The Hurry and the Harm
by City and Colour
Alright,
I think I've figured this song out
I believe the acoustic guitar is tuned in a open Dsus4 chord
drop both the E and the B strings 2 frets (one full tone)
I can also write up a simple chord version if anyone is interested
D D2 Bm G D/F# E A
d|---0----0----0----0----(0)-----0----0-----|
A|---0----0----0----0----(0)-----0----0-----|
G|---7----6----7----7-----0------0----6-----|
D|---7----7----9----7-----7------2----0-----|
A|---5----5----9----5-----5------2----7-----|
D|---0----0----9----5-----4------2----7-----|
[Intro]
D, D2, Bm, G
[Verse]
D D2
Everyone, wants everything
Bm G
No matter the cost, we're longing to live in a dream
D D2
But we can't let go to all that we think we know
Bm G
This great escape, until we give up the ghost
[Chorus]
D/F# G
But why are we so worried more about the hurry
D E
And less about the harm
D/F# G
Always trying to conquer that which does not offer
D E
Anything more than a broken heart
D
I want a cause for alarm
Play another round of: D, D2, Bm, G
[Verse]
D D2
I've been robbed of simple things
Bm G
Mourning the loss and what could have been
D D2
When did I let go to all that I used to know?
Bm G
This grave mistake, has left an absence of hope
[Chorus]
D/F# G
But why are we so worried more about the hurry
D E
And less about the harm
D/F# G
Always trying to conquer that which does not offer
D E
Anything more than a broken heart
G
I want a cause for alarm
A Bm E
I want a cause for alarm
G
A cause for alarm
A Bm E
A cause for alarm
D
I'm going back to the start
D2, Bm, G
D
I'm going back to the start
