well i'm supposed to be studying for exams right now so i figured this would be
the perfect time to dick around and write this out. the piano chords are posted
on ron pope's myspace but this is just a really simple way of playing it on
acoustic guitar, in a completely different key. i play it with a capo on the
third fret for my voice.
intro:
(i like to add my pinky to each chord so it kind of
mimicks the piano version)
verse
i drove eleven hundred miles to find a photograph i'd lost
it's just a polaroid i used to keep of a girl that i once loved
and sleep, it leads to nightmares, as i never can forget
so now i'm dreaming of los angeles as the winter closes in
said i'm dreaming of los angeles as the winter closes in
*play intro chords*
and we met seven english girls who asked if we'd like to see God
and i'm not one for missed adventures, so i answered with a smile
we spent the night on razor's edge, all innocence and sin
and now i'm strung out on the bowery as the winter closes in
now i'm strung out on the bowery as the winter closes in
chorus:
and i won't cry if you can't love me like the way it used to feel
we had our summer on long island, now there's wounds that never healed
and i won't cry if you can't love me like the way it used to feel
we had our summer on long island, now there's wounds...that never healed
*play intro chords*
(for the second set stop at D)
(play each chord with one down stroke)
i'd paint a picture of my mother, but i can't recall her face
she's even far away at midnight, when her laughter haunts my dreams
i ain't never been this broken, i've got nothing left to give
so now i'm searching for salvation as the winter closes in
i said i'm searching for salvation as the winter closes in
man i'm searching for salvation as the winter closes in
and i won't cry if you can't love me like the way it used to feel
we had our summer on long island, now there's wounds that never healed
and i won't cry if you can't love me like the way it used to feel
we had our summer on long island, now there's wounds that never healed
oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhh oh oh ohhhhhhhhhh oh oh
oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhh oh oh ohhhhhhhhhh oh oh
oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhh oh oh ohhhhhhhhhh oh oh
oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhhhh oh oh ohhhhhhhhhh oh oh
outro:
oh oh ohhhhhhhhhhh oh oh
post script: after i post this the chords will probably misplace themselves. im
not really sure how to fix that.
