The Curse Of Perfect Days Acoustic Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

All, or most, chords can be played regularly, except that you have to accommodate

for the dropped d. Also, if you want to you can play most of the other strings

open.

And you knew eB6xactlEmy whenG

B6 you gave your heart aEmnd all of it G Em

B6Without a thouEmght of whatG you meant

B6you knew you couldn'Emt live without thiGs Em

So maEmke youGr excusB6es now

that tEmime has stoGlen all thB6at you'veG earned

EmMake yoGur excB6uses now

that tEmime has stGolen her B6

Emtime has stGolen her Am

(There is another guitar playing the melody, but I usually play it on the d

string. it is mostly just switching between the noes E and D)

D Em D Em

EmTell me that I'm a fool That I've exaggerated Cthe situation Am

Em'Cause I've never been scared like this Of losing more than IC have to give Am

For this part I will use a small tab to show you how I play it. Im sure that this

is meant for two guitars, but I will just show you how I play it. You can let all

It's so unfair I believed I could handle this

I swore I could fix everything

CBut I told myself lies all of these years

(quickly) D (open) Em D Em STOP

I told myself lies

(same again) D Em D Em STOP

All of these years

DEmDEm(keep playing Em)

The fear that moves in and stays here

D Em D Em The words that replay in your ears

D Em D Em The grip that you held has weakened

D Em D Em Was the life that was yours forsaken

But CI can't take my eyes off of you

*Chorus*

STOP G

And we were still so cool

Our bodies smooth and young (bodies Emsmooth and young)

The dreams of getting older C

Were never supposed to come (were never supposed to come)

The curse of perfect days G

You forget just what you've made (forget juEmst what you've made)

And you find yourself just praying C

For something more than this life

Something more than this l i f eEm G

EmWe wait for the doctors, to prescribe theirD medicines

EmAnd hold their bad news, as if later it wilDl make more sense

EmBut I've never been scared like this (It's so unfair)

Just waitiDng for my strength to give (I thought I could handle this)

EmBut this is the rock, I broke myB6self against (I swore I could fix anything)

We believeCd we'd have our way (And we diEmd, and we did)

The meCmories we have made (Everyday Gwas the best Fmaj11day of my life)

I could neCver repay what I owe (I'll reEmplace, I'll reload)

CEven though I read tAmhe ending before the stGart

Fmaj11I would have never changed a single part

G Am Em C

GTell me I'm a fool,Am tell me I'm just Emscared

Say I'm such a drama qCueen, it's not even fair

GLet me see your eyes, theAm love that's right behind Em

And I'll promise youC

That it will never die G Am

Em C STOP

It will never die

*Chorus*

(first half is slowed down significantly)

And we were still so cool C

Our bodies smooth and young (bodies Emsmooth and young)

The dreams of getting older C

Were never supposed to come (were never supposed to come)

(pick up pace again here)

Stop G

The curse of perfect days

You forget just what you've made (forget juEmst what you've made)

And you find yourself just praying C

For something more than this life

Em (slide up to) G STOP

Something more than this l i f e
