Glen Hansard - Trying To Pull Myself Away

A Em A
breaking up in the station , a final train
Em A
i don’t even know if i’ll ever see you again
Em A
is it a choice that we even have?

A Em A
bang bang down on the piano ’til i smash the keys
Em A
living alone with the melodies
Em A
everything’s gone and i don’t know where

D Fm# E
and the rule of thumb don’t apply anymore
D
’cause the house is burning . . . .

A Em D
trying to pull myself away
A Em D
i’m caught in a pattern and i can’t escape
A Em D
trying to pull myself away

A Em A
lately when i get lost there’s this thing i know
Em A
even the dogs have somewhere to go
Em A
everything comes if you just let it be

A Em A
work , work , brighten the corners that will never see
Em A
untangle the thoughts that you know what they mean
Em A
i hope that the answer didn’t come to late

D Fm# E
and the rule of thumb don’t apply on me
D
’cause the tables are turning . . . .

A Em D
trying to pull myself away
A Em D
i’m caught in a pattern and i can’t escape
A Em D
trying to pull myself away

[ / A / Em / D / D / pattern all through the outro ]

trying to pull myself away , everything’s gone
trying to pull myself away , everything’s gone

song performed by glan hansard in the movie once – i haven’t found the tab on the net ,
that’s the reason why i’ve tabbed it and the above is here now ; )

this is a basic chords progression . chords themselves may be more complex in the
version of the song , but this will do for a simple playing .
the strumming should be very strong and vivid – listen to the original and you will
catch it .

have fun .
