NOTE: These are the actual chords that are played. Saying that, the slightly simpler way to play it (and
probably the way Julia plays it) would be: transpose this tab UP by two semitones, and tune your uke DOWN
two semitones to F Bb D G. Then, it's still in key, and a bit easier to play.
Also, there's a video floating around of Julia playing this live, but her uke isn't in standard tuning. To
play like she does in that video (this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjIKiUSu750), you're going to
want to transpose this tab up by two semitones, but tune your uke down ONE semitone, to Gb B Eb Ab. It's up
to you, any of these ways will sound fine, but the key it's played in on the album is as written.
Have fun!
F Bb F
I looked at my keys
Bb Dm C Bb
Thinkin' that these aren't mine
F Bb F
But it's a just a new set
Bb Dm C Bb
I keep on forgetting that time has gone by
F Bb F
Take your watch from my wrist
Bb Dm
Your ring from my finger
C Bb
Your name from my lips
F Bb F
Take me to the West Coast
Bb Dm C Bb
'Cause I need to know if I still exist
F Bb
I'd like to say that I knew
Dm Bb
But I don't think that's true
Dm C
I was blind for you
Bb Bb
Deaf and dumb and black and blue
F Dm Am Bb
Oooh
F Dm Am Bb
Oooh
F Bb F Bb Dm
I remember New York fondly enough
C Bb
If I refuse
F Bb F
To look at myself
Bb Dm C Bb
Pathetic and comfortable in the abuse
F Bb F
Take the wind from my sails
Bb Dm
The beat from my chest
C Bb
The heart from my songs
F Bb F
Take the life from my eyes
F Dm C Bb
I won't realise that something is wrong
F Bb
I'd like to think that he knew
Dm Bb
But he seemed so confused
Dm C
Maybe out of the blue
Bb Bb
But I did what I had to do
F Dm Am Bb
Oooh
F Dm Am Bb
Oooh
F Bb F
I wake up alone
Bb Dm
I wanna get stoned
C Bb
And stare at a screen
F Bb F
But I crawl out of bed
Bb Dm C Bb
Focus on getting myself clean
F Bb F
Take a comb to my hair
Bb Dm
A moment to stare
C Bb
The mirror so strange
F Bb F
Take a shower at least
Bb Dm
Rinse and repeat
C Bb
Like something will change
F
I am afraid
Bb
But what's new?
Dm Bb
There's a lot to undo
Dm C
But I have nothing to lose
Bb Bb
Somehow I will make it through
F Dm Am Bb
Oooh
F Dm Am Bb
Oooh
