Sad Song  Christina Perri

Hi. This is an ear-transcribed fingerpicking of Sad Song - Christina Perri.
Capo: 4th fret
Pay attention in the dynamic of the notes (piano and mezzo forte).
The higher notes and 1st bass are often mf.
This "balance" marks the rhythm. (This serves to the strumming too.)

(Chorus)
I'm so s[G]orry, it's not l[Em]ike me

(Verse)
(Chorus)
I'm so s[G]orry, it's not l[Em]ike me
It's ma[Am]turity that I[D]'m lacking
So don[G]'t, don't let me[Em] go
Just to let me [Am]know that gr[D]owing up goes slow
(Bridge)
All[E] the rules are meant to[Am] bend
And you swore you were my f[D]riend
Now I have to start all [G]over ag[Em]ain
Ca[E]use no one's going to take your[Am] place
And I'm scared we'll never s[D]ave all the pieces
of l[G]ove we m[Am]ade[D]
(Chorus)
I'm so s[G]orry, it's not l[Em]ike me
It's ma[Am]turity that I[D]'m lacking
So don[G]'t, don't let me[Em] go
Just to let me [Am]know that I ca[D]n slip and fall
And yo[G]u wont let me[Em] go
Just let me [Am]know that gr[D]owing up goes slow.
[G]I'm so sorry, it[Em]'s not like me
It's ma[Am]turity that I[D]'m lacking
So don[G]'t, don't let me[Em] go
Just to let me [Am]know that gr[D]owing up goes slow
