Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Chords:
 In the first verse, when moving from F to Am, try hammering onto the Am quickly
 then moving immediately to the G chord.
 For all following verses, try to use a more basic strumming pattern.
 The only tricky part is knowing when to and when not to sing.
Past  the road to your house
  That  you never called home
  Where  they turned out the lights
  Though  they  say you’ll never know
 
I  remember running  through the wet grass
Falling  a step behind
Both  of us never tiring
Desperately  wanting
 
When  they pumped out your guts
  And  filled you full of those pills
  You  were never quite right
  Deserving  all the chills
  They  say the worst is over
  Kicked  it  over and ran
  Then  they ask what went wrong
  When  they turn you on again
  They  turn you on again.
 
I  remember running  through the wet grass
Falling  a step behind
Both  of us never tiring
Desperately  wanting
I  remember running  through the wet grass
Falling  a step behind
Both  of us never tiring
Desperately  wanting
 Kick them right in the face
   Make them wish they weren’t born
   And if they bring up your name
   Well they’ll say you won the war.
   Baby burst in the world
   Never given a chance
   Then they ask what went wrong
   When you never had it right
   No you never had it right
I  remember running  through the wet grass
Falling  a step behind
Both  of us never tiring
Desperately  wanting
-slide  up to 5th fret  &  only-
Oh  the letters  they’ve dropped off
Though  they say you  got them all
…  (let ring out)
 I finally figured out some things you’ll never know.

Take  back  your life
Let me  inside
Well  find  the door
If  you care, if you  care to  anymore.
I  remember running  through the wet grass
Falling  a step behind
Both  of us never tiring
Desperately  wanting
