[Intro]
G C G x2
[Verse 1]
G
It helps me to pretend that there's a song in my guitar
C
Should I go up to my room, or should I stay here at the bar?
D
After searching for the sound, I put the wood and steel down
G
Having not got far
[Verse 2]
G
Sometimes I swear I hear it, ringing in my ears
C
But to try too hard to find it is the sum of all my fears
D
I let the chorus be the hearse, for every dead forgotten verse
G
I've carried through the years
[Pre-Chorus]
N.C. G C C
It's like the perfect melody is hidden in a tomb . . .
D
And every misplaced note.
The ones I stole, the ones I wrote
C G
All just self-inflicted wounds
[Chorus]
Em Bm
Memory as an instrument is flawed
Bm C Bm Am
It lets me live inside the dream I swear I saw
D
Don't try to polish up what should stay raw
N.C. G
It's just a song
[Interlude]
G G7 C D D7 G C G
[Verse 3]
G
Everyone is looking for it, wondering where it's at
C
And the radio now is just a tourist trap
D
Every musical mistake, every bad middle eight
G
Just leaves me flat
[Verse 4]
G
So if you've got it in you, I can get it out
G7 C
And it can't be a sin to live with one's own doubts
D
When the tape a starts a-rollin', you shouldn't scream or shout
G
Just sing your heart out
[Pre-Chorus]
N.C. G C C
It's like the perfect melody is hidden in a tomb . . .
D
And every misplaced note.
The ones I stole, the ones I wrote
C G
All just self-inflicted wounds
[Chorus]
Em Bm
Memory as an instrument is flawed
Bm C Bm Am
It lets me live inside the dream I swear I saw
D
Don't try to polish up what should stay raw
Em G
It's just a song
[Outro]
Am D
Don't have to think that every note is wrong
C G
It's just a soooooooooooong
