Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Since on my guitar it's difficult to play using Capo 10 (which is what the song uses) I found different chords using Capo 3, which seems to be in a lot of OMAM songs.
Capo 3
[Verse]
GC I am sorry this is always how it goes GC The wind blows loudest when you've got your eyes closed AmEmC But I never changed a single color that I breathe D So you could have tried to take a closer look at me GC I am tired of punching in the wind GC I am tired of letting it all in AmEmC And I should eat you up and spit you right out D I should not care but I don't know how
[Chorus]
EmD So I take off my face GC Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong EmD And I pull out my tongue GC Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong
[Verse 2]
GC I am sorry for the trouble I suppose GC My blood runs red, but my body feels so cold AmEmC I guess I could swim for days in the salty sea D But in the end, the waves will discolor me
[Chorus]
EmD So I take off my face GC Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong EmD And I pull out my tongue GC Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong EmD And I cough up my lungs GC Cause they remind me how it all went wrong EmD But I leave in my heart GC Cause I don't want to stay in the dark
EmD So I take off my face GC Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong EmD And I pull out my tongue GC Cause it reminds me how it all went wrong EmD And I cough up my lungs GC Cause they remind me how it all went wrong EmD But I leave in my heart GC Cause I don't want to stay in the dark
