Strum Guide

Use a folk strum for the whole song for a mellow feel.  If you’re rocking, just use it for the bridge:

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

 To rock the song, use this for the verse...

 

(w/palm mute)

D D D D D D D D

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

...and this for the chorus (no palm mute):

 

D D D D D D D D

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +

  

 

 

G                D

You change your mind

        Am              C

Like a girl changes clothes

      G      D

Yeah you, PMS

         Am               C

Like a bitch, I would know

     G         D

And you over-think

         Am          C

Always speak critically

          G         D                 Am    C

I should know that you're no good for me

 

Chorus:

              G

Cause you're hot then you're cold

        D

You're yes then you're no

        Am

You're in then you're out

        C

You're up then you're down

        G

You're wrong when it's right

        D

It's black and it's white

     Am

We fight, we break up

    C

We kiss, we make up

 

 G                              D

(you) You don't really want to stay, no

 Am                                     C

(but you) But you don't really want to go-o

        G

You're hot then you're cold

        D

You're yes then you're no

        Am

You're in then you're out

        C

You're up then you're down

 

/ G - - - / D - - - / Am - - - / C - - - /

 
G          D
We used to be
           Am            C 
Just like twins, so in-sync
      G      D 
The same energy
        Am         C
Now's a dead battery
          G             D
Used to laugh about nothing
            Am     C
Now you're plain boring
           G        D                 Am     C
I should know that you're not gonna change
 

Chorus

 

Bridge:

 

/ Em - - - / C - - - / G - - - / D - - - / x2

 

Em       C

 Someone call the doctor

G                 D

 Got a case of a love bipolar

Em        C

 Stuck on a roller coaster

G                    D

Can't get off this ride

 

G (hold)              D (hold)

You change your mind

        Am (hold)           C (hold 2)

Like a girl changes clothes

 

Chorus x2, just play first half first time

 

End on G
