Red Eye Chords

Almost all the chords during the verses and during the bridge should be played just as the first and the
third of the chord. See the strum pattern for the synchopated chord changes during the verses. The G falls on
the 'and' of beat 3 and the F falls on the 'and' of beat 4. The F carries into the second measure and then 
the
riff starts over with C on beat 1 of the third measure.
 
 
[Verse 1]
                         C    G
   You took the red eye home
F                        C    G
   It was your quickest option
F                  C    G
   You were all alone
F                   C      G     F
   But that never bothered you
 
 
[Verse 2]
F                           C    G
   I kept the lights turned on
F                          C    G
   I swear this house is haunted
F                            C    G
   There's something in the walls
F                  C    G    F
   When I'm all alone
 
 
[Chorus]
          F
Why did I come here?
            C
Why are you with me?
                  Am
Are you trying to kill me?
        G
Did you miss me?
            F                   C
You only come 'round when I'm untethered
               Am               G
But you fit me well like an old sweater
 
 
[Verse 3]
                     C    G
I had to bite my tongue
F                  C     G
   It was my only option
F                             C    G
   My mouth filled up with blood
F                   C      G
   But you kept on talking
F                       C             G  F
   Cause I don't open up, I just push it down
                  C                G     F
Might not work forever, but it works for now
                    C                  G  F
What's the point in even trying to let it out?
                  C             G     F
What's the use in weighing both of us down?
 
 
[Chorus]
          F
But if it helps you
          C
I can try better
               Am                 G
We can both pretend we'll live forever
             F                        C
What can I tell you that you don't remember
                 Am                 G
Everything we've done, we've done together
 
 
(Swing feel for bridge and outro, chords are all half measures now)
 
[Bridge]
     C           Am
If I could get a word
        G            C
I would tell you, my love
       Am           C            G         C
That I wish I could change who I am, who I was
       C            Am               G           C
And it goes without saying, but I'll say it, I'm done
              Am            C        G         C
There's still blood on my shirt from biting my tongue
 
 
[Outro]
     C           Am
If I could get a word
        G            C
I would tell you, my love
       Am           C            G         C
That I wish I could change who I am, who I was
       C            Am           G             C
But it goes without saying, I'll hate that I'm done
              Am            C        G         C
There's still blood on my shirt from biting my tongue
        Am            C        G         C
There's blood on my shirt from biting my tongue
        Am            C        G         C
There's blood on my shirt from biting my tongue
