Beginner's guide to Speech Patterns, since I couldn't find the chords anywhere..
The C/B is optional, but it sounds more accurate to use his walk down, while still being fairly easy.
I used this video to put together something I could play myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1dkKAFzDNQ
Watch it to figure out the strumming pattern and taps at the end
Strumming is something like DDxxDDxxDDxxDxDx for the intro, where you mute the strings between chord changes.
I've seen other versions where he puts the capo elsewhere, so you should put it where it suits your voice.
I personally capo 6.
Capo 4
[Intro]
F G Am Am
F G Am G-Am (quick change)
F G Am Am
I'm already picking up your speech patterns
F G C C
And I already wanna go home
F G C C/B Am
I've gotten so used to running away
F G C
That it's hard to imagine sleeping in the same bed
Am
With the same boy everyday
F G Am G-Am
F G Am Am
F G Am Am F
And I spend so much time trying to please everyone I know
G C C
That I let everyone down
F G C Am
These broken promises, and self centered decisions
F G C Am
Lead to problematic, unhealthy communication, lacking relationships
F G Am G-Am
F G Am Am
F G Am Am
But I'm already picking up your speech patterns
F G C C
And I already wanna go home
F G C Am
But if I last until May
F G C
I'm afraid of the ways in which I'll change
Am (F)
and the ways in which I will stay the same
F G Am C
F G Am Am
(Strum each chord only once. He taps his guitar after each note except the final note)
F G C
The hill my building sits on is so slippery
F G
And it's hard to get a grip
C
in this frigid January weather
F G C Am
But if I dig my heels in
F G
I think I'll make it to the top
C
or at least to the middle
F G Am
and for now I think the middle is good enough for me
F G C (let ring)
for now I think the middle is good enough for me
