Intro: F#m Dsus2 Esus4 - E- Esus4 - E (listen for the strumming pattern)
Verse 1:
[F#m]i was only looking for a shortcut h[Dsus2]ome[Esus4]
but it's c[E]omplicated
[Esus4]so complic[E]ated
[F#m]somewhere in this city is a road i kn[Dsus2]ow [Esus4]
where we could make it[E]
[Esus4]but maybe there's no making i[E]t no[Dsus2]w
Chorus:
[A]too long we've been denying
[E]now we're both tired of trying
[F#m]we hit a wall and we can't g[Dsus2]et over it
[A]nothing to relive
it's w[E]ater under the bridge
you s[F#m]aid it, i get it
i guess it [Dsus2]is what it is
Verse 2: same as verse 1
i was only trying to bury the pain
but i made you cry and i can't stop the crying
was only trying to save me
but i lost you again
now there's only lying
wish i could say it's only me
Chorus 2: same as previous chorus
[A]too long we've been denying
[E]now we're both tired of trying
[F#m]we hit a wall and we can't g[Dsus2]et over it
[A]nothing to relive
it's w[E]ater under the bridge
you s[F#m]aid it, i get it
i guess it [Dsus2]is what it is
Bridge:
[Dsus2]here it comes ready or not
we b[E]oth found out it's not how we thought
F#m Bm C#5(just 1 strum)
that it would be, how it would be
[Dsus2]if the time could turn us around
what [E]once was lost may be found
F#m Bm C#5(just 1 strum)
for you and me, for you and me
Solo: Same as intro
Last Chorus: same as before
[A]too long we've been denying
[E]now we're both tired of trying
[F#m]we hit a wall and we can't g[Dsus2]et over it
[A]nothing left to relive
it's [E]water under the bridge
you s[F#m]aid it, i get it
Dsus2 (keep for 2 bars)
i guess it is what it is
[F#m]i was only looking for a shortcut h[Dsus2]ome[Esus4]
but it's c[E]omplicated
[Esus4]so complicated[E]
Hope it's right! Enjoy!
