Ben Folds Five is a trio formed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States in 1994, who until their breakup in 2000 were a mainstay of Piano rock. Much of their work was influenced by jazz, evident in frequent improv-styled passages through bridge and/or ending.
The members of the band are Ben Folds, the lead singer and pianist, who also wrote most of the songs; Robert Sledge on bass; and Darren Jessee on drums. The group enjoyed the success of the single Brick in 1997
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!
Pretty easy song... listen to it for the timing. I found it easier to use a capo on the first fret, but if you want to try without, transpose everything a half step down.
CAPO ON 1 (chords relative to capo - ie: F#m = Gm) Verse: F#mBEDAC# 2x Chorus: EDF#mE Bridge: DBmC# (and ending - end on F#m)
There was a time when I had nothing to explain Oh, this mess I have made But then things got complicated My innocence has all but faded Oh, this mess that I have made
And I don't believe in god so I can't be saved All alone as I've learned to be In this mess that I have made
All the untested virtue The things I said I'd never do Least of all to you I know he's kind and true I know that he is good to you He'll never care for you more than I do
But I don't believe in love So I can't be changed All alone as I've learned to be In this mess (Bridge) I have made the same mistakes Over and over again
There are some rooms in this house that I don't Open anymore Dusty books and pictures on the floor That she will never see She'll never see that part of me I want to be for her What I could never be for you
But I don't believe in god so I can't be saved All alone as I've learned to be In this mess that I have made
