Chord progression arranged for the Ukulele
#To play in key, you will need a capo on the second fret.  
#If you choose not to use a capo, the song sounds just fine without it.
#Although you will not be able to play along with the song.

#In the song, you might notice that before he switches chords, there is a
#slight change in the chord.
#You can achieve the same effect by using your little finger to hit an extra
#note on the A A string while playing the chord.
#For Fm Fm, hit fret 3; for C# C#, hit fret 5; for G# G#, hit fret 3; and for D# D#, hit
#fret 2. (relative to the capo)

# During the chorus and intro, use the extra note.
# During the last part, only play the chords once and let ring.


# Intro:
Fm Fm C# C# G# G# D# D#
Fm Fm C# C# G# G# D# D#

Fm Fm C# C#
Well I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
G# G# D# D#
Just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
Fm Fm C# C#
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken,
G# G# D# D#
Begging God to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.
Fm Fm C# C#
Broke my knuckles on the wall because I thought about the call
G# G# D# D#
Where you said you'd always love me, do you not tell the truth at all?
Fm Fm C# C#
Well if I ever cross your mind, make sure you write down the times
G# G# D# D#
So I will know the moments I was eating you alive.


Fm Fm C# C# G# G#
Now I lay here waiting with the hope that I might find some sleep
D# D# Fm Fm
I need some sleep tonight,
C# C# G# G#
Cause I've been waiting on your call but I know it will never come
D# D# Fm Fm
but I'm still waiting by the phone.


Fm Fm
And don't you dare, don't you dare,
G# G# D# D#
Say you ever loved me or even tell me that you cared
Fm Fm
Cause you knew what you were doing and you know just what you've done.
G# G# D# D#
How dare you say you miss me with your spit still on his tongue!
Fm Fm
I am broken. I am beaten. I'm mistreated and I'm torn.
G# G# D# D#
I am cold with no direction but I'm lost without your warmth.
Fm Fm
I'm trying hard to find some hope that I might get the chance to breathe.
GD
Get off my mind, give back my heart and get the fuck away from me!
Fm Fm
I know I couldn't give you much, but I know I gave my best,
G# G# D# D#
You were always my princess, and now he's sliding up your dress
Fm Fm
And I know I gave the world everything I've ever had,
G# G# D# D# *Stop*
Johnny Cash said love would burn, I never thought it'd hurt this bad.



Fm Fm C# C#
Well I'm so tired of the rain falling softly on the ground,
G# G# D# D#
Just enough to get my feet wet but not enough to let me drown.
Fm Fm C# C#
I've been laying in my bed wishing I had never woken,
G# G# D# D#
Begging God to rid my head of every word you've ever spoken.

Fm Fm
You are the itch that's on my back.
C# C#
You are the gum under my shoe.
G# G#
You are the horrors of my past.
D# D#
You are the chill that haunts the room.
Fm Fm
You are the creaking on my steps.
C# C#
You are cancer. You are plague.
G# G#
You are regret. You are disease.
D# D#
I wish that you would go away.

#Strum some D# D#. End on C# C#, let ring.
