Intro: G G7 C Cm G D7 Verse: G Gmaj7 G7 C My dream girl, those eyes, that nose Cm G Am D7 My private inside joke, sign the cast on my funny bone G Gmaj7 G7 C Floral sheets on long-given-up ghosts Edim7 G E7 Am D7 G Haunt my bedroom at night and say “let’s get you home” Pre-Chorus: C G Gmaj7 G7 They say “grow up, be a man ‘cause until then you’re nothing but a short-haired girl” C G G G But come and Braille-palm-read, hold my hands, see my reason and “Goodbye cruel world” B7 Em And oh my god what’s wrong with me? Edim7 D D7 And the wife of Walter Keane whose name right now’s escaping me… That’s right, Margaret Chorus: G G7 C Dream girl come and sweep me off my knees Cm Edim7 Am D7 G I’d rather stay asleep than never see you wake up next to me Interlude: G G7 C Cm G D7 Verse: G Gmaj7 G7 C Neon lights like heat lamps in the cold Cm G Am7 D7 To incubate the shadows you can’t stitch back to your soles G Gmaj7 G7 C You seemed fine just a few days ago Edim7 G E7 Am D7 G But CO2 and fish tanks do enough to get you home Pre-Chorus: C G Gmaj7 G7 Well now you swear in your prayers telling time “Promise I’ll never have fun again C G G G If you’d stop flying” but then you start crying “never mind, you win!” B7 Em And far too late came far too soon Edim7 D D7 And the love you never made became the things you’d never do. Oh, sweet Mary! Chorus: G G7 C Dream girl come, but keep your hands off me Cm Edim7 Am D7 G Go on back to bed my love, I mean, that’s where dreams are supposed to be Interlude: G G7 C Cm G Pre-Chorus: G7 C So come on, William grow up, be a man, cause until then G Gmaj7 G7 they’re gonna treat you like you’re just a little girl C G But come and Braille-palm-read, hold my hands and you’ll see that it’s me who cries mercy while your fingers curl B7 Em And oh, are you at all like me? Edim7 D D7 Do you know what I mean? Or am I too close to see? Someone, anyone? Chorus: G G7 C Of the two things we do on our knees: Cm Edim7 Am D7 Watch me fold my hands just to crack my knuckles Outro: Em Em7 Em7 A7 Well, here’s the church, here is the steeple, open the door, see all the people Am D7 G Alright that’s enough let’s get you home G Gmaj7 G7 C Edim7 G E7 Am D7 G
if you wanna get the strumming thing going that they play in the song, use the same plucking for ‘Hey There Delilah’ by the Plain White T’s but use the chords on this tab 🙂
Transpose +2 or -3 for easier chords. 🙂
the last f c need to be switched, other than that spot on!
On the last “voice and sing along” I used the F chord then the Bb chord. I think it sounds better that way! Other than that the song is great!
Ladies!! (or gents)!!! If 0 is both too high AND low to sing go to -4!!!! it’s really easy to play and sing along to:)
For the outro, it’s F G C not F C G
This song is so sweet!!
