UKULELE CHORDS

Verse:
C       F               Am
I never thought I'd die alone
                F                  C
I laughed the loudest who'd have known?
              F              Am
I trace the cord back to the wall
                  F                          C
No wonder it was never plugged in at all
           F            Am
I took my time, I hurried up
                 F                  C
The choice was mine I didn't think enough
          F            Am
I'm too depressed to go on
           F               C
You'll be sorry when I'm gone

Chorus:
C          Dm              Am
I never conquered, rarely came
         F                 C
16 just held such better days
          Dm            Am
Days when I still felt alive
            F               C
We couldn't wait to get outside
                Dm             Am
The world was wide, too late to try
             F               C
The tour was over we'd survived
             Dm             Am
I couldn't wait till I got home
              F                C
To pass the time in my room alone

Verse:
C         F               Am
I never thought I'd die alone
              F                 C
Another six months I'll be unknown
              F               Am
Give all my things to all my friends
                   F               C
You'll never step foot in my room again
                F             Am
You'll close it off, board it up
               F                     C
Remember the time that I spilled the cup
          F            Am
Of apple juice in the hall
             F                   C
Please tell mom this is not her fault

Chorus:
C         Dm              Am
I never conquered, rarely came
         F                 C
16 just held such better days
           Dm              Am
Days when I still felt alive
            F               C
We couldn't wait to get outside
                F                Am
The world was wide, too late to try
             F               C
The tour was over we'd survived
             F               Am
I couldn't wait till I got home
              F                C
To pass the time in my room alone

Chorus:
C          Dm              Am
I never conquered, rarely came
             F              C
tomorrow holds such better days
             Dm              Am
Days when I can still feel alive
                 F             C
When I couldn't wait to get outside
                Dm              Am
The world is wide, the time goes by
              F              C
The tour is over, I've survived
         Dm              Am
I can't wait till I get home
              F               C
To pass the time in my room alone

If u want a clean version, I sing “you might never get a chance to stay beside me to the end”, “kiss my lips goodbye”, and “don’t blow up my phone at 3 am” 🙂

Instead of ending on the last ‘C’ chord, I do one more strum of the ‘F’ chord and I think it wraps the song up quite nicely 🙂

celeste

ends well on a single F strum

Hi I liked this song a lot and i played it on my ukulele just then today.

Still so grateful to Ukutabs for publishing the chords to so many grey songs such as this one!

It’s definately one of the best songs by Meghan Trainor’s songs but it’s by far my favourite!!!

The band currently consists of bassist and vocalist Mark Hoppus, drummer Travis Barker, and guitarist and vocalist Matt Skiba. Blink-182 is considered a key group in the development of pop punk; the band’s combination of pop melodies with fast-paced punk rock featured a more radio-friendly accessibility than prior bands except for Green Day and The Offspring.
