My Wrecking Ball Chords

My Wrecking Ball
 
Capo 4 (all chords relative)
 
 
Great song off the new album.
 
I play the C as a C/G and the G as a technically a G6add11 below in the diagram.
 
Play the Fmaj7 in the verses and chorus with your thumb on the bass note (see chord diagram).
 
Sounds good if you add a few embellishments such as hammer ons etc.

[Intro]
 
Fadd9 (only strum last 4 strings)
 
 
[Verse]
 
Fmaj7                           C
Driving through the streets tonight
  G                       Am
It's hot I've got the windows down
 
 
Fmaj7                   C                       G
I wish I could call you I wish you were still around
Fmaj7                   C
Nothing much left in the tank
G                         Am
Somehow this thing still drives
Fmaj7                         C                 G
It forgot what it needed but somehow still survives
 
 
[Bridge]
 
   Am       Am/B     C          Fmaj7           G
And all the walls we built they must come down
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Fmaj7
Hey, You're my wrecking ball 
         C              G             Fmaj7
won't you come and maybe knock me down
Fmaj7
Hey, You're my wrecking ball 
         C              G             Fmaj7
won't you come and maybe knock me down
 
 
Fmaj7
Hey, You're my wrecking ball 
         C               G
won't you come and knock me down,
         C          Fmaj7
come and knock me down, 
C                G              Fadd9 (hold)
come and knock me down tonight
 
 
[Verse]
 
Fmaj7                C
Lying in the bed at night
  G                       Am
Feeling like I'm somebody else
 
Fmaj7                      C                            G
My thoughts inside my head get lost inside the haunted house
 
Fmaj7                C
Everyone I used to know
 G                        Am
Left their dreams by the door
 
Fmaj7                      C                            G
I accidentally kick em thats how I can tell you're still not sure
 
 
[Bridge]
 
   Am       Am/B     C          Fmaj7           G
And all the walls we built they rise and they fall
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Fmaj7

Fmaj7
Hey, You're my wrecking ball 
         C          G            Fmaj7

         C              G
