State champs critical acoustic cover
I’m not saying this is perfect, I don’t think it sounds too bad.
Think there may be some timing issues to work out, because there's 2 guitars.
But this should be good for basic chords to start at, to at least give you an idea.
Comments and feedback welcome.
Capo not necessary but it sounded OK with capo 2, guess it depends on your voice if you’re singing it as well.
Enjoy
Chords:
A - 002200
E - 022100
C# - 046600
B - 024400
Tuning: standard (EADGBe)
Intro:
A
A E A E A E C# B A E C# B
Verse 1
A
I’ve always wanted what I can’t have
A
And I've been making it a note to feel what’s left to feel
and put my shoulder to the wheel
E
Everything about me used to have a mind of its own
A
I've got what’s left of me, some positivity
and no more waiting on a dial tone
C#
because I've loved and lost a cause
B
and that’s enough to never let you forget me
Chorus
A E C# B
we've been gone for too long to see this happen again
A E C#
Then again, you’re too gone to say that’s not what you meant
A E C# B
you’re crying, I’m not trying
A E C# B
I won’t let this life get so critical
Verse 2
A
Remember the time you asked me to let go?
A
Where did you want me to begin?
Take a stand
E
You know you haven’t got what you came for
A
And recently, my counter seems to be the place to be at night
E
You were right, I must be wrong for wanting you to know
I let go of the old
C#
And you don’t deserve to see where it leads me to be
A
And doesn't that make you question why we were here in the first place?
E
We were here in the first place
Chorus
A E C# B
we've been gone for too long to see this happen again
A E C#
Then again, you’re too gone to say that’s not what you meant
A E C# B
you’re crying, I’m not trying
A E C# B
I won’t let this life get so critical
Bridge
A E
I’m like a boy lost in a city
B
Not wanting to be found
A E B
everything is a sight to see until you come back around (You come back around)
A E
I’m like a boy lost in a city
B
Not wanting to be found
A E B
everything is a site to see until you come back around
Chorus (Strum once)
A E B
we've been gone for too long to see this happen again
A E B
Then again, you’re too gone to say that’s not what you meant
A E B
you’re crying, I’m not trying
A E C# B
I won’t let this life get so critical
Solo
A E C# B x2
Chorus
A E C# B
you’re crying, I’m not trying
A E C# B
I won’t let this life get so critical
