These are The Great Divide chords by Noah Kahan for Piano and Ukulele.
[Intro]
Em G Cmaj7 C
Em G Cmaj7 C
[Verse 1]
G Am
I can't recall the last
G Cmaj7
time that we talked
G Em
About anything but looking
Cmaj7
out for cops
G
We got cigarette burns in
Am Cmaj7
the same side of our hands
We ain't friends,
G
we're just morons
Em Cmaj7
Who broke skin in the same spot
G
But I've never seen you
Am Cmaj7
take a turn that wide
G Em
And I'm high enough to still
Cmaj7
care if I die
G Am
So I tried to read the thoughts
Cmaj7
that you'd worked overtime to stop
G
You said, "Fuck off," and I said
Em Cmaj7
nothin' for a while
[Pre-Chorus]
G
You know I think about
you all the time
Bm Cmaj7
And my deep misunderstanding
C
of your life
G
And how bad it must have been
for you back then
Bm C
And how hard it was to keep
it all inside
[Chorus]
G
I hope you settle down, I hope
you marry rich
Bm
I hope you're scared
Cmaj7
of only ordinary shit
C
Like murderers and ghosts
G
and cancer on your skin
Bm
And not your soul and what
Cmaj7
He might do with it
[Interlude]
Em G C
Em G C
[Verse 2]
G Am
You inched yourself across
C
the great divide
G
While we drove aimlessly
Am C Cmaj7
along the Twin State line
Cmaj7 G Am
I heard nothing but the bass
C
in every ballad that you'd play
G Am
While you swore to God the singer
C Cmaj7
read your mind
G
But the world is scared
Am C
of hesitating things
G
Yeah, they only shoot the
Am C Cmaj7
birds who cannot sing
G Am
And I'm finally aware of
Cmaj7
how shitty and unfair
G
It was to stare ahead like
Am Cmaj7
everything was fine
[Pre-Chorus]
G
You know I think about
you all the time
Bm Cmaj7
And my deep misunderstanding
C
of your life
G
And how bad it must have been
for you back then
Bm C
And how hard it was to keep
it all inside
[Chorus]
G
I hope you settle down, I hope
you marry rich
Bm
I hope you're scared
Cmaj7
of only ordinary shit
C
Like murderers and ghosts
G
and cancer on your skin
Bm
And not your soul and what
Cmaj7
He might do with it
[Post-Chorus]
Em G C
Ah-oh
[Bridge]
G C Cmaj7
Rage, in small ways
Bm C
Did you wish that I could know
Bm C
That you'd fade to some place
Bm C
I wasn't brave enough to go?
[Chorus]
G
I hope you settle down, I hope
you marry rich
Bm
I hope you're scared
Cmaj7
of only ordinary shit
C
Like murderers and ghosts
G
and cancer on your skin
Bm
And not your soul and what
Cmaj7
He might do with it
[Post-Chorus]
Em G C
Ah (Ah), woah
Em G C
Ah
Em G C
Ah, Lord
Em G C
Ah
[Outro]
I hope you threw a brick
G
right into that stained glass
Bm
I hope you're with someone
C
who isn't scared to ask
I hope that you're not losing
G
sleep about what's next
Bm
Or about your soul and what
C
He might do with it
