with respect to the first version , i only tweaked some parts of the song . it might
sound the same but for me it doesn’t . xd i listened to the song over and over , had
a piano and guitar at hand in case i doubt over a note or starts to consider myself as tone deaf .
so here ya go . i think this is more accurate .
G C Em C G – C – Em
these hammers and strings been following me around
G C Em C G C Em
from a box filled garage to the dark punk rock clubs of 1000 american towns
G C
and my friend calls me up ,
Em D G C
he says , “how have you been?” i say , “dear i’ve been well ,
Em D G C
yeah the money’s coming but i miss you like hell .
Em D G C Em D
i still hear you in this old piano , oh yeah . ”
verse 2 chords :
G Cadd9 Em D
she says , “andy , i know that we don’t talk as much
G Cadd9 Em D
but i still hear your ghost in these old punk rock clubs
G Cadd9 Em D
come on , write me a song , give me something to trust
G Cadd9 D C
just promise you won’t let it be , just the keys that you touch . ”
chorus :
G D
give me something to believe in , a breath from the breathing
Em C
so write it down , i don’t think that i’ll close my eyes
G D
’cause lately i’m not dreaming , so what’s the point in sleeping?
Em C
it’s just that at night , i’ve got nowhere to hide
G – C – Em G – C – Em
so i write you a lullaby a lullaby
these hammers and strings been following me around
behind passenger vans through the snow , dirt , and sands
of 1000 american towns .
and my friend calls me up with her heart heavy still she says ,
“andy , the doctors prescribed me the pills . but i know i’m not crazy .
i just lost my will . so why Am i , why Am i taking them still?”
chorus :
i need something to believe in , a breath from the breathing
so write it down , i don’t think that i’ll close my eyes
’cause lately i’m not dreaming , so what’s the point in sleeping?
it’s just that at night , i’ve got nowhere to hide
post – chorus :
Em D C

G D C D G D C D

final chorus :
