Don't do it for them, do it
      G6
 for yourself, maybe

Disguising the truth, convincing
 G6
 myself, they hate me
Bm7                F#m
Are you really there, or am

I just talking to myself?

I’ll do it again, I'll stay up

and watch the sunrise

On top of the shed, I wish I could
stay here all night

[Verse 1]
  Bm7            D
I miss drinking until six a.m.​
      G6                 G6
With all of my friends, even
ones I just met
     Bm7            D
Hey Owen, I hope that
you’re listening, man
     G6                 G6
You helped me get outta my
 bedroom again
     Bm7            D
I was on the verge of
 the end of it all
     Em
But nobody knew at all
      Bm7            D
And I wish that I could
gеt stuck in the past
       G6                 G6
Back before wе started moving
 so fast
 Bm7            D
Standing this still is a
 choice that won't last
      G6                 G6
And neither will we, so I guess
 it's a wrap
      Bm7            D    F#m
From here, I see this so clearly
        Em
At the edge of the world, still
 in fear of my feelings
Bm7              D           G6
(At the edge of the world, still
 in fear of my feelings)
Bm7               D            G6
(At the edge of the world, still
in fear of my feelings)

[Verse 2]
Em
  Bm7            D
I had everything mapped to a t
      G6                 G6
But everything here isn't quite
 as it seems
     Bm7            D
There's blood everywhere from
 the heart on my sleeve
     G6
A permanent fix, yeah,
  G6
I wanted to leave
     Bm7       D
It all behind me
 F#m*  G6                     Em
Cauterizing the thread on my wings,
 so I'm no longer flying
 Bm7            D
Help, I'm trying to climb out this hell
     Bm7               D            G6
But it's hard to talk when I lack all
 the skills that I need to get
outta my shell
Bm7               D
I’m not scared to jump,
so just please don’t come near me
   G6                 G6
When I hit the bottom is
when they'll start cheering
 Em                          Bm7
And now I’m a ghost, I don't know
                         G6
 if you're hearing this

Bm7
(And now I'm a ghost,
               G6
I don’t know if you hear me)

hello, can you hear me?)
 F#m            G6

 I don't know if you hear me)

 hello, can you hear me?)

(And now I'm a ghost,
 I don't know if you hear me)
EM
(And now I'm a ghost, oh,
         D
hello, can you hear me?)

How to play Geronimo: key, chords and progression

Geronimo by guardin is built around D major (two sharps: F♯, C♯), with 6 chords in all: Bm7, D, G6, F#m, Em and EM.

The backbone of the song is Bm7 – D – G6 – Bm7 (vi7 – I – IV6 – vi7 in D major). In solfa, that is lah – doh – fah – lah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes Am7, C, F6, Em, Dm, D (83% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
