Intro: F#m Dsus2 Esus4 - E- Esus4 - E (listen for the strumming pattern)
Verse 1:
F#m Dsus2 Esus4
i was only looking for a shortcut home
E
but it's complicated
Esus4 E
so complicated
F#m Dsus2 Esus4
somewhere in this city is a road i know
E
where we could make it
Esus4 E Dsus2
but maybe there's no making it now
Chorus:
A
too long we've been denying
E
now we're both tired of trying
F#m Dsus2
we hit a wall and we can't get over it
A
nothing to relive
E
it's water under the bridge
F#m
you said it, i get it
Dsus2
i guess it is what it is
Verse 2: same as verse 1
i was only trying to bury the pain
but i made you cry and i can't stop the crying
was only trying to save me
but i lost you again
now there's only lying
wish i could say it's only me
Chorus 2: same as previous chorus
A
too long we've been denying
E
now we're both tired of trying
F#m Dsus2
we hit a wall and we can't get over it
A
nothing to relive
E
it's water under the bridge
F#m
you said it, i get it
Dsus2
i guess it is what it is
Bridge:
Dsus2
here it comes ready or not
E
we both found out it's not how we thought
F#m Bm C#5(just 1 strum)
that it would be, how it would be
Dsus2
if the time could turn us around
E
what once was lost may be found
F#m Bm C#5(just 1 strum)
for you and me, for you and me
Solo: Same as intro
Last Chorus: same as before
A
too long we've been denying
E
now we're both tired of trying
F#m Dsus2
we hit a wall and we can't get over it
A
nothing left to relive
E
it's water under the bridge
F#m
you said it, i get it
Dsus2 (keep for 2 bars)
i guess it is what it is
F#m Dsus2 Esus4
i was only looking for a shortcut home
E
but it's complicated
Esus4 E
so complicated
Hope it's right! Enjoy!
