this tab is for the acoustic version in this video :
the guitarist varies between A D and Dsus4 throughout the chorus and verses .
in the bridge they add a part from the paper rivals song “weak sister” and
i’m not sure what the chord names are so i’ll just call them D#2 , D#3 , D#4 , and D#5 . the
numbers are for what fret is pushed down and goes from the low E to the high E .
D#2 : 300230
D#3 : 030230
D#4 : 020230
D#5 : 010230
D
i think i tried to wake up too fast
Bm
from what must have been a two year nap
G A D
then i hit my head and it was back to bed for a while
i woke up twenty – four in texas
Bm
breaking a sweat to expand my nexus
G A
when it occurred to me , maybe i shouldn’t be
D
making excuses to cope so liberally
they say some things just don’t wash out
Bm
but i’ve been dying to know what getting clean is all about
G
and now years have gone by
A
but it’s still stuck in my mind
D
some things just don’t wash out
D
for too long now i’ve sung the same sad song
Bm
but i didn’t even write it; i was just singing along
G A
but the problem with change is it’s hard
D
like finding lively conversation in graveyards
i hit the nail on the head , drove it straight through my hand
Bm
i have martyred myself in a scheme not so grand
G A
more deserving of men left to rot in a rag
D
haven’t done shit with my life and my skin is starting to sag
G
you drink too much , your mind’s unfit
A
you really can’t afford to live like this
G
you’re only almost there , but still so far
A
everyone? everyone!
D
they say some things just don’t wash out
Bm

A
but it’s still stuck in my mind
D
some things just don’t wash out
D#2
weak sister , close your eyes
D#3 D#4
lay your burdens down and fall asleep
D#5 D D#2
life starts again tomorrow
D D#2 D#3
you need this , you want that
D#4
you’re better off alone
D#5 A
you need this , you want that
D#2 D
you’ve gotta dig
D#2 D#3
you’ve got to dig
D#4
you’ve gotta dig
D#5 D#2
you’ve got to dig
D

G
now years have gone by
A
but it’s still stuck in my mind
D
some things just don’t wash out
all but the bridge is pretty easy , if you watch the video it will make the bridge seem
less confusing . if you have questions , noticed mistakes , or know the name of those chords
