How Do You Tell Someone Acoustic

• G

Based off the tab by User Pete Rasche, adding all the lyrics, and using full G, Cadd9 and Em7 chords


G = 320033      Cadd9=032033    D=000232        Em7=022033
When a line ends on a D* it also sounds neat when you are soloing 
this on an acoustic to add a Dsus4 (xx0233) flourish, but that is optional 



G                D               Cadd9         G
Tina says "don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb
      G               D            Cadd9                  D
we've broken down and broken up so much that I am numb
G                 D                Cadd9                  G
talk about, don't shout about, the people we've become"
          G                 Cadd9  D    G
There's a little girl who's crying over here.

G                     D               Cadd9        G
Michael says, "Don't shout at me like I was born a fool
    G                 D                  Cadd9            D
You speak of love and scream of love now dare to treat me cruel
G                 D                Cadd9                  G
Nothing's fair in love and war so please, let's make some rules
          G                 Cadd9  D    G
There's a little boy who's crying over here"

Pre-CHORUS
             Em7        Cadd9             D
Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried
             Em7         Cadd9            D 
Did you ever need me?  I feel like I just died
             Em7          Cadd9             D
Did you ever want me?  I swear that I have tried

CHORUS

G                   Cadd9         D*
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
G                   Cadd9         D*
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
G                   Cadd9         D            Cadd9
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?

G                D               Cadd9        G
Tina says, "The pictures that we took are put away
   G            D            Cadd9           D
Inside a box of memories for cold and rainy days
G                D               Cadd9              G
Poems in pencil rhyming with the things you'd never say
           G                Cadd9  D    G
There's a little girl who's crying over here"
G                D               Cadd9        G
Michael's old engagement picture's in a wooden box
     G               D                 Cadd9      D
His wooden heart is tough as nails and solid as a rock
G              D               Cadd9        G
Keeps himself protected with a combination lock
          G                 Cadd9  D    G
There's a little boy who's crying over here

Pre-CHORUS
             Em7        Cadd9             D
Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried
             Em7         Cadd9            D 
Did you ever need me?  I feel like I just died
             Em7          Cadd9             D
Did you ever want me?  I swear that I have tried

CHORUS

G                   Cadd9         D*
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
G                   Cadd9         D*
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
G                   Cadd9         D            Cadd9
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?

BRIDGE
Em7        D       Cadd9
(Fighting makes me tired) In my eyes
Em7       D       Cadd9
(Crying makes me tired) There's a spy
Em7       D       Cadd9
(Hurting makes me tired) Hold me tight
Em7       D       Cadd9              G
(Lying makes me tired)     WHooooaaaoooh

G              D              Cadd9            G
Tina says, "I wish that I had never seen your smile
      G               D            Cadd9       D 
Your name is written on my soul in alphabetic file
G                  D          Cadd9              G
All I've got's my dignity, so I will leave in style
          G             Cadd9  D    G
There's a million of us crying over here"

Pre-CHORUS
             Em7        Cadd9             D
Did you ever know me, I swear that I have tried
             Em7         Cadd9            D 
Did you ever need me?  I feel like I just died
             Em7          Cadd9       D
Did you ever want me?  I swear that I swear

CHORUS

How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
G                   Cadd9         D            Cadd9
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?


G                   Cadd9         D*
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
G                   Cadd9         D*
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
G                   Cadd9         D            Cadd9
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
Cadd9      
Anymore, anymore, anymore, anymore
Cadd9      G                   D         Dsus  D
Any time I talk to you there's no one listening
Cadd9         G                  Cadd9      D
Every time I reach for you there's no one there
Cadd9         G                  Cadd9     D      Cadd9
Everywhere I look for you, you're no where to be found
