You can play this song with just power chords of the above and
have a tremelo effect on and it’ll sound like the background guitar
Song sounds good with a piano, a distorted guitar, and drums (and singers of course)
Beginning: You can use a delay pedal or something to
just keep the repeated notes going throughout the whole song
Starts with Gb and the repeating notes
let me know, do I still got time to
grow, things ain't always set in
stone, that bein' known, let me
know, let me, it seems like
Chorus:
streetlights, glowin', happen to be just like
moments, passin' in front of me
so, i hopped in the cab and i paid my fare
see, i know my destination, but i'm just not there
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
in the streets
in the streets, i'm just not there
in the streets, i'm just not there
life's just not fair
Chorus x3
Outro:
in the streets
in the streets, i'm just not there
in the streets, i'm just not there
life's just not fair, life's just not fair…
And that's it! Great song, very different from his other stuff
