theory of a deaman “santa monica” acoustic
h * equals harmonic
intro :
harmonics : first two played on 12th fret E then B . second two played on 7th
fret G then B strings .
play harmonics * then Em ( down , down , up ) h * G ( down , down , up ) h * D ( down , down , up ) h *
Csus2 ( down , down , up )
verse :
you can play power chords or regular chords i think they use the power chords for the verse .
Em Bm G
she fills my bed with gasoline
D C
you think i would’ve noticed
Em Bm G
her mind’s made up the love is gone
D C
i think someone’s trying to show us a sign
Em Bm G
that even if we thought it would last
D C
the moment would pass
Em Bm G
my bones will break and my heart would give
D C
oh , it hurts to live
chorus :
Em G D
and i remember the day when you left for santa monica
Csus2 D
you left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
Em G D
and i remember the time when you left for santa monica
Csus2 D
and i remember the day you told me it’s over
Em chord ( down , down , up ) . . . h * 12th fret E . . B . h *
7th fret G . . gg chord ( down , down , up ) G chord ( down , up )
but when you do the upstroke move your finger on the
low E string to the second fret which gives it that
slight change you here . . . h * 5th fret A , D , G strings all together .
verse :
Em Bm G
it hurts to breathe , well every time
D C
that you’re not next to me
Em Bm G
her mind’s made up , the girl is gone
D C
and now i’m forced to see
Em Bm G
i think i’m on my way
D C
oh , it hurts to live today
Em Bm G
oh and she says “don’t you wish
D C
you were dead like me?”
chorus :
Em G D
and i remember the day when you left for santa monica
Csus2 Em
you left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
Em G D
i remember the time when you left for santa monica

bridge : E . . . F# . . . G . . . A ( 1 )
E . . . F# . . . G . . . D ( 2 ) ( keep alternating throughout the bridge )
i wanted more than this ( 1 )
i needed more than this ( 2 )
i deserve more than this ( 1 )
but it just won’t stop ( 2 )
it just won’t go away ( 1 )
i needed more than this ( 1 )
i wanted more than this ( 2 )
i asked for more than this ( 1 )
but it just won’t stop ( 2 )
it just won’t go away ( 1 )
chorus :
Em G D
and i remember the day when you left for santa monica
Csus2 Em
you left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
G D
and i remember the time when you left it all behind
Csus2
and i remember the day you told me it’s over
chorus :
Em G D
and i remember the day when you left for santa monica
Csus2 Em
you left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
G D
and i remember the time when you left for santa monica
Csus2
yeah , i remember the day you told me it’s over
well thats it just get the strumming figured out and enjoy .
that harmonic part after the first chorus i couldn’t really
figure out by ear but it works for me i’m sure it’s not
totally correct but the rest of the song should be fairly
close . enjoy .
