Frank Turner - The Way I Tend To Be

capo 4

for the rythm and hammer ons listen to the song . the chords in the chorus aren’t
the same frank turner uses , but they sound very similar to them . the bridge was
hard for me , so feel free to correct it : – ) sorry that i don’t know the chords names . . .

verse :
C G
some mornings i pray for evening ,
D C
for the day to be done .

some summer days i hide away
D C
and pray for rain to come .
C G
it turns out hell will not be found

you could save me from the way i tend to be .

intro 2

xverse ( same as verse 1 )

some days i wake up dazed my dear ,
and i don’t know where i Am .
i’ve been running now so long i’m scared
i’ve forgotten how to stand .
i stand alone in airport bars
and gather thoughts to think :
that if all i had was one long road
it could drive a man to drink .

chorus

but then i remember you ,
and the way you shine like truth in all you do .
and if you remembered me ,
you could save me from the way i tend to be .

bridge ( play muted and fast )
Em7 D/F# G C D Em7 D/F#
because i’ve said i love you so many times that the words kinda die in my
G
mouth .
Em7 D/F# G C D Em7 D/F#
and i meant it each time with each beautiful woman but somehow it never
G
works out .
Em7 D/F# G C D Em7 D/F#
you stood apart in my calloused heart , and you taught me and here’s what i
G
learned :
Em7 G C D Em7 D/F#
that love is about the all the changes you make and not just three small
G
words .

chorus
and then i catch myself
catching your scent on someone else
in a crowded space
and it takes me somewhere i cannot quite place .

but then i remember you ,
and the way you shine like truth in all you do .
and if you remembered me ,
you could save me from the way i tend to be .
