Verse 1
Gb 
The fossils of my footsteps
Db 
will be  unearthed at a far- off date, unknown
Gb 
Gbsus2 
Impressed in concrete
Db 
Db/F 
from walking home alone
Gbsus2 
after walking you home
Gb 
Db 
And the mops of greasy hair
Gb 
will romanticize my despair
Gbsus2 
Db 
But they      wont know

that I didn't care
Ab/C

I like   the silence,

Ab/C 
Db 
Gbsus2 
in a heartbeat if I had to

The map had faded out
Db 
but I could have sworn I noted every stride
Gb 
Gbsus2 
I guess the rain      hit
Db 
Db/F 
before the ink had dried
Gb 
And where I thought I'd be
Db 
was not what I perceived
Gb 
Gbsus2 
Assessing the progress
Db 
Db/F 
from beneath your sheets

it's all       I need

Accurately transcribed by the GuitarTuna team.

Barre chords ask a lot of the fretting hand. The barre course walks through hand position, pressure, and the cleanest way to land each shape. Practice barre chords

Sus2 and sus4 swap the third in a chord for a second or fourth. The sus course covers the shapes and how to drop them into a progression. Practice sus chords
