I just used the basics, he is strumming but I just wrote down the accents. That Bsus4 might be called something else but just for the sake of calling it something I called it Bsus4. ---> C Bsus4 E ^ EsusG C ^ Bsus4 E(hold) ^ :--------------:--2--2---:-----------:-3----:-----------:--2--2--:--------- :---1-----1--1-:--4--4---:-----------:------:--1---1--1-:--4--4--:--------- :--------------:--2--2---:-----------:------:-----------:--2--2--:--------- :---2-----2--2-:--4--4---:--2---2---2:-2----:--2---2--2-:--4--4--:--2------ :---3-----3--3-:--2--2---:--2---2---2:-2----:--3---3--3-:--2--2--:--2------ :---3-----3--3-:--2--2---:-----------:------:--3---3--3-:--2--2--:--------- This is the verse. Just keep repeating this until you get to the end of the verse where he just stays on E. In all of these E chords he adds G(1st string 3rd fret) on the off beats...listen for it.

The last two bars are not just C and D chords. The C is fingered differently. Use your fourth finger for the C, your third finger for the E and your second finger for the high C. To go up to the D from there just slide your hand up two frets and bar the second fret. I realize it would be just as easy to play a normal first position C with a first position D but this sounds better.

This is what I got out of it anyway. The chords are simple so I'll write the lead. Now, I might have made a mistake in this part, If so please message me and tell me so I can fix it. Keep playing the first two bars until the last part of the chorus. The only difference is the last three notes. end part --> :-------------------:-------------------:-------------------:------------------ :------------------0:--------0---------::-----------------0-:--------0--------- :--------0-------0--:------0------------:-------0-------0---:------0----------- :------2-------3----:----5-----------2--:-----2-------3-----:----5------------- :----2--------------:-----------2--5---::---2---------------:------------1--2-- :--0---------1------:--2------5---------:-0---------1-------:--2-------5------- Lyrics: Forward yesterday, makes me want to stay What they said was real, makes me want to steal Living under house, yes I'm living I'm a mouse All I got is time, got no meaning just a rhyme Take time with a wounded hand, cause It likes to heal Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal Take time with a wounded hand, cause it likes to heal, I like to steal I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the sun, it fades to grey) I'm half the man I used to be I'm half the man I used to be Half the man I used to be, Half the man I used to be Feeling Uninspired, think I'll start a fire Everybody run, Bobby's got a gun Think you're kind'a neat, then she tells me I'm a creep Friends don't mean a thing, guess I'll leave it up to me
