Tears Over Beers by Modern Baseball
Tears Over Beers
Capo: 2nd fret
E Tuning
(You can decide whether to leave the other strings open or mute them. I prefer playing it
open, like 024400 instead of x244xx)
B 024400
C# 046600
E 022400
F#/B 2x4400
Ab/B 4x4400
G/B 3x4400 (supposed to sound kind of diminished-y)
C/B x24400 (this can be optional, it sounds wrong to me but it's the closet thing I
could try)
This can be played in the verses B C# E C/B
[Verse]
B C# E
When I was just a boy, we'll call it 15 or so,
B C# E
I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in my bones
B C# E
That girl who's next to me, she found herself bored to tears
B C# E (N.C.)
G/B (N.C.)
She realized that if she wanted conversation, she's out of luck for three
F#/B
more years
B C# E
When I moved away from home, 100 miles or so,
B C# E
I knew a change had grown inside my awkwardly long limbs and bones
B C# E
That girl who's next to me, she's friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty,
B C# Ab/B G/B
F#/B
But all she has to say is a meat head-themed monologue on why Brad ran away
E F#/B Ab/B F#/B
She said, "All I can hope for is for me to get better,
E F#/B Ab/B F#/B
because all I can take is no more.
E F#/B Ab/B F#/B
I'll win him back again, we'll be lovers, best friends.
E F#/B Ab/B F#/B
He won't need no other woman like he did way back when he was with me.
B C#/B E
He needed more than me
B C#/B E
I'm friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty,
B C#/B E
But he needed more than me."
B C#/B E
When I felt that I should leave, we'll call it midnight or so,
B C#/B E
I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in her bones
B C#/B E
That girl who's next to me, she don't know her worth in this town,
B C#/B
because her face starts to shine when that meat head behind me
E
Is grinning as he's checking her out
E F#/B Ab/B F#/B
I said, "All I can hope for is for you to get better,
E F#/B Ab/B F#/B
Because all I can take is no more.
E F#/B Ab/B F#/B
I'll hide where I can, away from you and your friends,
E F#/B Ab/B F#/B
leaking tears over beers once again."

version 3
The other acoustic was fine but this is the real way that they play it using the same video
In the video he plays it a half step down but the tuning doesn't really matter, there are no open notes
Follow the acoustic videos that they have playing this song for the strum pattern.

It also turns out that this is how the lead singer plays while he is singing. However,
I was having trouble hitting the notes with my voice, so I wrote a tab that made it
easier to find your correct pitches. This tab also sounds more melodic and pleasing
to the ear- especially if you're playing alone.
I have tabbed the intro, and wrote the chords and lyrics for the rest of the song.
I will refer to the chords by their bass note, as the main notes (G#+C#) do not change
for the majority of the song.
C# x466xx
D x566xx
D# x666xx
F x866xx
F# x966xx
F#* 2x66xx -- if you cannot reach this, you can just play x966xx or whatever sounds good
to you.

When I was just a boy, we'll call it 15 or so,
I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in my bones
That girl who's next to me, she found herself bored to tears
She realized that if she wanted conversation, she's out of luck for three more years
When I moved away from home, 100 miles or so,
I knew a change had grown inside my awkwardly long limbs and bones
That girl who's next to me, she's friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty,
But all she has to say is a meat head-themed monologue on why Brad ran away
She said, "All I can hope for is for me to get better,
Because all I can take is no more.
I'll win him back again, we'll be lovers, best friends.
He won't need no other woman like he did way back when he was with me.
He needed more than me
I'm friendly and thoughtful and quite awfully pretty,
But he needed more than me."
When I felt that I should leave, we'll call it midnight or so,
I found myself annoyed by a syndrome of sorts in her bones
That girl who's next to me, she don't know her worth in this town,
Because her face starts to shine when that meat head behind me
Is grinning as he's checking her out
I said, "All I can hope for is for you to get better,
Because all I can take is no more.
I'll hide where I can, away from you and your friends,
Leaking tears over beers once again."
