from the CD, 'Comfort in the Curves'
transcribed by, Tony Williams
key of G#
note: CD sounds like the guitar is capoed at the 1st fret
and played with standard G chord forms. However, the
chords transcribed here are actual.
Intro: (play twice) C# G#/C Bm D#/G G#
1st verse:
G# I saw you go down with your heart aflame
I ran for water but grabbed G#7 kerosene
Now, C# oh my goodness, despite my efforts
What a G# blazing mess
2nd verse:
G# I climbed in bed with my frozen feet
You felt something and threw G#7 back the sheets
So C# there I'm lying, so there your crying, how G# unfortunate
But D#/G aw, through it C# all the truth was I loved you G# best
chours:
C# Now you're holding something better
And now I'm holding old love letters and G# new regrets
The C# irony is just so glaring
Cause now I've got this torch to carry and it G# burns you bet
D#/G But aw, through it C# all the truth was I G# loved you best
Instrumental: same chords as intro only with a little Dobro mixed in.
Repete chours:
3rd verse:
C# Now toothpast and tube, it's just G#/C one of the views I Bm have
about me and you G# lately
{C#} It's cliche I know but seems G#/C apropos, if the Bm shoe fits well
I figure G# say it
C# I know it's a fact that I G#/C over reacted, Bm sometimes my
passions G# betray me
C# The changes I made as I G#/C tried to come clean; Bm you were my
bath water G# baby
Another Instrumental: this time with Dobro as lead instrument.
4th verse:
C# Now I did all the squeezing
And now I've got this real bad feeling that I G# made this mess
C# I did all the plug pulling
And now I'm high and dry, no fooling, it's my G# fault I guess
But D#/G aw, through it C# all, the truth was I G# loved you best
D#/G Aw, through it C# all the truth was
D#/G Aw, don't you C# know the truth was
D#/G Aw, don't you C# know I loved you G# best
C# You were my Bm bath water G# baby.
There you have it, friends.
