the first tab had it mostly right
i play the Bb a G, and a little different chorus, you guys decide
also play the verse down around the octaves, and chorus at traditional places
F
Well the songs you sung spiraled
Am
And hung 'round like echoes
G C
Or ripples on a pond
F
So you circled the globe
Am
Spent a year on the road
G C
Without ever going home
F
More than a couple of days,
Am
Then you’d leave right away
G C
Run to a girl you barely know
F
But you like how she sings
Am
And you can’t help but think
G C
That there’s something that she knows and could teach you
G C
While you’re sleeping in that southern state
G C
Where the bars are filled with people you can’t hate
G
But try as you try
C
You still can’t relate to them
G C
And you drink that whiskey down
As they ask you,
D Bb F
“Are you who you say you are?”
D Bb F
Are you who you say that you are?
D Bb C
Are you who you say that you are, you…
C F
Are you who you say that you are?
D Bb F E Bb
Are you who you say you are?
C
The fact that you can’t tell makes us like you even more
F Am G C
F
So now you’re trying again
Am
Or just visiting friends
G C
One had just had his heart broke
F
For the first time in his life
Am
He realized there are times
G C
When you can’t make it alone
F
But now you’re giving advice
Am
As if you had the right
G C
To use a word like “love”
F
It’s a negotiable term
Am
What gets said’s not what’s heard
G C
So it’s different then for everyone
G C
But you're still hanging ‘round that college town
G C
With your…your new life your new lover you’ve found
G C
And you’re keeping her up at night, bringing her down
G C
She’ll watch you drink yourself to death
But won’t ask you,
D Bb F
“is this really what you want?”
D Bb F
Is this really what you want?
D Bb C
Is this really what you is this what...
C F
Is this really what you want?
D Bb F E Bb
Is this really what you want?
C F, Am
Are you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got?
G C F, Am
Are you just sticking with it now because it’s all you’ve got?
G
Yeah that’s it, I think you’re sticking with me now
C
Because I’m all you’ve got
F, Am, G, C
