you gotta learn to live with what you are
ben folds
i’m not sure what this song is from , but my friend really likes this song . it’s
all orchestra and everything when he does it , but if you pick the chords for the
first verse , and start strumming at the pre – chorus ( and now that the gig is
up . . . ) , it doesn’t sound all that bad!
my voice is lower then ben folds though , so i did change the key lower . i believe he plays it in e?
of course , you could simplify all the base notes in the song to the root chord or
whatever it’s called , but it sounds nicer if you can hit it all!
verse :
G Bm C
i know that youre in there
G Bm C
i can see you
G Bm C
youre saying youre okay
G Bm C
i dont believe you
C D G G/F# G/B D C
and now that the gig is up , the spell is broken
D G G/F# G/B D C
the fat ladys sung , the president has spoken
D G G/F# G/B D C
these days that you were waiting for will come and go
D
like any day , just another day
chorus :
G D /F# Bm C
theres never gonna be a moment of truth for you
G D /F# Bm C
while the world is watching , ohh ohh
C D G G/F# G/B D C
ohh , all you need is the thing youve forgotten
C D C G D G
and thats to learn to live with what you are .
G Bm C
so freak out if you want to
G Bm C
and ill still be here
G Bm C
dont call me for years , and when you do ,
G Bm C
yeah , ill still be here
C D G G/F# G/B D C
and im not saying that the effort is a waste of time , but i
D G G/F# G/B D C
just want you for the things you couldnt change , but you tried
D G G/F# G/B D C
these hours of confusion they will soon expire like
C D
everything does .
bridge :
C Bm Em
sometimes everything you`ve ever wanted floats above
D
it`s stickin`out its tongue and laughing while
Cm7 Bm Em
everything that anyone could ever need is down below
D
waiting for you to know this
A E/G# C#m D
there`s never gonna be a moment of truth for you
A E C#m D
while the world is watching , ohh , ohh , ohh
D E A A/G# A/F# A
cause all you need is the thing you`ve forgotten
D E D
and that`s to learn to live with what you are
D E D
you`ve got to learn to live with what you are
D ( let ring ) A
you`ve got to live with what you are
