Straylight Run – The Words We Say (Chords)
Intro:
e|----------2-0-----------2-5-4----------|

G|------2---------2-0-------------4------|
D|----0---------------4-------------6----| (x2)
A|------------0--------------------------|
E|--------------------2------(0)---------|
Note this is obviously not played on guitar in the actual version – and to play the last
of the intro essentially play a D chord but slid up 2 frets so you’re playing 454xxx –
can play the bottom E open optionally
VERSE 1:
We’ll wait in line for most our lives.
Get out, get in, get on with it.
We always hurt the ones we never really love.
We always think we’re all alone, we’re always...
Wrong... We’re always...
Wrong...
CHORUS:
The words we say
Take diff’rent shapes.
INTRUMENTAL
(x2)
VERSE 2:
We’ll live and die with all the things we recognize.
We’ll count our sins. Stop now. Begin.
We know the words are better left unspoken when
They’ll be right in to tear the heads off of us.
Oooh... tear the heads off of us.
Oooh...
(CHORUS)
Bridge:
And you can only do so much
To try and get your point across...
(x4)
ENDING:
No Guitar – but essentially it is still playing over the same chords which I have but in
(not actually played on the record – but if you want to play them till the end then
they are)
(D) (A) (F#m) (E) (D)
I’ll live and die with all the things I recognize.
(A) (F#m) (E) (D)
I’ll count our sins Stop now Begin
