I couldn't figure out how to create a strumming pattern, but where it says to "resume choking pattern", switch
to:
↓ - ↓↑x ↑↓↑
- meaning a pause in the strumming
x meaning choke
[Verse 1]
(start without the choking pattern)
E
Wish I could quit you
D
Got your name across my chest
(start choking pattern)
E
Still sleeping with the window open
D
Why can't I get you out of my head, my head
(pause choking pattern)
E D
You say these things just happen, why must we let them happen?
(resume choking pattern)
E D
I quit my job the other day, even though I'm in need of the money
D
They say I threw my life away, no shit, I threw my life away
(quit choking pattern)
E D
I quit my job the other day, even though I'm in need of the money
D
They say I threw my life away, no shit, I threw my life away
[Bridge]
E D
Away
[Verse 2]
E
Dad tried to tell me that I'm not functional
D
I got a bunch of homies, but not a bunch of homes
D
Said come back home to an empty home
D
I got a different home, my home is...
E
My dad tried to tell me that I'm not functional
E D
I got a bunch of homies, but not a bunch of homes
D
Said come back home to an empty home
D
I gotta different home, my home is fake
[Bridge]
(resume choking pattern)
E D
Ooh, ahh, ooh
E D
Away
(quit choking for a sec right before verse 3)
[Verse 3]
(resume choking pattern)
E
Told a lie and I'm sorry
D
Let me make it up at the football game
D
Pick you up in the morning
D
Let me make it up at the football game
E
Who was I when I was lonely
E
Let me make it up at the football game
D
I told a lie and I'm sorry, ooh
(pause choking pattern)
E
Told a lie and I'm sorry
E
Let me make it up at the football game
(resume choking pattern)
D
Pick you up in the morning
D
Let me make it up at the football game
E
Who was I when I was lonely?
E
Let me make it up at the football game
D
Let's make out at the bleachers
[Outro]
(quit choking pattern)
E
Say it's ok when it's not
E
Say it's ok when it's not
D
Say it's ok when it's not
E
Say it's ok when it's not, not, duh
E
Say it's ok when it's not
D
Say it's ok when it's not, not, duh
D
You're all I got
E
Say it's ok when it's not
Optional
Something I like to do is strum the last E once, then lightly play (while the strings are still ringing):
e|--------4----------|
B|-5/7\5/7-----------|
G|-------------------|
D|-------------------|
A|-------------------|
E|-------------------|
and then sing:
E*
Say it's ok when it's not
| / Slide up
| \ Slide down
| * Strum once
------------
