Intro: Dm F C Bb Dm F We clawed, we chained our hearts in vain C Bb We jumped, never asking why Dm F We kissed, I fell under your spell C Bb a love no one could deny Pre-Chorus: Bb Dm Don’t you ever say I just walked away F Bb I will always want you Bb Dm I can’t live a lie, running for my life F Bb I will always want you Chorus: F I came in like a wrecking ball C Dm I never hit so hard in love Bb F All I wanted was to break your walls C Dm Bb All you ever did was wreck me Dm Bb Yeah, you wreck me Dm F I put you high up in the sky C Bb And now, you’re not coming down Dm F It slowly turned, you let me burn C Bb And now, we’re ashes on the ground Pre-Chorus: Bb Dm Don’t you ever say I just walked away F Bb I will always want you Bb Dm I can’t live a lie, running for my life F Bb I will always want you Chorus: F I came in like a wrecking ball C Dm I never hit so hard in love Bb F All I wanted was to break your walls C Dm Bb All you ever did was wreck me F I came in like a wrecking ball C Dm Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung Bb F Left me crouching in a blaze and fall C Dm Bb All you ever did was wreck me Dm Bb Yeah, you wreck me Bridge: Bb Dm I never meant to start a war F I just wanted you to let me in Am And instead of using force Bb I guess I should’ve let you in Dm I never meant to start a war F I just wanted you to let me in Am I guess I should’ve let you in Bb Dm Don’t you ever say I just walked away F Bb I will always want you Chorus: F I came in like a wrecking ball C Dm I never hit so hard in love Bb F All I wanted was to break your walls C Dm Bb All you ever did was wreck me F I came in like a wrecking ball C Dm Yeah, I just closed my eyes and swung Bb F Left me crouching in a blaze and fall C Dm Bb All you ever did was wreck me Dm Bb Yeah, you wreck me Dm Bb Yeah, you wreck me
If you’re having trouble switching from the riff to the main chords here’s a riff that could work:
A | 0————0————-|-0——————————–|
E | ——1————1——-|———-1—————–1—-|
C | –0——0——0——0-|——0——–0–1–3———|
G |——————————|———————————0|
Hope it helps
i think an F at the very end sounds good
I think it’ll be better to play:
A|——————————————————————————————————|
E|—————1———————1——————-1————————1——3——|
C|———0———0———0———0———0———0————1———————|
G|—2———————2——————-2———————3—————–————|
Correction to the chording – the Dbm should be Bbm – it’s a minor 4th (transposing the key, rather than a major 4th – given that the root of this song if F).
Other than that – thanks for writing this out. It’s a lot of fun to play.
It excites me that one of the best songs EVER is on the top 10! however, I have the Ukulele Guide to radiohead and the chords in this are a little off, but it still works.
I think, in intro, the part of 13th fret, I think it can still be changed to a note in 10th fret of G String and it sounds better
I think that transposed +2 it’s better because the intro riff can be played again at the end of the chorus as it is in the song. It can be played within the chord G and it sounds great when played in between the song.
Thank you!
Great resource
E
would recommend g em c d d g instead imo
