Tell Her What I Said
The Sadies
Tell Her What I Said The Sadies Darker Circles | I look so much older Most times the pills take away all my dreams And there’s so much I never told her Her eyes are so pretty they can’t even see That it’s more than I’m used to Lately it all weighs so heavy on me So I do what I have to The little that’s left of me gets on all right But I’m too sick and tired to put up a fight I turn to oblivion night after night I wait right here Smoking and drinking And smoking and Dropping When the mind is forsaken The body’s abandoned and the spirit turns black If I never awaken At least then I’ll have all the answers I lack You’re the last one I’ll turn to and Someday I promise that I’ll get you back And I’ll do what I have to The little that’s left of me gets on all right But I’m too sick and tired to put up a fight I turn to oblivion night after night I’ll wait right here Smoking and drinking And smoking and Dropping | | | | [mandolin: | / | | | | / | | | ] We all thought we’d be someone One man’s promise means nothing Against the will of his god You can’t serve two masters No matter the cause We all thought we were someone Will you take redemption Or watch me fall down from grace? I’ve seen all seven devils And I’m not afraid We all thought we were somewhere | | | / | | | We all thought we’d be someone | | | / | | | | / | . . . *you can play any C here; I have not the competence to figure out what dallas or travis at the 8th position (see below) and noodle around on that and it sounds good enough. where the song shifts around the mandolin break you abbreviate that progression 2nd time around and go right to G. the mandolin break [in brackets] can be skipped if no mandolin is present but it helps shift into the walkdown patterns that I’m indicating with the the song to get the timing. I love this band and this is one of their great songs. thanks to my friend jp who gave me the chords to start with.
