Silver Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

E When writing your hiF♯mstory,

  I will G♯malways be a footnote

G♯m A distant memory

  A warning Esign of mistakesF♯m made

  TheG♯m kind that you learn from

E This song is the bestF♯m of me

  Taking G♯mpills for solemn motive

  A better side of me, an open mEind

  For mistakeF♯ms made

  TheG♯m kind that you burn from

Chorus

E So Btake this small confession as my pF♯mrice to pay

F♯m I've never been the kind to let go

E ButB before you up and walk aF♯mway

F♯m I'm miserable without you, you know

E This Bsilver leaves me longing for F♯mgold

F♯m Second place has never carried me home

E Second place has never carried me home

Verse

(same as 1st verse)

This song is so out of key

I'm trying harder just to even

These memories of you

A warning sign of regression

The kind you never learn from

This song is the melody

Meant to show you a little more than

A better history, an open sky

Of redemption

The kind you always burn from

Chorus

E So Btake this small confession as my pF♯mrice to pay

F♯m I've never been the kind to let go

E ButB before you up and walk aF♯mway

F♯m I'm miserable without you, you know

E This Bsilver leaves me longing for F♯mgold

F♯m Second place has never carried me home

E Second place has never carried me home (home, home, home, home)

It never carried me (home, home, home, home)
