HISTORY BOOKS
As recorded by The Gaslight Anthem feat. Bruce Springsteen
(From the 2023 Album HISTORY BOOKS)



Verse 1
Bm                A
  What's that you say?
           G
I knew you when?
          A                     Bm 
You don't look too much like my friend
              A
Those history books
               G
Filled up with crooks
        A                             G
Stories that I don't want to read again


Pre-Chorus
     A        Bm
I've tried to live
    A                   G     A
One thousand years from here


Chorus
       D A         Bm
When I think of it now
G                 D
It just brings me down
       A            G
When I think of you now
           D A         Bm
And when I think of it now
G                 D
It just brings me down
       A            G  D   G D  Bm
When I think of you now


Verse 2
            A
I'm keeping time
             G
One day goes by
         A                      Bm
I try to live till the next one
                  A
But these history books
                G
Full of haunted looks
            A       G
From people I don't want to see again


Pre-Chorus
            A          Bm
'Cause I've learned to live
         A              G    A
But they try to hold me here


Chorus
       D A         Bm
When I think of it now
G                 D
It just brings me down
       A            G   G D  G D
When I think of you now
           D A         Bm
And when I think of it now
G                 D
It just brings me down
       A            G  D   G D
When I think of you now


Bridge
           D
You just remind me of the
Bm                  G
Nights of smoke and dirty jokes
D                   A
Darkened rooms with lonely ghosts
              Bm             G
And they were beautiful some time ago
    D          A          Bm
But time keeps rollin' us on


Guitar Solo
G   Bm G   Bm A G
Bm A G


Chorus
       D A         Bm
When I think of it now
G                 D
It just brings me down
       A            G   G D  G D
When I think of you now
           D A         Bm
And when I think of it now
G                 D
It just brings me down
       A            G  D   G D
When I think of you now


Outro
D
You just remind me of the
Bm                  G
Nights of smoke and dirty jokes
D                   A
Darkened rooms with lonely ghosts
              Bm             G
And they were beautiful some time ago
    D          A          D  A  Bm
But time keeps rollin' us on
G          D
Rollin' us on
A          Bm
Rollin' us on
G          D  A  Bm
Rollin' us on
G          D
Rollin' us on
A          Bm  G  D
Rollin' us on
