Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste:
5th traste
Based on live versions by Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds in 2023 (BBC / Jools
Holland / Live shows)
I believe Noel (or Gem) occasionally play "D Dsus4 D" at the end of some of the lines of
the verses as well as
the intro (but maybe not all).
Noel also does not appear to play the full G chord - sliding up from the Am and only
playing the D, G and B
strings.
Chords are relative to capo.
[Intro]
Dsus4 (strum repeatedly for 4 bars)
Am G Gsus4 G Em D Dsus4 D
Am G Gsus4 G Em D Dsus4 D
[Verse 1]
Am G Gsus4 G
When routine bites hard
Em D
and ambitions are low
Am G Gsus4 G
And resentment rides high
Em D
but emotions won't grow
Am G Gsus4 G
And we're changing our ways
Em D
taking different roads
[Chorus]
Am G Gsus4 G Em D
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Am G Gsus4 G Em D
Love, love will tear us apart again
[Interlude]
Dsus4 (strum repeatedly for 4 bars)
Am G Gsus4 G Em D Dsus4 D
Am G Gsus4 G Em D Dsus4 D
[Verse 2]
Am G Gsus4 G
Why is the bedroom so cold?
Em D
You've turned away on your side
Am G Gsus4 G
Is my timing that flawed?
Em D
Our respect runs so dry
Am G Gsus4 G
Yet there's still this appeal
Em D
that we've kept through our lives
[Chorus]
Am G Gsus4 G Em D
But love, love will tear us apart again
Am G Gsus4 G Em D
Love, love will tear us apart again
[Interlude]
Dsus4 (strum repeatedly for 4 bars)
Am G Gsus4 G Em D Dsus4 D
Am G Gsus4 G Em D Dsus4 D
[Verse 3]
Am G Gsus4 G
Do you cry out in your sleep,
Em D
all my failings exposed?
Am G Gsus4 G
There's a taste in my mouth
Em D
as desperation takes hold
Am G Gsus4 G
Just that something so good,
Em D
just can't function no more
[Chorus]
Am G Gsus4 G Em D
But love, love will tear us apart again
Am G Gsus4 G Em D
Love, love will tear us apart again
Am G Gsus4 G Em D
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Am G Gsus4 G Em D
Love, love will tear us apart again
[Outro]
Dsus4
(strum repeatedly for 4 bars and ring out)
