Of course you hold the F chord at the end then the verse appears:
Never too soon to be through
Being cool too much too soon
Too much for me, too much for you
You~re gonna lose in time
Don~t be afraid to show your friends
That you hurt inside, inside
Pain~s part of life
Don~t hide behind your false pride
It~s a lie, you lie
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I~m not bigger than life
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I~m not bigger than life
I~m tired of being untouchable
I~m not above the love
I~m part of you and you~re part of me
Why did you go away
Finding what you~re looking for can end up
Being such a bore
I pray for you most everyday, I pray for you
Now fly away
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I~m not bigger than life
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I~m not bigger than life
(very quickly now, the guitar and bass plays:
G ---------
D --------- When the guitar plays the 6th fret (the Bb note), it also plays
A -5p0-7--- a power chord on it and therefore from that note the guitar
E -------6- plays a series of chords that go:
all I just did here was to write down the rhythm chords, I have and will not
as little as it may seem). If you listen to the album, you can
figure out how these chords come in. The G5/Bb5 part is when the guitar
slides from G5 to Bb5. Listen and you shall hear, my child. Anyway, the
rest goes something like this:
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I~m not bigger than life
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I~m not bigger than life
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I~m not bigger than life
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I~m not bigger than life
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I~m not bigger than life
If you see me getting mighty
If you see me getting high
Knock me down
I~m not bigger than life
It~s so lonely when you don~t even know yourself, it~s so lonely
It~s so lonely when you don~t even know yourself, it~s so lonely...
Please escuse all the redudancy and other things. I shall explain the
chords now and how I play them. Please remember that this is my best
estimate of this sad song. If you find any errors or so on could you please
email me. Anyway, before explaining every chords, I must explain that the
Em(?) chord does not really exist. I am not sure if there is another chord
that ends the normal chorus so I presume that the Em chord sustains. So my
denoting Em(?) means that I am not sure if it is the Em chord that is
playing at that time. And also, my ways of playing these chords are not by
gospel. Anyway, here we go:
Em7 0 2 2 4 3 3 <-- a very weird way to play the Em7 chord
Now that I have wasted countless computer space (and if this is printed out,
the trees will die). But I hope this helps out a lot. Bye-bye...
