Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste
I'm very sad that I haven't found even how to play this anywhere. Here's my best guess.
I don't know if it's
what they're actually playing, or what I'm doing in the sligthest, but this sounds
pretty good at least!
Note: I'm playing the version of Em with three fingers! That is, pressing the third fret
of the E string so
it's set to G. I don't know if this means anything, but I hope it helps!
[Verse 1]
G
Maybe I'm just insecure and I should've know better
D
Than picking at a scab and blowing it up
C
And yeah sure I could've handled it better
D
But you never even looked me up
G
And now I'm not so sure that we can do better
D
Easy falling in, but not so much out
C
Nice and slow like an outgrown feather
D
Plenty of time before we hit the ground
[Chorus]
G Em
I've been awake, been awake for a long time
C
And I don't understand,
D
No I don't understand...
G Em
I've been awake, been awake for a long time
C
And I don't understand,
D
No I don't understand
Em
Why I couldn't love you better
[Verse 2]
G
And now you're on the mend and there's nothing much to it
D
Keeping to the rosewood, doing what you're supposed to
C
I'm happy to pretend that we've gotten through it
D
Saying "wasn't it good while it was good?"
G
Well, I'm just insecure and I should've known better
D
But I can't help thinking, maybe you've been thinking
C D
We're not gonna do better, plenty of time to come around
[Chorus]
G Em
I've been awake, been awake for a long time
C
And I don't understand,
D
No I don't understand...
G Em
I've been awake, been awake for a long time
C
And I don't understand,
D
No I don't understand why I couldn't
[Outro]
Em G
G Em
Why I couldn't love you better...
D
Why I couldn't!
G Em C D
G Em
I've been awake, been awake for a long time
C
And I don't understand,
D
No I don't understand why I couldn't
G Em
I've been awake, been awake for a long time
C
And I don't understand,
D G
No I don't understand why I couldn't
