The Curse Of Perfect Days Acoustic

[B6] (or [G/B])     [Em]    [G]  There is also another chord sometimes used in the song, its some form
e-----------|----|---| of D without the rd (so idk if it is a Dm or Dmaj), so I just call it a D,
b-----------|----|---| but I play just the bass notes open (DAD)
g-----------|----|---|
d-7---------|-2--|-3-|
a-8---------|-2--|-3-|
d-7---------|-2--|-3-|

All, or most, chords can be played regularly, except that you have to accommodate
for the dropped d. Also, if you want to you can play most of the other strings
open.

And you knew e[B6]xactl[Em]y when[G]
[B6] you gave your heart a[Em]nd all of it [G]   [Em]
[B6]Without a thou[Em]ght of what[G] you meant
[B6]you knew you couldn'[Em]t live without thi[G]s  [Em]

So ma[Em]ke you[G]r excus[B6]es now
that t[Em]ime has sto[G]len all th[B6]at you've[G] earned
[Em]Make yo[G]ur exc[B6]uses now
that t[Em]ime has st[G]olen her  [B6]
[Em]time has st[G]olen her [Am]

(There is another guitar playing the melody, but I usually play it on the d
string. it is mostly just switching between the noes E and D)

[D]        [Em] [D] [Em]
[Em]Tell me that I'm a fool That I've exaggerated [C]the situation           [Am]
[Em]'Cause I've never been scared like this Of losing more than I[C] have to give            [Am]

For this part I will use a small tab to show you how I play it. Im sure that this
is meant for two guitars, but I will just show you how I play it. You can let all
strings ring if you want to.

It's so      unfair                      I  believed I could handle this
I swore  I  could    fix             everything

[C]But I told myself lies all of these years

(quickly) [D] (open) [Em] [D] [Em] STOP
                                           I told myself lies
(same again) [D] [Em] [D] [Em] STOP
                                        All of these years

DEmDEm(keep playing [Em])
          The fear that moves in and stays here
[D] [Em]  [D] [Em]      The words that replay in your ears
[D] [Em]  [D] [Em]      The grip that you held has weakened
[D] [Em]  [D] [Em]      Was the life that was yours forsaken
But [C]I can't take my eyes off of you

*Chorus*

 STOP                        [G]
And we were still so cool
Our bodies smooth and young (bodies [Em]smooth and young)
The dreams of getting older        [C]

Were never supposed to come (were never supposed to come)
The curse of perfect days        [G]
You forget just what you've made (forget ju[Em]st what you've made)
And you find yourself just praying      [C]

For something more than this life
Something more than this   l   i   f   e[Em]                 [G]

[Em]We wait for the doctors, to prescribe their[D] medicines
[Em]And hold their bad news, as if later it wil[D]l make more sense
[Em]But I've never been scared like this (It's so unfair)
Just waiti[D]ng for my strength to give (I thought I could handle this)
[Em]But this is the rock, I broke my[B6]self against (I swore I could fix anything)

We believe[C]d we'd have our way (And we di[Em]d, and we did)
The me[C]mories we have made (Everyday [G]was the best [Fmaj11]day of my life)
I could ne[C]ver repay what I owe (I'll re[Em]place, I'll reload)
[C]Even though I read t[Am]he ending before the st[G]art
[Fmaj11]I would have never changed a single part

[G]  [Am]  [Em]  [C]

[G]Tell me I'm a fool,[Am] tell me I'm just [Em]scared
Say I'm such a drama q[C]ueen, it's not even fair
[G]Let me see your eyes, the[Am] love that's right behind           [Em]
And I'll promise you[C]
That it will never die     [G]        [Am]
                   [Em]  [C] STOP
It will never die

*Chorus*

(first half is slowed down significantly)

And we were still so cool      [C]
Our bodies smooth and young (bodies [Em]smooth and young)
The dreams of getting older        [C]

Were never supposed to come (were never supposed to come)

(pick up pace again here)

Stop                         [G]
The curse of perfect days
You forget just what you've made (forget ju[Em]st what you've made)
And you find yourself just praying      [C]

For something more than this life
                                        [Em] (slide up to) [G] STOP
Something more than this   l   i   f   e
