Half Life
by Too Much Joy (from the album "...finally")
(transcribed by Jason Finestone [[email protected]])
NOTE: C* is played like [x32033]
D/F# is an open D chord with an F# in the bass
Verse:
G D/F# Em C
There is no space
G D/F# Em C
For what you need to know
G D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C
I'm the forms that I must fill out.
I'm happiest alone
I'm miserable that way
All this stuff just wants to spill out.
Pre-chorus:
C* G (bass: G F# E)
I take pleasure
Em A
in the simple things
C* G (bass: G F# E)
I love my headphones
Em D
and my wedding ring
Chorus: (same rhythm as verse)
G D/F# Em C
Are you talking to me now or reading from a script?
G D/F# Em C
What's that supposed to mean you say you wanna be yourself?
G D/F# Em C
I don't think you really know just who the hell that is.
Em Am
You spend half your life
C (back to verse pattern)
pretending you're like everybody else.
(like everybody else)
Verse 2:
I tell the same joke
many different ways
but you never seem to get it.
You're jerking off
to catalogs
don't you feel a bit pathetic?
[Pre-chorus]
Chorus:
You spend half your life remembering your life when you were young
half your life dreaming how much better life can get
well everytime you make a choice, hey half your life is gone
All you've got's a few good dreams
divided into many small regrets.
(like everybody else)
Solo (over verse)
Verse 3:
I never take any pictures
just try to remember
all I remember is trying.
Here's a story I like
I think it happened to me
I don't even know
if I'm lying
if I'm lying
if I'm lying
Chorus:
Are you talking to me now or reading from a script?
What's that supposed to mean you say you wanna be yourself?
Well I don't think you really know just who the hell that is
No I don't think you have a clue just who the hell that is
So what's your half life?
So what's your half life?
So what's your half-life?
So what's your half life?
You spend half your life
pretending you're like everybody else.
G D/F# Em C
G
