Mayday Parade - When You See My Friends

i recommend playing this song in D# standard tuning , in the key of d! these chords are
in original key .

( F#/F is simply dropping the root of the chord one half step to serve as a step down to
the G#7 . the same is true of the G#/C , which is easiest done by dropping the root A
single half step . )

intro : A#m F# C# G# ( x2 )

A#m F# C# G#
i’m burned out with a bright light , i wasn’t ready for this .
A#m F# C# G#
you’re adorable as hell , but i’m glancing at your wrists .
A#m F# C# G#
oh , please have faith , i can be so cavalier .
A#m F# C# G#
and when they start to ask questions i’ll make sure to be clear .

F# F#/F G#7
when you see my friends , tell them hi for me .
C# G#/C A#m
tell them what you think about the way you handled everything .
F# F#/F G#7
you turned and all you left me with was this broken key .
A#m F# C# G# A#m
F# C# G#
so tell me what you think .

A#m F# C# G#
give it up for the long nights and all those terrible fights .
A#m F# C# G#
were you honest with yourself , every version of yourself?
A#m F# C# G#
did you get lost on the side of the road?
A#m F# C# G#
if you keep acting this way , i swear i’ll never come home .

F# F#/F G#7
when you see my friends , tell them hi for me .
C# G#/C A#m
tell them what you think about the way you handled everything .
F# F#/F G#7
we walked along on this broken road for eternity
C# G#/C A#m
so give me company and help me sing this lonely melody .
F# F#/F G#7
you turned and all you left me with was this broken key .
A#m F# C# G# A#m
F# C# G#
so tell me what you think .

A#m F# C# G#
sign me up , no regrets , make a man out of me .
A#m F# C# G#
and i won’t say a word and i’ll give all the things
A#m F# C# G#
that you want and i need just to give me some peace .
A#m F# C# G#
at the bottom of the ocean there’s a place for you and me .
A#m F# C# G#
A#m F#
lead the way straight ahead , you gave me the time of my life
C# G# A#m F#
and it cut like a knife to the bone .

( acoustic )
F# F#/F G#7
when you see my friends , tell them hi for me .
C# G#/C A#m
tell them what you think about the way you handled everything .
F# F#/F G#7
so neat and clean , well the world is full of such pretty things .
C# G#/C A#m
so do your best for me .

outro : F# F#/F G#7 C#
G#/C A#m F# F#/F G#7 C#
