D D/Ab /A D/B D E E* E** G
youll take ad-vantage til you think you�re being used
D D/Ab /A D/B E E* E** G
cos without an enemy your anger gets confused
Bm Bm7* Bm7 F#7 G*
i got stuck on the si----de you know i never chose
D D/C# riff1 D* D** D E* E** G D D/A D
but its all about taking the ea--sy way out for you i suppose
D D/Ab /A D/B D E E* E** G
theres no es-cape for you except in someone else
D D/Ab /A D/B D E E* E** G
although youve already disappeared within yourself
Bm Bm7* Bm7 F#7 G*
the invisible ma---n who�s always changing clothes
D D/C# riff1 D* D** D E* E** G D
its all about taking the ea--sy way out for you i suppose
Bm F# E**
while i watch you making mistakes
Bm F# Bm
i wish you luck, i really do
Bm7* D6 Bm Bm7* D6 Bm
with the problem, with the puzzle
Bm7* D6 E G**
what-ever is left of you
D D/Ab /A D/B D E riff2 G
D D/Ab /A D/B D E E* E** G
i heard you found another audience to bore
D D/Ab /A D/B D E E* E** G
a creative thinker who imagined you were more
Bm Bm7* Bm7 F#7 G*
a new body for yo---u to push around and pose
(for this fill only change the bass note)
D D/C# riff1 D* D** D E* E** G D /A /G /F# /E
its all about taking the ea--sy way out for you i suppose
D D/C# riff1 D* D** D E* E** G D
its all about taking the ea--sy way out for you i suppose
Alternate Version:
by ignoring the variations elliott plays on the high e-string you can play it like
that
in this case you wouldn't have to tune your high e-string to an c# just to an Eb!!
and so you could use the classic chords
it sounds good as well and its less complicated
D D/Ab /A D/B D E G
youll take ad-vantage til you think you�re being used
D D/Ab /A D/B E G
cos without an enemy your anger gets confused
Bm Bm7 F#7 G
i got stuck on the side you know i never chose
D D/C# Bm D E G D
its all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose
etc.......
