Here is Too Bad, So Sad by Metric, as written for solo
acoustic guitar.
As you might imagine, solo acoustic is a major
deviation from the synthpop sound that is employed by
Metric nowadays. So I've had to make some changes to
the chords for it to sound good.
Gm: 35533x
Bb: 11333x
Dm/A: x0023x
Cadd9: x3203x
F: 133211
C: x32010
Dm: xx0231
Intro: Dm
Gm
Take me out of this state I'm in
Bb
Go somewhere I've never been
Dm/A
Got something trapped inside
Cadd9
Still alive, where's that paradise?
Gm
I thought by now I'd find
Bb
Rough justice is a long lifeline
Dm/A
Back and forth between the desert and the sea
Cadd9
Who I was and I will always be
F C Dm
(Oh yeah, woo-hoo!)
F C Dm
(Too bad, woo-hoo!)
F C
(So sad, woo-hoo!)
Gm
Get me out of this state I'm in
Bb
When I spiral down, it's a vile spin
Dm/A
Got something I can't hide
Cadd9
Still alive, it's an overwhelming drive
Gm
To prevail and get out of this jail
Bb
Dust in my eyes and a tear in my sail
Dm/A
Back and forth between the desert and the sea
Cadd9
Who I was and I will always be
F C Dm
(Oh yeah, woo-hoo!)
F C Dm
(Too bad, woo-hoo!)
F C Dm x2
(So sad, woo-hoo!)
Dm Dm Dm Dm
Gm
Take me out cause I'm all alone
Bb
Hair undone, despair unknown
Dm/A
Got something trapped inside
Cadd9
Still alive, it's a momentary ride
Gm
I've been on a thousand years too long
Bb
A thousand years too late for everything that's wrong
Dm/A
Back and forth between the desert and the sea
Cadd9
Who I was and I will always be
F C Dm
(Oh yeah, woo-hoo!)
F C Dm
(Too bad, woo-hoo!)
F C Dm x2
(So sad, woo-hoo!)
