Verse 1

Say, oh, my, things aren't the same

Esus2

Anyone could see that

if I stayed much longer I'd be tamed

We stopped playing games

Esus2

I'm not pointing fingers

but I'm not taking all the blame

Esus2

Playin' all your games, taking all your blame

Esus2

ah- ha

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

Even perfectly fretted chords sound wrong on an out-of-tune guitar. Get in tune in seconds, right in your browser, with the free online guitar tuner
