Falls

B5 and E5 guys that’s it. When I play it on acoustic I like to play the power chord 799xxx for B5 and x799xx for the E5. That lets me imitate some of the cool slides. Of course the X Ambassadors have an amazing guitar player who’s doing tons more than this but this is the basic bones to get the job done. [Intro] [Verse 1] Held onto your letters They’re getting better with age Now my desk’s like a pulpit And my bed like a stage See all these debts keep me under Ain’t no words worth the cost If I should carry me farther Than the load of a lover once lost [Chorus] We used to walk down the road to Buttermilk Falls Dip in your feet put your hair down Thinking I just won’t make it And if I go back tomorrow Would I still feel the same? I put my feet in the water but the water got hotter So I just keep my body by the edge of the bay [Verse 2] Make believe we were younger Forget the money we owe You got your prior commitments baby Just wish I had some of my own ’Cause ain’t no loving me Before you know what I’m worth ’Cause you are the life of the party And I am the scum of the earth [Chorus] We used to walk down the road to Buttermilk Falls Dip in your feet put your hair down Thinking I just won’t make it And if I go back tomorrow Would I still feel the same? I put my feet in the water but the water got hotter So I just keep my body by the edge of the bay
