Born Tired by JHene Aiko
Born Tired
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:C
Capo:no capo
Note for sections denoted with an asterisk (*):
As the chords alternate between C and Am, shift your index finger up to the 1st
string to get
the same note pattern from the riff. I found this was really helpful when
strumming so that you don't
have to fingerpick the entire song but still hold the integrity of the original.
The given strumming pattern demonstrates the riff integrated into strumming. The
accents mimic the given
riff below. For the third and fourth accents, the index finger moves up a fret.

Three deep breaths
Ten steps backwards
Going backwards

On my heart
It don't beat the same, no
Rest your weary heart
Dry your teary eyes

And torn apart inside
Darlin', so am I (Okay)

Getting more tired

I'ma need more fire
Way, way more fire
So pass that thing my way

It's been a long night
Long life, long time fighting
Let out a long sigh
Alright, why am I trying?
'Cause look at how far you have come
And look at all that you have going
Look at who have become
Baby, you gotta keep going
Ooh-oh, rest your weary heart
Dry your teary eyes
I know you are scarred
And torn apart inside
Inside, inside, inside

Baby, I was born tired
Getting more tired
As time passes me by
I'ma need more fire
Way, way more fire
So pass that thing my way
