Father John Misty - Generic Pop Song #3
This is a piano backed song so I didn't bother with a strum pattern. Listen to the song
here to get an idea of the rhythm (and the timing of the "oh's"). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swRkBEDmaqk
The original song is in the key of F so the chords are written out as such (standard tuning).
If you want easier chord fingerings then hit the transpose button to -5 and put a capo on 5 (making
the chords in "C".
Alternatively if you've been playing other FJM songs in Josh's typical tuning (DGCFAD) then transpose to +2
and play it open.
Note: The Em7b5 chord may also just be Em(b5). Here's a couple variations that work:

No more hands to the sky
Am Dm
No more knees on the floor
Dm (1 Bar)
[Chorus]
Bb F
All I owe you is my love
Dm Em7b5
Still here for you if it's still enough
Bb F
One thing is certain, the world don't need us
Dm
So forget what they say, it's not the same
Em7b5
We'll try again and I'll die that way

[Chorus 2]
Bb F
All I owe you is my self
Dm Em7b5
Every other person is just someone else

Give me your sins when they are giving you hell
Dm
I'll look the other way, God don't explain
Em7b5
Look at my face and let it fade
[Break]
