[Verse 1]E
That which
comes together
A
commenced to
fall apart
F#m
You’ll always
A
lose the battle
E
when your
anger wins the war
E
Unpack all
your demons
A
I Am here to stay
F#m
Hopeless we
A
are broken and
E
our pain is
all the same
[Chorus 1]F#mAE
We are greater
than the
F#m
sum of our
AE
separate parts
F#mA
Wishing we
E
would fall
F#m
together wishing
things
AE
we wouldn’t
fall apart

[Verse 2]E
That which
comes together
A
commenced to
fall apart
F#m
You wonder
A
where this pain
comes from
E
while stepping
E
on my heart
The wounds we
wear so openly
A
have scarred
our little hearts
F#m
The time
A
it takes to heal
yourself
E
Do you know
where to start?
[Chorus 2]F#mA
We are greater
E
than the
F#m
sum of our
AE
separate parts
F#mA
Pieces they
E
will find
their place
F#m
but puzzle
AE
it will fall apart
[Outro]F#mDAEC#mDAE

How to play Grindmother: key, chords and progression
Grindmother by Pity Party keeps coming home to A major (three sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯). You need 5 chords: E, A, F#m, D and C#m.
Most of the song cycles through F#m – A – E – F#m (vi – I – V – vi in A major). In solfa, that is lah – doh – soh – lah. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, G, Em, C, Bm (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 60% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
