This is my first tab. And Im not an amzing guitar player either so bare with me.
For the verses i use D D -zick- no sound for like a sec then U
And for the chorus I use a more full on strum which I dont really have time to
write down. I might put it in later
(I was taught to call this smacking sideway motion a zick. Not sure what the proper word is)
[Verse 1]
Phone rings
Don t wanna pick it up
I m so scared
I m gonna say too much
I tip toe around your questions
Why you gotta dig so deep?
Tears fall
And the glasses break
Inside these walls
The floor boards shake
From outside
It s alright
Long as you looking from fifty feet
[Pre-Chorus]
I been trying trying
Hold my head up high
I been lying lying
Keeping it all inside
Trying not to trust you, yeah
Take another leaf, I m a book yeah yeah?
[Chorus]
I m done, I give up
I don t wanna pretend no more
That s it, so what
I ve lost a friend before
Gonna say it like it is
No more wondering what if
That ain t the way you oughta live
Cause I don t want you to love me
If you don t wanna love me for me
Cause I don t want you to love me
If you don t wan love me for me
[Verse 2]
A doll house is all that you could see
But it s so far from my reality
I got problems, I got issues
Sometimes it s all too much for me
Wrap it up with a pretty little bow
But there are some things you can t sugarcoat
Give it to you anyway
Even though it won t taste so sweet
[Pre-Chorus]
I been trying trying
Hold my head up high
I been lying lying
Keeping it all inside
Maybe I could trust you, yeah
Take another leaf, I m a book yeah yeah?
[Chorus]
I m done, I give up
I don t wanna pretend no more
That s it, so what
I ve lost a friend before
Gonna say it like it is
No more wondering what if
That ain t the way you oughta live
Cause I don t want you to love me
If you don t wanna love me for me
[Bridge]
Sick of all the fighting
All the slamming of the door
The pain, the parents, too deep you know
Step back, step back
Can you see it through my eyes?
I know, I know
Maybe a surprise
Don t wanna be perceived for something that I m not
Just wanna be accepted for the little that I got
If you could see me now in my glass house
Not ready to let you in
[Chorus]
I m done, I give up
I don t wanna pretend no more
That s it, so what
I ve lost a friend before
Gonna say it like it is
No more wondering what if
That ain t the way you oughta live
Cause I don t want you to love me
If you don t wanna love me for me
Cause I don t want you to love me
If you don t wan love me for me
