Were Ok

“We’re OK”- The Rescues

Transcribed by Robin Young

Notes: A-7(no5,#13) contains the notes A,C,F#,G. It could be written many different

ways, but this seemed the most accurate to me.

Also, for the first section, I’ve written the implied chords- they don’t really come in

until the last line of the first verse.

Additionally, many of these chords are played without the thirds.

INTRO: C5 C5(add13)

VERSE 1:

Desert sand fills up your boots

You promised not to run

California won’t grow roots

A-7(no5,#13)

They burn up in the sun

VERSE 2:

I’m lost, but I’m not afraid

So what if nothing’s taking hold?

All the plans that you’ve made

A-7(no5,#13)

Let ‘em go

CHORUS:

Falling down in the dirt, we’re OK

We are tired, we are hurt, we’re OK

Crashing cars, dying stars

I can love you like you are

Hit the wall, have to crawl

G(add11)/B

Even if we lose it all

We’re OK

VERSE 3:

Torn dress, broken heart

Stumble to the ground

Feel the eyes rip you apart

A-7(no5,#13)

They try to take you down

Oh, they’ll never break us down

(CHORUS)

BRIDGE:

I know you don’t believe it

Sometimes I don’t believe it

The gavel will fall, don’t matter at all

You’re the one you gotta forgive

CHORUS/OUTRO:

Falling down in the dirt, we’re OK

We are tired, we are hurt, we’re OK

Crashing cars, dying stars

I can love you like you are

Hit the wall, have to crawl

G(add11)/B

Even if we lose it all

Sirens wail, empty sail

Not enough cups to bail

Bad luck, getting good

G(add11)/B

You don’t want it like you should

Empty out your bank account

You know you can live without

Hit the wall, have to crawl

G(add11)/B

Even if we lose it all

F G A- G(add11)/B

We’re OK

We’re OK
