Biography:
John-Allison Weiss (formerly Allison Weiss) is an American guitar player and singer-songwriter from Brooklyn, NY.
Weiss first picked up a guitar at age 14 in an attempt to become a punk rock star and impress their high school crush, and though the teenage romance died after one short month, their passion for music lived on.
After moving to Athens, GA in 2005, Weiss spent the next five years in and out of various pseudo-relationships which fueled the fire for one infectious breakup song after another.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This song is really nice and chordy and rather fun to play around a campfire or
something like that. It's not the most popular song she's written but I really
enjoy it quite a lot. SO MANY FEELS. Anyway.
Capo 3, in D# maj. You're going to have to know some basic finger-picking to play
this song. If you really want to, you can use the flick and slap technique, which
is very nicely explained here:

I feel it adds a good percussive touch, but it's not necessary. Other than that,
though, this song only has a few changes that you'll get used to quickly with a
bit of practice.

A few more notes, there are little hammer-ons she does on C, Am, and G during the
verses. If you listen to the song they're rather prominent. All you've got to do
is unfret that specific string (for C and A it's the D string and for G it's the A
string) and hammer back on in eighth notes. Another thing, during the verses
there's this little chromatic line that moves up a fret from the G chord to the G#
note, then rests on Am. All you have to do is move your finger up the E string
from fret 3 to fret 4 on beats 1 and 3 before making the switch.
(Intro) C w/ hammer-ons x4
(Verse 1)
F C
I forgot what it felt like to feel so alive
F G (G#) Am
So I'm packing my suitcase and changing my mind
F G Am G F
I forgot what it's like to look the things you want right between the eyes
G (here w/ hammer-ons)
It's never been so hard to say goodbye
F C
I'm back to the basics and waiting for signs
F G (G#) Am
I'm praying for patience and falling behind
F G Am G F
It's not the way I meant to be, it's just how I'm designed
F G C
I get so tired of running out of time
(Chorus)
C E F C
I'm missing out on all the places I could go
F C F G (G#)
The people I could know, the nights so not alone
Am C E Am
We'll never make it and it wasn't meant to be
G F G C
But I'll wait if you’ll wait for me
(Verse 2)
F C
I'm trying to remember your face in my hands
F G (G#) Am
I wanted adventure, you met my demands
F G Am G F
I told myself the day I left, “I want it but I can't”
F G
I fell for something far away again
F C
I guess that it's pointless, but I mean what I say
F G (G#) Am G F
I never expected through all this time that I could be okay
G Am G F
Yeah, all the things you do to me, the promise and the pain
G C
I wish with all my heart that I could stay
(Chorus)
