Hits Different Acoustic Live Chords

Originally adapted from a video that was taken down, but there are other examples still up. It's mostly an
Axis progression but the timing can be tricky because the singing can be fast.
 
This works really well as a solo acoustic song.
 
Standard tuning. Capo on 4 (adjust to suit your voice). Actual key is E, played as if in C.
Very easy to play ... pretty challenging to sing and play (espeically the bridge!)

Here's a video of the bridge. Hopefully it stays up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqBtnk-CwHE
That video also covers the tricky verse-3-to-chorus transiion where she skips a line to give herself room
to really belt out "away."
 
 
[Intro]
C F Am G
C F Am G
 
[Verse 1]
C           F           Am     G
I washed my hands of us at the club
C           F         Am      G
You made a mess of me
C           F             Am       G
I pictured you with other girls in love
C             F           Am       G
Then threw up on the street
C                  F       Am       G
Like waiting for a bus that never shows
C                  F       Am       G
You just start walkin' on
C              F         Am        G
They say that if it's right, you know
C     F
Each bar plays our song
Am            G
Nothing has ever felt so wrong
 
[Chorus]
C
Oh, my, love is a lie
F
Shit my friends say to get me by
C
It hits different
F
It hits different this time
Am
Catastrophic blues
G                             F
Movin' on was always easy for me to do
F
It hits different
G                  C
It hits different 'cause it's you
 
[Verse 2]
C          F               Am              G
I used to switch out these Kens, I'd just ghost
C          F               Am              G
Rip the band-aid off and skip town likе an asshole outlaw
C          F              Am          G
Freedom felt like summеr then on the coast
C                     F             Am            G
Now the sun burns my heart and the sand hurts my feelings
C                 F                      Am          G
And I never don't cry (And I never don't cry) at the bar
C          F               Am                       G
Yeah, my sadness is contagious (My sadness is contagious)
C          F                 Am            G
I slur your name 'til someone puts me in a car
C          F                 Am            G
I stopped receiving invitations
 
[Chorus]
C
Oh, my, love is a lie
F
Shit my friends say to get me by
C
It hits different
F
It hits different this time
Am
Catastrophic blues
G                             F
Movin' on was always easy for me to do
F
It hits different
G                  C
It hits different 'cause it's you
 
 
[Bridge]
C            F                     Am
I find the artifacts, cried over a hat
            G
Cursed the space that I needed
C            F                     Am
I trace the evidence, make it make some sense
          G
Why the wound is still bleedin'
C                       F
You were the one that I loved
      Am                           G
Don't need another metaphor, it's simple enough
    C          F               Am
A wrinkle in time like the crease by your eyes
                    G
This is why they shouldn't kill off the main guy
C    F           Am            G                       C       F
Dreams of your hair and your stare and sense of belief
        Am           F                             C     F
In the good in the world, you once believed in me
       Am             G
And I felt you and I held you for a while
C                  F
Bet I could still melt your world
  Am             G                 C  F
Argumentative, antithetical dream girl
 
Am G
 
[Verse 3]
C             F                    Am        G
I heard your key turn in the door down the hallway
C             F          Am
Is that your key in the door?
G
Is it okay?
       C    F
Is it you?
     Am       G                 C    F
Or have they come to take me away?
Am    G      C   F
To take me awaaaaaaaaay
 
[Chorus (modified)]
Am                     G
Shit my friends say to get me by
C
It hits different
F
It hits different this time
Am
Catastrophic blues
G                             F
Movin' on was always easy for me to do
F
It hits different
G                  C
It hits different 'cause it's you
 
[Chorus/outtro]
C
Oh, my, love is a lie
F
Shit my friends say to get me by
C
It hits different
F
It hits different this time
Am
Catastrophic blues
G                             F
Movin' on was always easy for me to do

It hits different 'cause it's you
