The Weekend (acoustic)
View chords used in this chart
Tuning: Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
A
Though I seem cool, calm and collected
Making my way to Hipster with Glasses
Asus4/Db
Was a little more than just nerve wrackin'
Kinda' just counted on her to turn me into goo
A
Praise Whatever it ended with a smile
Cause for a bit, a tad, a little while
Asus4/Db
I expected you two, to save the day with sly remarks
Like "he's so cute" and "whatever you wants"
A
Though the white jacket didn't fit
The friends I came with did, perfectly
Asus4/Db
Snugged right to my body
Like sad movies and late night drinks
A
Could've guessed by the end of the hour
There was more than just a little smile on my face
Asus4/Db
Covered in custard and cookies and cream, pissed off I had to leave
But all has to end.
A
You got a smile that could light this town and we might need it
Asus4/Db
Cause it gets dark around here, real dark around here
A
Most of my old friends I can only stand for the weekend
Asus4/Db
But that doesn't apply here, doesn't apply here
A
The day started with a bloody drip
And a taste on my lips that was a lot less than desired
Asus4/Db
Awkward moments to the side
Not all expiring fast
A
A tank top that didn't cover a thing
And a zipped down hoodie, zipped to the bottom
Asus4/Db
Had us laughing every time
No matter how many chest hairs there were in sight
A
You got a smile that could light this town and we might need it
Asus4/Db
Cause it gets dark around here, real dark around here
A
Most of my old friends I can only stand for the weekend
Asus4/Db
But that doesn't apply here, doesn't apply here
