Gonna Get Over You

gonna get over you – sara bareilles ( from kaleidoscope heart )

* there is a walking bass line , but these are the underlying chords

no capo

C
goodbye , should be sayin’ that to you by now , shouldn’t i?
C C/B Am
layin’ down the law that i live by ,
C
though maybe next time

C
i’ve got a thick tongue ,
brimming with the words that go unsung
C C/B Am
simmer then the burn for a someone ,
A#
a wrong one

F G
and i tell myself to let the story end ,
Em Am
my heart will rest in someone else’s hand
F G
my ’why not me?’ philosophy began ,

and i say

C Am
ooh , how’m i gonna get over you?
F G
i’ll be alright , just not tonight
C Am
someday , oh i wish you’d want me to stay
F G
i’ll be alright , just not tonight ,
C
someday

C
maybe is a vicious little word that can slay me
C C/B Am
keep me when i’m hurting and make me ,
C
hang from your hands

C
well , no more , i won’t beg to buy a shot at your back door
C C/B Am
if i make it at the thought of you , what for?
A#
it’s not me anymore

F G
and i’m not the girl that i intend to be ,
Em Am
i dare you darling , just you wait and see
F G
but this time not for you but just for me ,
and i say

C Am
ooh , how’m i gonna get over you?
F G
i’ll be alright , just not tonight
C Am
someday , oh i wish you’d want me to stay
F G
i’ll be alright , just not tonight ,
Fm
someday

C
say it’s coming soon ,
Am
someday without you ,
F G
all i can do is get me past the ghost of you ,

Fm C
wave goodbye to me ,
Am
won’t say i’m sorry ,
i’ll be alright
F G
once i find the other side of
C
someday

C Am F G C Am F G etc
oohoohooohoohooh . . .

chorus

end on C
