro, the "X" is a muted Strum,
while in the Verse, the "X" changes to a sort of slap on the strings with the right hand to
produce a percussive backbeat. Also, in the intro the double "X" on the "+a" can be changed to
the actual chord they precede, but it sounds best if you sort of crescendo into it.

END
i woke up again
sun's shining for once
think i'll think about my life
or maybe i'll just blow it off
it's not like it matters
tomorrow will come soon enough
to knock me right back on my ass
guess i'll have to take another for granted
same damn day for eighteen years
wait i take that back, let's make it nineteen now
just another face for you to forget
but that's the usual
let's keep it casual
the days they are dying
along with my life
tried this shit ten times before
i still can't get it right
i saw you again
you're just as blind as before
won't you take your eyes out of the back of your head
so maybe i can be a little more misleading
same damn day for eighteen years
wait i take that back, let's make it nineteen now
just another face for you to forget
but that's the usual
let's keep it casual
come on, you can't be serious
let's pretend those words never left your lips
a bit more tragic, a little less insincere
you're talking to me, but "i'm a liar" is all i hear
