Chords are for two measures each. The fill above basically happens every time
there’s
a G-Em progression that isn’t under major vocals.
G Em x2
D C
G Em x2
G Em
It is a narrowing. It is a shrinking and there’s a danger of overthinking
G Em
It was everybody getting tired of drinking every night
D C
There was a little left to believe in, which is how I really knew I should be
leaving
G Em
I should be leaving… now
G Em
I should be leaving
G
We were clever then. We’d talk forever then, and the night of our invention
Em
it would never end
G
It was a parting, and there was sorrow, it was impossible to picture a
Em
tomorrow
D C
It was necessity and it was instinct and the pattern underneath it kept
repeating
D C
kept repeating, kept repeating, which is how I really knew I should be
leaving
G Em
I should be leaving… now
G Em
I should be leaving
Am C
Oh and it was everything. Oh and it was just a way to keep from waking up
G Em
alone
G Em
Which is why I had to go
