The Script - Six Degrees Of Separation

since i’m also a piano player i also like to add an occasional D# bass underneath the B
chords and general improve over the chords . but for guitarists it may be easier to play
all chords using the open chords of E major to make it simple yet nice , or , transpose
this down four , put a capo on the fourth fret and play it in C . and all the chord changes
are syncopated .
and the lyrics are probably shifty , so you may wanna recheck them with something else ,
or your own ears .
have fun!
nita .

E
you’ve read the books ,
Emaj7
you’ve watched the shows ,
A B
what’s the best way no one knows , yeah ,
E Emaj7
( medicated? ) , hypnotized .
A B
anything to take it from your mind .
A B
but it wont go ,
E C#m
you’re doing all these things out of desperation ,
A B
oh , whoa ,
E
you’re going through six degrees of separation .

( verse chords same )
you hear the drinking , take a toll
watch the past go up in smoke .
fake a smile , yeah , lie and say
you’re better now than ever , and your life’s okay
when it’s not , whoa
you’re doing all these things out of desperation ,
oh , whoa
you’re going through six degrees of separation .

C#m A E
first , you think the worst is a broken heart
B C#m
what’s gonna kill you is the second part
A E B
and the third , is when your world splits down the middle
C#m A E
and fourth , you’re gonna think that you fixed yourself
B

C#m A E
B
and the sixth , is when you admit that you may have F * * ked up a little

C#m A E B
( ( my mother ain’t no help? ) , it’s every man for himself ) x2

( verse chords same )

gems and stones ,
believing all that shit is gonna heal your soul .
