From the EP February Tape (2007)
D E A is the main chord progression of the song. Believe the pattern is picked by power chords,
but open sounds fine too.
Tuned a quarter step down.
[Intro]
D E A (x2)
[Verse 1]
D E A
Saw you so still, so cold
D E A
You lay outside alone
D E A
Your eyes were still open wide
D E A
You left on that summer night
[Verse 2]
D E A
Your mother was so confused
D E A
Her nose dug up dirt, you're bruised
D E A
She looked up at me, she spoke
D E A
"Why bother? We're all just smoke."
[Chorus 1]
D E
Well I'll tell you why
E F#m
I'll tell you why
F#m D
I'll tell you why
Esus
It could've been you
[Post-Chorus]
D E A (x2)
[Verse 3]
D E A
I drove back along the coast
D E A
With hanging grey trees, so close
D E A
My passenger stayed asleep
D E A
Intoxicated deep
[Verse 4]
D E A
So I went home and stared
D E A
Out the window, I'm not prepared
D E A
If I'm just going to be the rose
D E A
You drop on my final home
[Chorus 2]
D E
It's starting to rain inside
C#m F#m (x4)
Let's stay outside tonight
It's starting to pour
[Outro]
D
Esus E
C#m
F#m
