Drop D Tuning


For the verses, play the D like X5403X (like a C chord shape, just up 2 frets)
I have an X for the first string not for you to mute it but to not play it.
When in Drop D tuning, you will need to play the G like 5X0003 (like a G7 shape)


     D 
On a lark, on a whim
               C                        G                           D
I said there's two kinds of men in this world and you're neither of them
        D
And his fist cut the smoke
         C                     G                    D  
I had an eighth of a second to wonder if he got the joke
       D
In the car headed home
             C                    G                   D
She asked if I had considered the prospect of living alone
       D
With a steak held to my eye
         C                     G                      D
I had to summon the confidence needed to hear her goodbye
     C                        G                    D
And another brief chapter without any answers blew by


Chorus:
        Dsus2                     G                  Dsus2     G
And the songs that she sang in the shower are stuck in head
                     Dsus2 A              Dsus2
Like "Bring Out Your Dead", "Breakfast In Bed"
     Dsus2               G                            Dsus2       G
And experience robs me of hope that she'll make it back home
                   Dsus2  A                Dsus2
So I'm stuck on my own,    I'm stuck on my own


In a room by myself
Looks like I'm here with a guy that I judged worse than anyone else
So I pace and I pray
And I repeat the mantra's that might keep me clean for the day


Chorus 2:
And the songs that she sang in the shower all ring in my ear
Like "Wish You Were Here", how I wish you were here
And experience robs me of hope that you'll ever return
So I breathe and I burn, I breathe and I burn


Bridge:
        Bm                           A                     G
And the church bells are ringing for those who are easy to please
        Bm                           A                       G      A
And the frost on the ground probably envies the frost on the trees


Chorus 3:
And the songs she sang in the shower are stuck in my mind
Like "Yesterday's Wine", like yesterday's wine
And experience tells me that I'll never hear them again
Without thinking of them
Without thinking of them
