A d (Down)
Chords Used
d(1 D(2 d(3 Gsus2 Asus4 Asus2/4
The variations of D chords above are not different other than the voicings, which in
country songs is an integral part of the song as most country songs use very popular
and usually overused chord patterns and so country musicians have to concentrate on
their voicings to bring a sense of originality to the song.
Bm7sus2 Bm7 Bm7(2 Bm7(3 Em7sus4 F#/d
INTRO
Bm7 From the moment that we met Gsus2
My world was d(1 turned around
Asus2/4 Upside down
Bm7 To some degree I still re Gsus2 gret
My m d(1 emory for keeping Asus2/4 you around
Em7sus4 Girl I thought that F#/d you were Gsus2 mine
But my Em7sus4 broken hearts been shattered F#/d
Gsus2 One too many times
And I don't want to D(2 see you anymore
Bm7(2 I'm just not that strong
I Asus4 love it when you're here,
But I'm Gsus2 better when you're gone
I'm D(2 certain that I've given and Bm7(2 oh how you can take
There's Asus4 no use in you looking
There's nothing Gsus2 left for you to break
Baby Em7sus please F#/d relea Gsus2 se me
Em7sus F#/d Gsus2 (REPEAT INTRO)
Let my heart rest in pieces
In the next verse, the electric guitar in the background is playing around on
some suspensions in a small riff which is chordally derived from the on we heard
in the intro which means that if you like you CAN get away with a Bm7sus2 instead of
Bm7, but only if you are really being back by a band!
Bm7 Someone let you down Gsus2 again
So you d(1 turn to me
Your Asus4 convenient friend
Bm7 Oh but I know what you're Gsus2 doing
And what you d(1 hope to find
I've seen it a Asus4 thousand times
Em7sus4 Oh the fire we F#/d had b Gsus2 efore
Are Em7sus4 now just bitter ashes F#/d
Left Gsus2 scattered on the floor
And I don't want to D(2 see you anymore
Bm7(2 I'm just not that strong
I Asus4 love it when you're here,
But I'm Gsus2 better when you're gone
I'm D(2 certain that I've given and Bm7(2 oh how you can take
There's Asus4 no use in you looking
There's nothing Gsus2 left for you to break
Baby Em7sus please F#/d relea Gsus2 se me
(careful below as they play one bar less than you would 'feel' before the solo!)
Let my Em7sus heart r F#/d est i Gsus2 n pieces Bm7sus2 Bm7
Yeaaahh...................
SOLO - d(3), Bm7(2), Asus4, Gsus2
And I don't want to D(2 see you anymore
Bm7(2 I'm just not that strong
I Asus4 love it when you're here,
But I'm Gsus2 better when you're gone
I'm D(2 certain that I've given and Bm7(2 oh how you can take
There's Asus4 no use in you looking
There's nothing Gsus2 left for you to break
Baby Em7sus please F#/d relea Gsus2 se me
We both Em7sus know that F#/d you don't Gsus2 need me
Let my Em7sus heart r F#/d est i Gsus2 n pieces
Here again we see the intro motif reappear, this time however it is best to play it chordally
as follows with the chords changing in rhythm to the riff:
BAR 1 2 3 4
|Bm7sus2 Bm7| Bm7sus2 Bm7(3)| Bm7sus2 Bm7| Bm7sus2 Bm7(3)| x2
You should be able to see that the motif is all that is changing between these chords but by
presenting it like this it provides a harmonically pleasing voice!
You can also get away with playing it as in the intro of course, depending on whether you want
to finish it loudly or delicately!
