So the other version that is up is super close, but there were a few adjustments I
made when I was playing that seemed to sound better. I have zero clue if this is
right though. It's my first tab so sorry if it looks weird. Also if you have
corrections I'd love to hear them. I adore this song.
Edit: I just went back and changed a few chord changes that weren't right
NO CAPO
Intro: Cadd9 G x2
Cadd9 G
The written word was just enough,
Cadd9 G D
To keep us going when the world would get a little tough.
Cadd9 G
And, I held you up when winter came,
Cadd9 G D
And no one said a thing when everything became so very
Cadd9 G Em D
Complicated complicated complicated they said.
Cadd9 G
The spring held nothing but surprise,
Cadd9 G D
And all that we ignored was opened to our eyes.
Cadd9 G
And I said, then maybe we should settle down,
Cadd9 G D
Find a cottage or a tunnel underground
And we'll be
Cadd9 G Em D
Complicated complicated complicated they said we would be,
Cadd9 G Em D
Complicated complicated complicated they said.
G Cadd9 G D
Ohhhhhhhohhhhhh, I should've known,
Em Cadd9 G D
Ohhhhhhhohhhhhh, we'll have to go,
Em Cadd9
Back to the that we were
G
Before we were us,
D
Before I was me,
Em Cadd9
Before we were, happier than I've ever been,
G D
Than you'll ever see,
Em Cadd9
'Cause that's the way it has to be,
G D
The way it has to be.
Cadd9 G
We felt the summer on our skin,
Cadd9 G D
We curled up in the warmth and let each other in.
Cadd9 G
And I asked, "Have you felt this way before..."
Cadd9 G D
You turned to me said "No I'll be forever yours..."
And we'll be...
Cadd9 G Em D
Complicated complicated complicated they said we would be,
Cadd9 G Em D
Complicated complicated complicated they said.
G Cadd9 G D
Ohhhhhhhohhhhhh, I should've known,
G Cadd9 G D
And I said, Ohhhhhhhohhhhhh, we'll have to go,
Em Cadd9
Back to the that we were
G
Before we were us,
D
Before I was me,
Em Cadd9
Before we were, happier than I've ever been,
G D
Than you'll ever see,
'Cause that's the way it has to...
Em Cadd9
I would push and you would pull away from me my heart would bleed
Em Cadd9
And I'd say things I didn't mean to try and get you back to me.
Em
We've bent the rules, played the games
Cadd9
And never said we felt the same.
Em
We ended things like we began.
Cadd9 D (once)
And feared what we became...
Em Cadd9
So we'll go back, to the that we were,
G
Before we were us,
D
Before I was me,
Em Cadd9
Before we were, happier than I've ever been,
G D
Than you'll ever see,
'Cause that's the way it has to--
Em Cadd9
Back to the way that we were,
G
Before we were us,
D
Before I was me,
Em Cadd9
Before we were happier than I've ever been,
G D
Than you'll ever see,
Em Cadd9 G D
'Cause that's the way it has to be.
Em Cadd9 G
That's the way it has to be.
D(once)
The way it has to be.
