The song is a bit tricky solely because of the unusual strumming pattern and time signature.
The intro and verses in this song are in 17/8, a very weird time signature.
It helps when playing to count to 9, then count to 8, then back to 9, etc.
The bridge (I should leave it alone part) and the chorus are in regular 4/4.
Listen to the song very carefully to get the exact strumming pattern right.
During the verses, only play the Em once.
The C in the verses don t have the high e, its just x3201x.
The F is 133211.
[Verse 1]
Don t make me read your mind
You should know me better than that
It takes me too much time
You should know me better than that
You re not that much like me
You should know me better than that
We have different enemies
You should know me better than that
[Bridge]
I should leave it alone but you re not right
I should leave it alone but you re not right
[Verse 2]
Can t you write it on the wall?
You should know me better than that
There s no room to write it all
You should know me better than that
Can you turn the TV down?
You should know me better than that
There s too much crying in the sound
I should know you better than that
[Bridge]
I should leave it alone but you re not right
I should leave it alone but you re not right
[Chorus]
I should live in salt for leaving you behind
Behind Ohhhhh
[Verse 3]
Think about something so much
You should know me better than that
Start to slide out of touch
You should know me better than that
Tell yourself it s all you know
You should know me better than that
Learn to appreciate the void
You should know me better than that
[Chorus]
I should live in salt for leaving you behind
Behind Ohhhhh
I should live in salt for leaving you behind
Behind Ohhhhhh
[Instrumental]
(x2)
[Chorus]
I should live in salt for leaving you behind
Behind Ohhhhh
Repeat intro/verse chord progression once more, then ending on C.
