This song is so easy I’m not even going to put the chords in chart form.
If you think you’re ready to play this song, then you really should know these
chords already:
Chords:
In the first verse, when moving from F to Am, try hammering onto the Am quickly
then moving immediately to the G chord.
For all following verses, try to use a more basic strumming pattern.
The only tricky part is knowing when to and when not to sing.
Past the road to your house
That you never called home
Where they turned out the lights
Though they say you’ll never know
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
When they pumped out your guts
And filled you full of those pills
You were never quite right
Deserving all the chills
They say the worst is over
Kicked it over and ran
Then they ask what went wrong
When they turn you on again
They turn you on again.
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
Kick them right in the face
Make them wish they weren’t born
And if they bring up your name
Well they’ll say you won the war.
Baby burst in the world
Never given a chance
Then they ask what went wrong
When you never had it right
No you never had it right…
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
Bridge:
D Dsus4-slide up to 5th fret E & B only- C G D
Oh the letters they’ve dropped off
Though they say you got them all
D C G… (let ring out)
I finally figured out some things you’ll never know.

Take back your life
Let me inside
Well find the door
If you care, if you care to anymore.
I remember running through the wet grass
Falling a step behind
Both of us never tiring
Desperately wanting
