Intro:
Am / Am+ / Am6 / Am+
Am / Am+ / Am6 / Am+
Verse 1:
Am Am/G Am/F
I woke up with the war in my head
E7sus4 E7
An old man's grumble, and an extra space in the bed
Am Am/G Am/F E7sus4
And if ole' John Prine, could sing the next line
E7
'Bout something that can make me smile
Bridge:
Dm G7
I'm gonna have to be content to
E/G# Am Am(maj7)
Stare at your baby photos till it makes sense
Dm G7
And were you ever mine, anyway?
E/G#
Speak up as I drop away
Chorus:
A
I wrote down what I think
Dmaj7
On the head of a matchstick
A
Wrote it all short and sweet
Dmaj7
All that made sense to me
F#m
Burn six thousand miles
Bm
Sorry for all the times
Dmaj7
I just can't add up all the songs
(Repeat intro)
To find the damage we done
Verse 2:
I fought for you like a doll from a tree
I keep a straight stiched face
As the ground makes a bed for me
I keep my eye where I fell it sends no replies
Bridge 2:
You can run so long from sadness
That you're never at home for the fun
I can't make excuses for the short-hand abuses
Thank god it ain't a sunday night
Chorus:
I wrote down what I think
On the head of a matchstick
Wrote it all short and sweet
All that made sense to me
I burnt six thousand miles
Sorry for all the times
I just can't add up the songs
To find the damage...
I wrote down what I think
On the head of a matchstick
I wrote it all short and sweet
All that made sense to me
I'm burning out in the lights
Sorry for all the times
I just can't see how it comes
To find the damage we done
The damage we done
The damage we done
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official YOU AM I tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
