im pretty sure this is 100% correct for the purpose of just singing along . the
original doesnt have much guitar . the “fx8” in the chorus sounds good if you play
it right . it sounds like the “hey hey hey hey hey hey hey” you hear in the
original song . rate please : )
capo : 2 ( for original , works fine on capo 1 for those of you like me with a lower voice )
verse : C , F , G , Am
pre chorus : F , G , F , F , G
chorus : C , Am , F
chorus ending : Am , G , F ( x2 )
C F
i set all my regrets on fire
G Am
cause i know i’ll never take the time
C F
to unpack my missteps and call all of our friends
G Am
i figure they would take your side
( pre chorus )
F G
i make the bed , just not that well
F
your name comes up a lot
F
when i talk to my mom
G
oh , i think she can tell
( chorus )
C
i was out on the town
Am ( F – F – fx8 quick strums )
so i came to your window last night
C
i tried not to throw stones
Am ( F – F – fx8 quick strums )
but i wanted to come inside
C Am ( F – F – fx8quick strums )
now i’m causing a scene , thinking you need a reason to smile
Am G F
oh no , what have i done?
F G Am
there’s no one to keep me warm
so maybe i should put up a fight
i’ll call them back and borrow a box knife
so i can learn to live with all the stupid s * * * i’ve been doing since ’99
and i know i could be more clever
and i know i could be more strong
but i’m waiting for the day you come back and say
“hey , maybe i should change my mind”
i drink a lot
i’m not sure if that’s new
but these days when i wake up from a night i forgot
i just wish that it never came true
i was out on the town
so i came to your window last night
i tried not to throw stones
but i wanted to come inside
now i’m causing a scene , thinking you need a reason to smile
oh no , what have i done?
there’s no one to keep me warm
and i know i could be more clever
and i know i could be more strong
and i know i could be more clever
and i know i could be more clever
i knew there would come a day when all was said and done
( and i know i could be more clever )
everything i was is everything but gone
( and i know i could be more strong )
all my big mistakes are bouncing off your wall
( and i know i could be more clever )
the bottles never break , the sorrow never comes
( and i know i could be more clever )
so come on let me in , i will be the sun
( and i know i could be more clever )
i will wake you up , i Am who i was
( and i know i could be more strong )
just open up your heart , open up your heart , open up your heart
( and i know i could be more clever
and i know i could be more )
