The song is played with a piano, so don't expect much, and try to play with
the chords to make it sound right..
The A-E5-D5 in the 1st part could be something like this:
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|----6-------------|
A|---7---77-5-------|
E|-5---6------------|
or
e|------------------|
B|------------------|
G|------------------|
D|----6-------------|
A|---7---77-5-------|
E|-5---5------------|
which sounds better than playing just plain chords.
Intro: Play the above twice -.-
1st Part:
A E5
I opened my eyes
D5 A E5 D5
While you were kissing me once more than once
A E5 D5 A E5D5
And you looked as sincere as a dog
A E5 D5 A E5 D5
Just as sincere as a dog does,
A E5 D5
E5 D5
When it's the food on your lips with which it's in love
2nd Part: (Mess with the chords
C B
I bet you could never tell
C A5
That I knew you didn't know me that well
G (Struck Once)
It is my fault you see
F (Struck Once)
You never learned that much from me
Chorus:
C B C G
Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine
C E? F G
You were always good for rhyme
Am E? C
And from the first to the last time
Dm C
The sign says stop
Dm C
But we went on whole hearted it ended bad
Am G (quick transition) C
But I love what we started it says stop
Dm C
But we went on whole hearted it ended bad
Am G (quick transition)
But I love what we started
1st Part:
A E5
I took off my glasses
D5 A E5 D5
While you were yelling at me once more than once
A E5 D5 A E5 D5
So as not to see you see me react
A E5 D5 A
D5
Should've put 'em, should've put 'em on again
A E5 D5 A
E5 D5
So I could see you see me sincerely yelling back
2nd Part:
C B
I bet your fortress face
C A5
Belied your fort of lace
G (Struck Once)
It is by the grace of me
F (Struck Once)
You never learned what I could see
Chorus:
C B C G
Oh you silly stupid pastime of mine
C E? F G
You were always good for rhyme
Am E? C
And from the first to all the lasts times
Dm C
All the signs said stop
Dm C
But we went on whole hearted it ended bad
Am G (quick transition) C
But I love what we started it says stop
Dm C
But we went on whole hearted it ended bad
Am G (quick transition)
But I love what we started
