This song consists of primarily barre chords, but does have some open ones. Watch
the video to see where
the open chords are.
Also I can't tell if he's playing G# or G#m, but I thought G#m sounded better.
B*
This just dawned on me
E* G#*
I haven't spoken to another person in a week
B*
I've been sitting silently
E* G#*
Telling myself I need time to think
E*
I met you at the coffeeshop
B* G#*
We marched on the interstate and blocked the cops
E*
The echoes of the flash grenades
B* G#*
Rang in our ears as we moved along
B*
I called it "positivity,"
E* G#*
And congratulated myself on a job well done
B*
But after a couple of days
E* G#*
The fire that I thought would burn it down was gone
Emaj7
Meet me at the Polish bar
B* G#*
I'll be the one looking at my phone
E*
Shaking like a nervous kid
B* G#*
Absolutely terrified of being alone
B
So where can you go when the troubles inside you
Emaj7
Make your limbs feel like they're covered in lead?
B
How can you solve all the problems around you
Emaj7
When you can't even solve the ones in your head?
B E B
I need you right now
B E B
I need you right now
E** C#m
Before I feel totally dead
E G B
WHOOOOOO OOOOOOO OOOOOH!
E G
WHOOOOOO OOOOOOO -
B*
It came on suddenly
E* G#*
I haven't spoken to another person in a month
B*
Well, small talk, OBVIOUSLY
E* G*
But nothing beyond barely catching up
Emaj7
I have lots of things to say
B G#m
But they're gonna sound dumb dumb dumb
Emaj7
I have lots of things to say
B G#m
But I'm just an idiot
B
So where can you go when the troubles inside you
E
Make your limbs feel like they're covered in lead?
B
How can you solve all the problems around you
E
When you can't even solve the ones in your head?
B E B
I need you right now
B E B
I need you right now
E** C#m
Before I feel totally dead
E G B
WHOOOOOO OOOOOOO OOOOOH!
Aadd9
Shriek into the toxic well
E B**
Where everybody's screaming for themselves
Aadd9 F#
And leaves no space to process feeling lost
Aadd9
These overwhelming distractions
E B** Aadd9
Lead to pow-pow-pa-powerlessness
F#
And I feel too weak to walk it off
[Break]
B** E G#m (x2)
Emaj7
Meet me at the Polish bar
B G#m
I'll be the one looking at my phone
Emaj7
Shaking like a nervous kid
B G#m
Totally terrified of being alone
B
So where can you go when the troubles inside you

Make your limbs feel like they're covered in lead?

I need you right now

I need you right now

Before I feel totally dead

WHOOOOOO OOOOOOO OOOOOH! (x3)

WHOOOOOO O O O O OOH
