Intro: B Verse 1: E Gb I was supposed to be sent away Ebm Abm But they forgot to come and get me E Gb I was a functioning alcoholic B Abm 'Til nobody noticed my new aesthetic E Gb Ebm All of this to say, I hope you're okay Abm But you're the reason E Gb And no one here's to blame B Abm But what about your quiet treason? Chorus: E Gb And for a fortnight there we were Ebm Abm Forever running 'til you sometimes ask about E Gb The web and now you're in my backyard turned into good neighbors B Your wife waters flowers Abm I want to kill her Verse 2: E Gb Ebm Abm All my mornings are Monday stuck in an endless February E Gb B Abm I took the miracle move on drug, the effects were temporary E Gb Ebm Abm And I love you, it's ruining my life -And I love you, it's ruining my life- E Gb B I touched you for only a fortnight -I touched you- Abm But I touched you Chorus: E Gb And for a fortnight there we were Ebm Abm Forever running 'til you sometimes ask about E Gb The web and now you're in my backyard turned into good neighbors B Your wife waters flowers Abm I want to kill her E Gb And for a fortnight there we were Ebm Abm Together running 'til you sometimes come and tug my sweater E Gb Now you're at the mailbox turned into good neighbors B Abm My husband is cheating, I want to kill him Bridge: E Gb Ebm Abm I love you, it's ruining my life, I love you, it's ruining my life E Gb B Abm I touched you for only a fortnight, I touched you, I touched you E Gb Ebm Abm I love you, it's ruining my life, I love you, it's ruining my life E Gb B Abm I touched you for only a fortnight, I touched you, I touched you Outro: E Gb I call you up but you won't pick up Ebm Abm Another fortnight lost in America E Gb Move to Florida, buy the car you want B Abm But it won't start up 'til you touch, touch, touch me E Gb I call you up but you won't pick up Ebm Abm Another fortnight lost in America E Gb Move to Florida, buy the car you want B Abm B But it won't start up 'til you touch, touch, touch you
I have no idea how to do an e, like my hands are too small ☹️
On the very last line, I like to add a C on “favor”. This song makes me sad but happy at the same time <3
Practice ‘E’ and you’ll get MUCH MUCH better at it. Trust me. I practice this so much that ‘E’ is really easy now. If you don’t know it very well I recomend my method. You can always slow down that part of the song.
DDU UDU DDU UDU Play that for every cord except for G and C endings. Sorry if that’s confusing just watch Elise Ucklands video for more help!
For everyone saying they can’t do the E chord, I promise that if you keep practicing you’ll get it! I was CONVINCED that I couldn’t do one, but after a few weeks of trying to get it, I can say that I can do it now! It still takes me longer to switch to that chord than others, but I’m assuming that’ll get easier, too. Don’t give up, peeps <3
instead of E, do E7 SOUNDS SO GOOOD
Here’s an alternate for E!
G-4
C-4
E-4
A-2
just me who does a d-d-u-d-d after the first chorus with my hand covering the strings????? does that in the actual song x
for when she sing the last line of the verse, is go “I’m not your party favor”
F G C instead of whats written and i think it sounds better.
for the pre-chorus, i like to pluck the12th and 10th frets on the a string to replicate what it’s doing in the song.
also, @Say what? everyone who can’t do the e chord: literally just bar the 4th fret and put your pinkie/ring finger on the a string of the 7th fret.
