Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

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 exactly when

you gave your heart and all of it

Without a thought of what you meant

you knew you couldn't live without this

 So make your excuses now

 that time has stolen all that you've earned

Make your excuses now

 that time has stolen her

time has stolen her

(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)

Tell me that I'm a fool That I've exaggerated the situation

'Cause I've never been scared like this Of losing more than I have to give

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

It's so unfair I believed I could handle this

I swore I could fix everything

But I told myself lies all of these years

 (quickly) (open) STOP

I told myself lies

 (same again) STOP

All of these years

 DEmDEm(keep playing )

The fear that moves in and stays here

The words that replay in your ears

The grip that you held has weakened

Was the life that was yours forsaken

 But I can't take my eyes off of you

*Chorus*

  STOP

And we were still so cool

 Our bodies smooth and young (bodies smooth and young)

 The dreams of getting older

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

 The curse of perfect days

 You forget just what you've made (forget just what you've made)

 And you find yourself just praying

For something more than this life

 Something more than this l i f e

We wait for the doctors, to prescribe their medicines

And hold their bad news, as if later it will make more sense

But I've never been scared like this (It's so unfair)

 Just waiting for my strength to give (I thought I could handle this)

But this is the rock, I broke myself against (I swore I could fix anything)

 We believed we'd have our way (And we did, and we did)

 The memories we have made (Everyday was the best day of my life)

 I could never repay what I owe (I'll replace, I'll reload)

Even though I read the ending before the start

I would have never changed a single part

Tell me I'm a fool, tell me I'm just scared

 Say I'm such a drama queen, it's not even fair

Let me see your eyes, the love that's right behind

 And I'll promise you

 That it will never die

  STOP

It will never die

*Chorus*

(first half is slowed down significantly)

 And we were still so cool

 Our bodies smooth and young (bodies smooth and young)

 The dreams of getting older

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

(pick up pace again here)

 Stop

The curse of perfect days

 You forget just what you've made (forget just what you've made)

 And you find yourself just praying

For something more than this life

  (slide up to) STOP

Something more than this l i f e
