Hi, first of all I want to say that I took the chords from the other tab that is
on the site, but I made a few changes using some videos of Elliott performing the
song live.
"weird" chords:
C#m6: x42350
D: x54030
D#6 (just play this once quick between D and Em): x6x5xxx
Em: x75000
C/G: 332010
Fmaj7: x33210
Em*: 022000
D/F#: 2x0230
Note: On the Am /G thing Elliott puts his pinky on the 6th string 3rd fret for
a second and then he goes back to the regular Am
C C#m6 D D#6 Em
You'll make the scene like you always do
C C#m6 D D#6 Em
Going up stream, down the avenue
C C#m6 D D#6 Em
To fuck some trophy boy that you'll win tonight at the bar
C/G G Am
So bad, so far
Fmaj7 C
You make him sad shooting star
When it was me I was momentarily proud
Drunk of dreams now I'm glad I didn't say out loud
You said you'd be for real but I don't believe that you are
C/G G Am
So bad, so far
Fmaj7 Am Em*
You make me sad shooting star
Dm G C /B Am
You're distant and cold and a sight to behold
Am /G F
Everybody just sighs
Dm G C /B Am
But no one gets on with you very long
Am /G D/F# F
Cos you don't feel bad when you lie
I'm going to sleep now going back to find square one
Square two be where I can deal with the shit you've just done
It won't be soon, say the least it's gonna be hard
C/G G Am
So bad, so far
Fmaj7 Am
Your love is sad shooting star
Fmaj7 C
Your love is sad shooting star
