This song consists of primarily 
barre chords, but does have some 
open ones. Watch the video to see 
where
the open chords are.

Also I can't tell if he's playing G#
 or G#m, but I thought G#m sounded 
better.


B*
This just dawned on me
                    E*             
I haven't spoken to another person 
     G#*
in a week
B*
I've been sitting silently
            E*                G#*
Telling myself I need time to think
E*
I met you at the coffeeshop
                  B*            
We marched on the interstate and 
             G#*
blocked the cops
E*
The echoes of the flash grenades
            B*                G#*
Rang in our ears as we moved along

B*
I called it "positivity,"
                  E*             
And congratulated myself on a job 
       G#*
well done
B*
But after a couple of days
                E*                 
The fire that I thought would burn 
            G#*
it down was gone
Emaj7
Meet me at the Polish bar
            B*                G#*
I'll be the one looking at my phone
E*
Shaking like a nervous kid
           B*                 G#*
Absolutely terrified of being alone

B
So where can you go when the 
troubles inside you
Continúa después del anuncio
Emaj7
Make your limbs feel like they're 
covered in lead?
B
How can you solve all the problems 
around you
Emaj7
When you can't even solve the ones 
in your head?
   B       E     B
I need you right now
   B       E     B
I need you right now
  E**                 C#m
Before I feel totally dead

E        G       B
WHOOOOOO OOOOOOO OOOOOH!
E        G
WHOOOOOO OOOOOOO -
B*
It came on suddenly
                    E*             
I haven't spoken to another person 
     G#*
in a month
B*
Well, small talk, OBVIOUSLY
               E*                  
But nothing beyond barely catching 
G*
up
Emaj7
I have lots of things to say
                        B         
But they're gonna sound dumb dumb 
G#m
dumb
Emaj7
I have lots of things to say
                B   G#m
But I'm just an idiot

B
So where can you go when the 
troubles inside you
E
Make your limbs feel like they're 
covered in lead?
B
How can you solve all the problems 
around you
E
When you can't even solve the ones 
in your head?
   B       E     B
I need you right now
   B       E     B
I need you right now
   E**                C#m
Before I feel totally dead

E        G       B
WHOOOOOO OOOOOOO OOOOOH!

Aadd9
Shriek into the toxic well
      E                     B**
Where everybody's screaming for 
themselves
    Aadd9                     
And leaves no space to process 
         F#
feeling lost
      Aadd9
These overwhelming distractions
        E              B**         
Lead to pow-pow-pa-powerlessness
Aadd9

                               F#
And I feel too weak to walk it off

[Break]
B** E G#m (x2)

Emaj7
Meet me at the Polish bar
            B                 G#m
I'll be the one looking at my phone
Emaj7
Shaking like a nervous kid
        B                   G#m
