the B7 should be an E7. fantastic tab tho 😀
I wish i could listen to this for the first time agian. I was not ready for that drop
CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT THE BEAT DROP? CHILLS.
hi here’s lyrics for the second part if you cant swear in your household!!
you called me again
drunk in your benz
driving home under the influence
you scared me to death
but im wasting my breath
’cause you only listen to your stupid friends
i dont relate to you
i dont relate to you no
’cause i’d never treat me so terribly
you made me hate this city
and i dont talk trash about you on the internet
never told anyone anything bad
’cause thats just embarrassing,
you were my everything
and all that you did was make me feel so sad
so dont waste the time i dont have
and dont try to make me feel bad
i could talk about every time
that you showed up on time
but i’d have an empty line ’cause you never did
never paid any mind to my
mother or friends so i
shut ’em all out for you
’cause i was a kid
you ruined everything good
always said you were misunderstood
made all my moments your own
please, can you leave me alone
this is what i did for the strumming pattern
Intro:
[d-du-udu] then a single down strum on G7
Chorus/Verse 1/Chorus:
[d-du-udu]
on the Dm and G during “So if you really wanna know” i just do a [single down strum] then continue with [d-du-udu] in the second chorus
Instrumental/Verse 2
During the instrumental, i do [d-du-udu] twice on the C and at the end of the second one I go into a quick [dddddd] (six times) and continue that for the rest of the instrumental and entire verse 2
Verse 3:
[dd-ud-dd-ud] – sorta aggressive
i feel like this adds a lil bit of spice
Outro:
(You ruined everything good
Always said you were misunderstood) – I do a [slow single down strum] on each chord ( C, B7, Am, F)
(Made all my moments your own) – I do a double down strum [C – d d], [B7 – d d]
(Just xxxxin’ leave me alone ) – I go back to the fast down strum like verse 2 [dddddd]
Instrumental Outro:
I continue with the strumming from verse 3 [dd-ud-dd-ud]
I hope this makes sense and is helpful 🙂
Instead of B7 do E7 it sounds way better
Listening to this song for the first time will be a memory that will stay with me forever.
*wipes tears* I’m not crying, you are. Seriously tho, great tab, listened while playing this and the beat drop was like “Woah”
already? damn
OMGGG
Does anybody know the strumming pattern?
she popped off in this song
Change the B7 to E7 and for the strumming pattern
use dduudu (Verse)
use fast down strumming (chorus)
Here’s an easy and clean version I made for the second part:
strumming:
Chorus: slow D-D-U-U-D-U
Verses: slow D (pause)-D-U
Chorus:
Cmaj7
When I’m away from you
G7
I’m happier than ever
Em
Wish I could explain it better
D
I wish it wasn’t true, mmm
Verse 2:
C Em Am
You called me again, drunk in your Benz
F
Drivin’ home under the influence
C Em Am
You scared me to death but I’m wastin’ my breath
F
‘Cause you only listen to yo-our friends
C Em
I don’t relate to you
Am F
I don’t relate to you, no
C Em
‘Cause I’d never treat me this badly
Am F
You made me hate this city
Verse 3:
C Em
And I don’t say things about you on the internet
Am F
Never told anyone anything bad
C Em
That’s so embarrassing, you were my everything
Am F
And all that you did was make me-ee sad
C Em
So don’t waste the time I don’t have
Hope this helps, easy especially for kids like me who are beginners and can’t swear.
lol i did not like this update tbh
recommendations for a strumming pattern?
For verse and chorus, you may also use Cadd9 to replace C. Dmin7 instead of D, as well as G7 instead of G. Makes it sound more like the original, yk. And for bridge, you can follow what is already provided on this page :))
(Cadd9:)
A | – 0 – – |
E | – 1 – – |
C | – 0 – – |
G | – 0 – – |
(Dmin7:)
A | – 3 – – |
E | – 1 – – |
C | – 2 – – |
G | – 2 – – |
(G7:)
A | – 2 – – |
E | – 1 – – |
C | – 2 – – |
G | – 0 – – |

I love this song but I can’t play it in my mom or dads car cause there is a lot of cursing
