so the other chords that are up for this song are terribly off .
here’s my attempt at transcribing from this video :
this at least is in the correct key , and is more for playing and singing along with the
song . i didn’t bother to try to figure out every single chord and chord change in this .
what makes it difficult is getting the proper strumming pattern . the chord changes are
rather quick , and i find that adding some palm muting in between chord transitions on the
verses sounds really nice .
thanks!
capo 4
intro : A ( one strum )
A F#m
never thought that i could feel such a slap in the face
A F#m
since my semester in new york where i drank it away
A F#m
social strategies are taught to bohemian crowds
A F#m
and my love was like a food stamp handing it out
A
oh , though i fell in love with you , all fey and grizzled and mature
F#m
you left me naked , pining , whining on your bathroom floor
A
if it makes you jealous , tell us just which boy we should adore
F#m
only talk about myself , so i don’t mind that he’s a bore
A F#m D E
he’s a like a less cute version of you but he’ll have to do
A F#m D
he’s like a wal – mart version of you but he’ll have to do
E A
he’ll have to do
A F#m
mountain man , brag about your band to me
A F#m
you got me hot with all those snide remarks about my poetry
A F#m
but he gobbles up every single line about the stars
A F#m
and how they scar my slightly chubby arms like brightly lit cigars
A F#m A
so now he’s next to me but i can feel you in my heart
F#m
you’re everything , you’re everything he’ll never be
A F#m D E
it’s misery and more specifically , i miss that day you spit on me
A F#m D E
he’s a like a less cute version of you but he’ll have to do
A F#m D
he’s like a wal – mart version of you but he’ll have to do
E A
he’ll have to do
A F#m D E
he’s a like a less cute version of you but he’ll have to do
A F#m D
he’s like a wal – mart version of you but he’ll have to do
E A
he’ll have to do
A F#m
he’s got no inkling of your status or mind
A F#m
he’s just the glue that i splatter to bind
A F#m
you and i like siamese twins
A F#m D
so let this sick sad game begin
A F#m A
now you’re here again and he will wonder where i’ve been
F#m
i’m giving in but in my own opinion , it’s how to be
A
though i can hear him singing
D E D
all this envy’s killing me , it’s killing me
A F#m D E
he’s a like a less cute version of you but he’ll have to do
A F#m D
he’s like a wal – mart version of you but he’ll have to do
E A
he’ll have to do
( through this next chorus a second voice sings “and every time i see your face i die
inside” extended through each line , listen to the song to hear how this goes )
A F#m D E
he’s a like a less cute version of you but he’ll have to do
A F#m D
he’s like a wal – mart version of you but he’ll have to do
E A
he’ll have to do
F#m A E ( end on E )
