The Way I Tend To Be Tabulatur von Frank Turner

INTRO  x4
C  G  A  F 

VERSE
F                       C
Some mornings I pray for evening,
G                 F
For the day to be done.
F                  C
Some summer days I hide away
G                    F 
And pray for rain to come.
F                      C
It turns out hell will not be found
G                F
Within the fires below,
F                     C
But in making do and muddling through
G                        F   A     G    G
When you've nowhere else to go.

CHORUS
F             C     G 
But then I remember you,
        F             C                     G
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
    F           C     G
And if you remembered me,
          F                C             G
You could save me from the way I tend to be.

VERSE (same as verse 1)
Some days I wake up dazed my dear,
And I don't know where I am.
I've been running now so long I'm scared
I've forgotten how to stand.
I stand alone in airport bars
And gather thoughts to think:
That if all I had was one long road
It could drive a man to drink.


CHORUS
But then I remember you,
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
And if you remembered me,
You could save me from the way I tend to be.


 
BRIDGE  (play muted and fast)
Am7          G/B   C        F             G        Am7         G/B 
Because I've said I love you so many times that the words kinda die in my
C
Mouth.
Am7            G/B      C         F         G         Am7        G/B
And I meant it each time with each beautiful woman but somehow it never
      C
Works out.
Am7       G/B       C          F              G             Am7    G/B
You stood apart in my calloused heart, and you taught me and here's what I
C
Learned:
Am7          C         F                   G        Am7 G/B       
That love is about the all the changes you make and not just three small 
C
words.


CHORUS
And then I catch myself
Catching your scent on someone else
In a crowded space
And it takes me somewhere I cannot quite place.

But then I remember you,
And the way you shine like truth in all you do.
And if you remembered me,
You could save me from the way I tend to be.
