Chords by Brixton Parker Questions / corrections at [email protected]
This whole song is played ska style (upstrokes on offbeats, muted or no downstrokes) except the bridge, which is strummed normally.
He probably plays with barre chords as that's par the course for this style of music, but to make it simpler I transcribed it for capo 2, which is almost all open chords.
G GCAm A little hope tonight DGCAmD It was small but it was all I needed GCAm A split second when DG We both lost control CAm It wasn’t just me DG It wasn’t just me CAmDG When we stopped in the street and you stopped breathing Am Your head tilted back
D (strummed) Heart attack
D (strummed) HEART ATTACK
(muted strumming)Em You closed your eyes B And opened your mouth CB Nothing came out so I went in EmG (stop muting and crescendo) You closed your eyes and opened your mouth
CDG We both stopped in the middle of the street CDG Id like to think that it wasn’t just me C Your head leaned back DEm Heart attack CDG We both stopped in the middle of the street
(muted strumming)Em You closed your eyes B And opened your mouth CB Nothing came out so I went in EmG (stop muting and crescendo) You closed your eyes and opened your mouth
Em (rhythmic strumming, listen to the song to get the pattern) EmAmDGD Three months of frustration and self mutilation EmAmD All burned away in the middle of the street GDEm (muted strumming) But later that night you brought it all back EmC Why did I do that D (stop muting and crescendo) Why did I do that
CDG Why are you afraid of me CDG Afraid to be alone with me DEm You know I’ll ask and then you’ll crash GDG Now I know why you’re afraid of me
(muted strumming)Em You closed your eyes B And opened your mouth CB Nothing came out so I went in EmG (start chopping it up) You closed your eyes and opened your mouth Em You closed your eyes B And opened your mouth CB Nothing came out so I went in EmG (stop muting and crescendo) You closed your eyes and opened your mouth
