there’s no i in team
taking back sunday

side – note : the verses are mainly riffs and no chords ,
but these chords sounds nice over the words , and follows
the basic harmonic structure of the vocals , so i thought
i’d put out this easy version for chord strummer people .

intro :
D

verse 1 :
D
well i can’t regret ,
A
can’t you just forget it?
G
i started something i couldn’t finish

and if we go down ,

we go down together

best friends means ,

well best friends means

D A
and i’ve got a twenty – dollar bill
G
that says you’re up late night starting
fist fights versus fences in your backyard
D
wearing your black eye like a badge of honor
A
soaking in sympathy
G
from friends who never loved you

nearly half as much as me

chorus :

Bm
broken down in bars and bathrooms
A
all i did was what i had to
G
don’t believe me when i tell you
G
it’s just what anyone would do
Bm
take the time to talk about it
A
think a lot and live without it
G
don’t believe me when i tell you
G
it’s something unforgivable . . .

verse 2 :
D
well i can’t regret ,
A
can’t you just forget it?
G
i started something i couldn’t finish

if we go down ,

we go down together

best friends means ,

well best friends means

D
you never knew
A
well i never told you . . .
G
everything i know about breaking hearts

i learned from you , it’s true
D A
i’ve never done it with the style and grace you have
G
but i’ve made long term plans

based on these mistakes

chorus :
Bm
broken down in bars and bathrooms
A
all i did was what i had to
G
don’t believe me when i tell you
G
it’s just what anyone would do
Bm
take the time to talk about it
A
think a lot and live without it
G
don’t believe me when i tell you
G
it’s something unforgivable

bridge ( so basically , its way too confusing to write out the chord changes over the words , sorry .
but this is the basic chord structure to the bridge ) :

D , A , G , G

is this what you call tact?

i swear you’re as subtle as a brick in the small of my back

so let’s end this call ,

and end this conversation

there’s nothing worse . . .

( that’s right he said , that’s right he said it )

( have another drink and drive yourself home )

i swear , you have no idea

( i hope there’s ice on all the roads )

the jealousy that became me thinking

( and you can think of me when you forget your seat belt )

( that’s right he said )

( and again when your head goes through the windsheild )

that you always had it way too easy

chorus :
Bm
broken down in bars and bathrooms
A
all i did was what i had to
G
don’t believe me when i tell you
G
it’s just what anyone would do
Bm
take the time to talk about it
A
think a lot and live without it
G
don’t believe me when i tell you
G
it’s something unforgivable

out – chorus ( double your intensity ) :
Bm
best friends means i pulled the trigger
A
best friends means you get what you deserve
G
best friends means i pulled the trigger
G
best friends means you get what you deserve
Bm
best friends means i pulled the trigger
A
best friends means you get what you deserve
G
best friends means i pulled the trigger
G
best friends means you get what you deserve
Bm
best friends means i pulled the trigger
A
best friends means you get what you deserve
G
best friend thinks i pulled the trigger!!!
G
best friend thinks you get what you deserve!!!
